Stay fit while indulging in holiday delights at the lodge's well equipped, open air fitness area. Please note that a yoga matt is also provided in each room.

Our intimate tasting room at River Lodge pays homage to South Africa’s colourful "voortrekker" past. Sip on a glass of fine South African wine while being regaled with stories of a bygone era. Discover how the country’s viticulture journey is inextricably entwined in its rich history. And toast to another fantastic end-of-day safari!!!

One of the main features of a safari is a 4x4 game drive. Our experienced guiding teams will impart their knowledges on the local flora & fauna, offering fantastic photographic opportunities for our guests. They look forward to answering all of our guests' questions. It is important to note that the animals are generally habituated to the vehicles, allowing our guides to ethically & safely approach wildlife within close proximity. However, animals always have the right of way, and our guides are aware of animal behaviour, affording them the final decision on when to approach or leave a sighting. All game drives are conducted in open 4 x 4 Land Rovers with canvas roof cover, shielding our guests from the elements. Blankets and hot water bottles are provided during crisp winter days, and rain ponchos are supplied during the rainy season.

Every game drive includes a leg-stretch at sunset, at which point, guides unpack a cooler box containing refreshments and snacks. A safari tradition known as 'sundowners' is an opportunity to set foot on the African soil and admire the surrounding bush as the sun sets, while sipping on an ice-cold drink. And as an added feature, we also offer Amarula Liqueur on our morning game drive stops. Nothing quite like a bush coffee!!!
