During your stay at the lodge, you can look forward to early morning and evening game drives in the private Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which is famous for its big cat sightings and Africa's Big Five. Guided bushwalks afford up-close encounters with the fauna, flora, and the smaller wondrous creatures of the African bush. With over 300 bird species recorded, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is a bird-watching paradise.

The Family Suite (2 suites linked by an enclosed walkway, not directly interleading) is capped at max 2 adults + 2 children aged 12–16 years. Childminders must be booked on arrival day at ZAR 120 per child per hour. Children must be supervised at all times (unfenced lodge).
