The thick, comforting smell of thatch welcomes you to your holiday home in the bush. This is the classic South African safari at its best, but with the distinct advantage of location. Found in the private Sabi Sand Game Reserve, on a very frequented waterhole, you won't believe your luck for discovering such a homely spot in the midst of a prime wildlife viewing reserve where the abundant wildlife from the Kruger roam across freely.

Seven humble, thatched bungalows are positioned around the waterhole. They offer old fashioned comforts and warm tones. Each features a shower-over-bath, as well as an outdoor shower. Four of the eight luxury rooms face the water, while four are hidden in the woodlands beyond for a more secluded feel. The luxury rooms have private patios, lounges and plunge pools.
