The seasonal Monwana River is a central artery for startling volumes of wildlife that inhabit the area. There's something indescribably special about this lodge: it could be the stellar service and attention to detail; it could be the understated indulgence found in the accommodation, or it could be the invitation to immerse yourself in nature at such a close proximity to abundant wildlife. We suggest you do yourself a favour and find out.




The lodge offers several different types of accommodation to suit your style and inclination. All of the suites are spacious and homey, refined in style with an understated luxury that invites you to relax and make yourself at home. Enjoy an outdoor shower or a dip in your private plunge pool. The suites are positioned to optimise your sense of privacy with expansive decks to lounge on while enjoying the absolute serenity of the bush. The different suites are sized to accommodate everything from an intimate couple, a family with children, or a party of two couples in an opulent villa.
The waterhole. Elephants bathing, warthogs trotting through with piglets in tow, and the odd leopard strolling past at dusk — all from the comfort of a lounger, the plunge pool, or even your bathtub!
Book a private wine tasting in the lodge's own wine cellar. The South African collection is superb, and the sommelier tailors the experience to your taste.
Not all of the suites face the waterhole, but the woodland-facing rooms, no less immersive, have their own allure.
