Set along the vibrant banks of the Great Fish River, Great Fish River Lodge is thoughtfully designed to highlight the vast surrounding wilderness. Expansive viewing decks allow guests to immerse themselves in nature, providing ideal spots to watch kudu wander to the river or take in an unforgettable African sunset.
The lodge welcomes children aged 12 and older.
Great Fish River Lodge exudes a calm, classic-contemporary style with a warm, natural color palette. Each of the nine spacious suites features floor-to-ceiling glass doors that provide sweeping views of the wild landscape alongside ensuite bathrooms, outdoor showers, and the convenience of both indoor baths and showers.
Guests can unwind on the main lodge’s deck, read in the cozy library, or savor African-inspired cuisine in a candlelit dining room or traditional boma.
Your stay includes twice-daily game drives, guided nature walks with an armed ranger, and big game walking safaris where you can track rhinos, elephants, and buffalo on foot. A private guide and vehicle are available for an additional fee.
When not out exploring, relax in your suite’s private plunge pool or unwind in the lodge’s welcoming living spaces.

Headed to Sanbona!
I booked through safari[dot]com for a 2 night safari to Sanbona reserve with the assistance of Monique Plaatjies, who was very helpful in clarifying information. What I appreciated most was her quick replies on WhatsApp to all my questions. Her reliability was reassuring!

What a pleasure booking my upcoming trip with Safari.com. Monique Plaatjies responded straight away to my initial query, answering my questions and then moved quickly to tailor make the trip. Her first proposal was exactly what I had asked for. I am so looking forward to my little adventure in May. Thank you Monique!
