Five lodges, each with its own character: Buffalo Tented Camp (off-grid luxury for couples), Marula Lodge (family-style chalets), Tent Camp (authentic bush camp), Leadwood Lodge (pool-side calm), and Haakdoornpan House (warm farmhouse for groups). Each can be booked as sole-use.

Lodge accommodation, three meals a day, soft drinks, tea and coffee, two daily activities (game drive or bush walk where applicable), and laundry. Premium spirits, transfers and trophy fees are quoted separately.

Yes — guests from anywhere in the world are welcome. All rates are published in US dollars.
