Becks Safari Lodge is a retreat of modern grace in the wild, where glass and thatch frame sweeping views, infinity waters mirror the sky, and firelight draws guests together beneath the stars.
The highlight of the lodge is its elevated setting over the Makhutswi River. From here, every social space — the infinity pool, outdoor lounges, and the fire pit — invites moments of connection. After your evening game drive, gather around the fire to share the day’s stories as the bush comes alive with night calls. Dinners by lantern light on the deck transform simple meals into unforgettable occasions. Ideal for honeymoons and intimate escapes, Becks Safari Lodge offers gourmet dining, heartfelt hospitality and a seamless connection to the wilderness beyond.
