The day starts as dawn breaks over the African bushveld. After an early morning wake-up call, coffee, tea and rusks are served on the main deck. Shortly after, depart in an open Land Rover with experienced Rangers and Trackers who will share their extensive knowledge of the bush. These drives are undertaken at times best suited for game viewing which varies depending on the season but typically starts early morning. Where applicable you may be invited out of the vehicle to see tracks, examine certain plants and follow spoor.
The afternoon game drive is preceded by high tea and extends into the evening to view seldom seen nocturnal species by torchlight.
After a sumptuous Breakfast is served either back at the camp or in the riverbed or bush, guests are offered walks to suit their interests and fitness levels and are accompanied by an armed ranger and tracker.
Walks allow guests a better chance to see some of the smaller creatures of the bush as well as an opportunity to learn more about the flora and fauna of the region, and to have a chance to follow tracks in more detail.
Our Shangaan trackers will enthrall you with their explanations of the medicinal and other uses of the numerous plants and trees along with tales of traditional folklore.
Connecting to nature enhances a sense of wellness, and it is something that is integral to the Serondella experience of physical and mental wellbeing. The spa and meditation deck create a space for holistic relaxation, whether that be through yoga practice or a plunge in the spa-pool.

One-hour long flight over the scenic, Lowveld section of the Blyde River. As the sun rises, the landscape, the vegetation and, if you're lucky, some wildlife will provide photo opportunities. Game spotting cannot be guaranteed but on most flights, we see plains game such as giraffe and wildebeest. Terms & Conditions apply - additional cost.

Each spacious tent rests on a raised platform and features private open-air en-suite facilities, including an outdoor shower and W.C., allowing you to experience nature up close without sacrificing comfort.
Meandering pathways link the tents to the heart of camp, where shared meals bring guests together — either in the open-air gazebo or the boma overlooking a floodlit waterhole alive with wildlife.
Between safaris drives and activities, cool off in the plunge pool or spend quiet hours in the shaded hide that overlooks the waterhole – watching elephants, antelope, and birds come and go undisturbed. The atmosphere here is relaxed and deeply moving — a place where the rhythm of the bush takes over and connection comes naturally. Hear the night’s symphony of hyenas, leopards, and lions become your soundtrack.
