Immerse yourself in the heart of Botlierskop Private Game Reserve at The Village Lodge, a luxurious, family-friendly retreat where adventure and comfort intertwine. Nestled in a charming village-style layout, this lodge features spacious, private units with en-suite bathrooms, private decks, and breathtaking views of the river, mountains, and reserve—perfect for families, groups, or couples seeking a memorable safari escape. Each unit combines rustic elegance with modern amenities, including access to a heated pool and cold pool, ideal for family fun and relaxation, offering a warm, communal atmosphere for creating lasting memories.

Beyond your lodge, The Village Lodge offers a tapestry of unforgettable experiences for all ages. Embark on guided game drives to spot free-roaming wildlife like rhinos, elephants, and antelopes—though sightings are never guaranteed—or join bush walks to explore the reserve’s diverse habitats, learning about flora, fauna, and conservation. Families will love the Junior Ranger Program, where kids engage in fun, educational activities amidst nature, while adults can enjoy horseback safaris and spa treatments (at nearby Tented Lodge, a 35-minute self-drive), fishing, or scenic picnic spots.

Dine in style at BelleVue Restaurant, a family-friendly haven open to Village Lodge guests and the public, serving gourmet à la carte menus, occasional buffets, and dinner barbecues upon request. Savor wood-fired pizzas (e.g., The Carnivore, Vegetarian), salads (e.g., Greek Salad, Mediterranean Orzo), and house specialties like Lamb Chops or Chana Masala, alongside vegetarian/vegan options, premium wines, and craft beers. Enjoy meals in a rustic, elegant space with indoor/outdoor seating, stunning sunset views, and a welcoming vibe for families and adults alike.

Botlierskop’s commitment to conservation ensures your stay supports wildlife protection, particularly for rhinos, while offering world-class hospitality. Whether you’re captivated by a family safari adventure, a child’s laughter during the Junior Ranger Program, or a tranquil evening at BelleVue, The Village Lodge is more than a stay—it’s a transformative journey into Africa’s wild heart, leaving you with memories to cherish for families, groups, and couples alike.
