Location
With the Kruger National Park and the scenically impressive Mpumalanga mountain escarpment on its doorstep, in the heart of one of South Africa's most beautiful environments, this charming hotel enjoys a fabulous lush location on the banks of the Sabie River. It lies in the southernmost part of Africa just 100 m from the Kruger National Park, making this the ideal starting point from which to experience Africa first-hand. Truly the gateway to nature, the lodge offers arranged wild safaris through the Kruger National Park, along with open vehicle safaris and organized wild game hikes. Mpumalanga airport is 105 km away.
