The towering Drakensberg mountain range offers a majestic, panoramic view, which will leave you breathless as you step onto the alfresco dining terrace.

It’s not about racing from one sighting to another at the summons of a faceless, crackly voice on a radio! It’s about their intuitive instinct in locating and tracking down those exciting animals. White rhino and our fiercely guarded black rhino are among the big three that we can proudly show you, whilst rare and quirky wild dogs are a regular find.
