Get up close to the King of the Jungle. We are home to over 30 lions, many of whom are movie stars with over 400 film, TV shows and commercial credits to the pride, including movies such as "The Ghost and The Darkness" and "The Gods must be Crazy". Now, accompanied by an experienced guide, you can walk with these lions through their natural home, the bushveld.
If you prefer, you can saddle up for a horseback safari to see lions, giraffe, zebra, warthog, kudu, impala, wildebeest and other animals from a different perspective.
Bring your binoculars and notebook and look out for over 200 species of birds which make their home here.
There are four sparkling pools especially for you, two of them heated, in lovingly landscaped gardens.
Keep fit in our fully equipped gymnasium next to the pool area.
Take up the challenge of our 12 hole par 3 Executive golf course, carefully designed to harmonise with the natural bushveld surroundings. If you need help with your game, who better than our resident Pro, Sean Pappas one of the four Pappas brothers and five times Sunshine Tour event winner.
