- Pel's Post
Pel's Post Pel's Post A bespoke luxury lodge on a private concession in the northern part of the Kruger National Park. pels_post-kruger-lodge-aerial.jpg pels_post-kruger-lodge-9.jpg pels-post-room-2..jpg pels_post-kruger-lodge-aerial.jpg 1/28 Location Private Concession in the Pafuri region, Northern Kruger National Park DESCRIPTION: The award-winning eco-luxe resort, Pel's Post, is located in the remote, undeveloped far north of the Kruger National Park. There isn't a better location to unwind and rest than in one of the four suites, all of which have views of the Luvuvhu River that go on for as far as the eye can see. For the ultimate private safari experience, you also have the option of reserving the full lodge for a group of friends or family - this option comes complete with your own chef, game vehicle and field guide). The lodge's main deck and associated sitting areas, as well as the 4 roomy bedrooms (or "spaces," as the lodge calls to them), are essentially completely open in the front, providing unhindered views over the Luvuvhu river below and the baobab-dotted plains beyond! The design is unapologetically sleek and futuristic, yet the copious use of wood and canvas prevents the lodge from appearing sterile or clinical. Simply put, Pel's Post is one of the most beautiful lodges in Africa! Pel's Post is designed for a family or a group of friends to take over completely, if you wish. With only four suites, accommodating a maximum of eight guests, Pel’s Post is ideal for anyone looking for total privacy. Should you be travelling in a smaller group, you are also welcome to book on a per room, per night basis. All spaces have retractable, remote-controlled screens – offering uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Luvuvhu River below. Sundowners in magical locations, spa treatments, two daily game drives, giant baobabs, the largest fever tree forest in the Southern Hemisphere, drinks around a crackling fire at night, any requests big or small... Pel's Post defines a once-in-a-lifetime bespoke safari experience. Pel’s Post is also famous for its specialist walking safaris. Should you book all four suites, you will have your own chef, vehicle and expert field guide. The Pafuri region of the Kruger is probably the most wonderfully scenic part of the entire Kruger park! Due to its location on the western edge of the Makuleke concession, Pel's Post offers easy access to two magnificent gorges close by, including the well-known Lanner Gorge and the lesser-known but no less breathtaking Mutale Gorge. The gorgeous fever tree forest, some breathtaking pans that are a birder's paradise, and the notorious Crook's Corner—where South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique meet on the Limpopo river—can all be found if you travel farther east in the concession near Pafuri Camp. Even with all the above, your visit to Pel's Post will most likely be dominated by the Luvuvhu river's ipresence. The Luvuvhu serves as the primary artery whose waters draw much of the wildlife found in this often fairly dry area, from the breathtaking views down on the river from the lodge, the dramatic Lanner valley the river has cut, to the game drives and hikes through its gorgeous riverine forest. Although the Pafuri region does not have the same concentration of plains game and predators as the southern half of the park, you are still likely to see superb elephant and good herds of buffalo, especially along the river. Then there’s the also the stunning tree life (the baobabs and fever tree forest are simply spectacular) and the superb birding, commonly recognised as being perhaps the best in the country, especially during the summer months when the migrants from the northern hemisphere arrive en-masse. Who knows – perhaps you’ll even be lucky enough to spot one of the famous fishing owls that lend their name to this wonderfully stylish lodge! RATE INCLUDES: Luxury accommodation Two game drives per day Three meals daily Selected Beverages Tea & Coffee Wi-Fi in central area Private Chef Private Guid - for exclsuive use clients Private Vehicle - for exclsuive use clients HIGHLIGHTS: Pel’s Post has one of the finest locations of any lodge in South Africa – perched high on a bluff seemingly within touching distance of the Luvuvhu river below, these are some of the best views on offer anywhere! OUR TIPS: The lodge’s 4 bedrooms are hugely spacious and open, courtesy of the use of the electronic sliding blinds that replace conventional walls and windows so you can raise them all during the day to enjoy literally 180-degree views and then lower them at night if you want to make things a bit cosier! SADC Special - Exclusive Use R48,100 per night for exclusive use of the lodge for up to 8 guests. Book within 45 days. Valid from 11 January - 19 December 2026.

Great discounts at Lush Private Game Reserve in the Pilanesberg Reserve. Great safari deal. Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge Game Lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve Buffalo-Ridge-Safari-Lodge-Madikwe-special-offers-2026-8.jpg Buffalo-Ridge-Safari-Lodge-Madikwe-Reopen-Relaunch-special-offers-2026-1.jpg Buffalo-Ridge-Safari-Lodge-Madikwe-Reopen-Relaunch-special-offers-2026-7cb.jpg Buffalo-Ridge-Safari-Lodge-Madikwe-special-offers-2026-8.jpg 1/22 Location Madikwe Game Reserve, North West Province, South Africa Madikwe Game Reserve is currently the country's fourth largest game reserve and home to the Big 5 and a host of other game. DESCRIPTION: Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge reopened in January 2026 following an extensive refurbishment, it now offers a refreshed and elevated safari experience in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve. The lodge features redesigned luxury suites, enhanced dining areas, a revitalised main lodge, and a reimagined boma, all thoughtfully created to complement the surrounding wilderness. The spacious Luxury Suites accommodate two guests in either king or twin configurations and include en-suite bathrooms with freestanding baths, indoor and outdoor showers, air conditioning, ceiling fans, private viewing decks, and in-room coffee machines with stocked minibars. Two family-friendly suites can accommodate up to two rollaway beds, making them ideal for families with children under 12. Game drives at Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge showcase Madikwe’s diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife, including the Big Five and exceptional birdlife. Evenings are spent enjoying relaxed dining under the stars or in the lantern-lit boma, where local flavours and warm hospitality create a memorable safari atmosphere.Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge is situated on the Tweedepoort Ridge overlooking the plains and inselbergs of the western section of Madikwe Game Reserve. Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge is a 16-bed luxury facility designed by Nick Plewman, an acclaimed small lodge designer. The lodge is situated at a prime site in the west of the Madikwe Game Reserve, straddling the Tweedepoort Ridge with expansive views across the northern plains and Inselbergs. The central lodge sits on the slopes of a hill across a ravine, separating it from the chalets. Each of the chalets is positioned on the ridge with expansive views to the north. The other stand-out about Buffalo Ridge is its intimacy and seclusion. With only eight suites in total, there’s a very definite feeling of exclusivity to the lodgings, and as the chalets are built on a separate tier to the main lodge you get a distinctive feeling of having your very own personal suite right in the bush. Each chalet follows this theme of making you feel like a VIP: these thatched suites each have their own private viewing deck. The spacious Luxury Suites each accommodate two guests in either king or twin configurations. Every suite features a generously appointed en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath, indoor and outdoor showers, air conditioning, ceiling fan, and a private viewing deck overlooking the surrounding wilderness. Each suite also offers an enhanced in-room beverage selection, including a coffee machine and a fully stocked minibar for added comfort and convenience. Two of the Luxury Suites are family-friendly and can accommodate up to two rollaway beds, making them ideal for families with children under the age of 12. These suites comfortably sleep up to four guests and feature the same facilities and amenities as the standard Luxury Suites. EXCELLENT GAME VIEWING The game-viewing at Buffalo Ridge is superb, much like most safari lodges in Madikwe – but what makes Buffalo Ridge different are the rangers. Locally sourced and trained from the community, they show an obvious love for this, their home. The Big Five are all present and accounted for, as well as plains game (zebra and antelope in droves!), and none of them escape the professionalism eye and bush skill of your guides. These rangers – in fact, all the staff – show a keen knowledge of local flora, fauna and history. Whether you want to know more about the elephant herd you just saw or about what the history of the Balete tribe is, you’ll always be able to find an interesting answer, delivered with a smile. As an added bonus, the Madikwe reserve is utterly free from malaria which is a big plus for families especially. Speaking of which, Buffalo Ridge is a lodge where kids are genuinely welcome!

- Mount Anderson
Mount Anderson Mount Anderson Wildlife and Water Catchment Reserve, Lydenburg mount-anderson-top-cottage-roomjpg mount-anderson-3jpg mount-anderson-5jpg mount-anderson-top-cottage-roomjpg 1/12 Location Mount Anderson Wildlfe and Water Catchment Reserve, Lydenburg, Mpumalanga, South Africa DESCRIPTION: Mount Anderson Water Reserve is a unique and exclusive getaway set in the dramatic landscape of the mountains above the town of Mashishing (Lydenburg) in the Mpumalanga Province. It is an idyllic retreat for families and small groups seeking refuge from the rigors of everyday city life – offering the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind in one of South Africa’s most unique private nature reserves. The property offers spectacular scenery and breathtaking views and carries rare and endangered wildlife as well as some of the most unique vegetation in the country. The property is also steeped in history. It has been owned by Michael and Norma Rattray for some years and now that they have disposed of the famous MalaMala Game Reserve, they are giving their full attention to the operation of this extraordinary property. Mount Anderson has an enormous variety of species of plants, wildflowers and trees – too plentiful to mention. Here you will find anything from two species of Protea – the Common Sugarbush and the Transvaal Silverleaf, Wild Orchids, Red Fuchsia, Cape Holly, St John’s Wort, Aloes, Gladioli, Pineapple Flowers, Hard Fern, and a variety of indigenous trees including Oudehout, several Rhus species, Paresley Trees, Buddleja, the Common Sugarbush and the Transvaal Silverleaf – to mention a mere few. Always passionately dedicated to wildlife, land and water conservation in the country, Michael Rattray purchased the reserve in the 1980s in an attempt to restore it from domestic overgrazing to its original ecological splendor. Successfully proclaimed in 1990 as South Africa’s first-ever private water catchment reserve, Mount Anderson is a classic conservation story and today protects some of the major river catchments that are the lifeblood of the Kruger National Park and all the local communities. RATE INCLUDES: Luxurious en-suite accommodation All meals, picnics and snacks. All activities conducted by an experienced guide. Activities included in the rate: Wildlife safaris - by 4-wheel drive safari vehicles. Fly-fishing - rods / reels available. Horse riding – we have 4 mountain ponies. Mountain biking - exhilarating for all levels. Limited bikes and gear available. You are welcome to bring your own. Hiking trails - range from gentle riverside ambles to a challenging hike and climb. Includes beautiful waterfalls, San rock art, ancient Pedi tribe ruins and relics of the gold mining era from 1880-1900. Kayaking, row boating, zip lining, swimming and picnics at the lakes HIGHLIGHTS: Walking along the grassy slopes is rewarding for lovers of birds and wild flowers. The grassland is undisturbed with a predominance of the palatable Rooigras. It is on the upper grassland slopes that one may see herds of grey rhebok, mountain reedbuck, jackals, black wildebeest, zebra, eland and blesbuck OUR TIPS: At the higher altitudes, where water seeps from sponges or between rock fissures, the resultant marshes host their own unique ecosystems. Here you will find vegetation that has adapted to living in permanent wetland, and the dominant greenery consists of sedges – grass-like plants with characteristic inflorescent crowns on tall straight stems. This is a popular habitat for frogs and toads, as well as shrews and moles. Dragonflies and the less sedentary Damselflies can be seen on warm days.
