About Lichenry Bush Lodge
Escape to the untamed beauty of the Waterberg with a stay at Lichenry Bush Lodge, a privately owned game lodge nestled in the heart of Nooitverwacht, right on the edge of the 7,000-hectare Doorndraai Dam Nature Reserve. Just a two-hour drive from Pretoria, this exclusive destination offers an immersive safari experience where nature meets luxury, and where three of the Big Five roam freely.
Accommodation
Lichenry Bush Lodge offers a variety of accommodation options designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding bushveld. Choose from beautifully appointed safari villas or charming thatched-roof chalets, each thoughtfully built to reflect the natural landscape.
Every lodge is booked on an exclusive-use basis, ensuring complete privacy for you and your group. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or a group adventure, the lodge promises a peaceful and secluded stay in the wild.
Please see the individual chalet and lodge descriptions with photographs below, to assist you with your choice.
On Site Restaurant
Although the lodges and chalets are self-catering, our restaurant is open to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner and an ideal destination to enjoy a hearty bush meal. Vegan and vegetarian options are also available.
Activities
Your safari adventure begins the moment you arrive. Enjoy twice-daily game drives with expert rangers and trackers, timed to optimize wildlife sightings. For those in search of more elusive creatures, evening drives offer the chance to spot leopard, as well as spotted and brown hyenas. Walking safaris, birding tours, and photographic safaris are also available for those who want to explore the bush on foot or through the lens.
For thrill-seekers, top-tier quad biking and mountain bike trails offer a unique way to experience the terrain — just let us know your experience level so we can tailor the route. Other exciting activities include Big Five walking safaris, interpretive nature walks, safari picnics, and clay pigeon shooting. No matter your pace, Lichenry Bush Lodge has something to offer every kind of explorer.
Area information
Nooitverwacht is a haven for African wildlife and biodiversity. The area teems with natural beauty and provides a safe yet exhilarating opportunity to connect with nature. It’s important to note that the lodges are unfenced, allowing animals such as leopard, rhino, and buffalo to pass freely through the property. While our rangers and staff prioritize your safety, we remind all guests to remain vigilant, especially at night, closed shoes are a must, and all nighttime movement should be accompanied by staff or security.
While Nooitverwacht is in a low-risk malaria area, guests are encouraged to take standard precautions. Visits and activities are undertaken at your own risk, and respect for the wild environment is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
