The Lodge:

The 4 Safari-styled tents are nestled in between Marula, Knobthorn Acacia and Sausage Trees and overlooks a dry river bed and the Northern Drakensberg Mountains. Each tent is fully furnished and has its own private deck and en-suite bathroom with both a bath and outdoor shower.

Fans in each tent will ensure that you stay cool during those warm summer nights. Insect gauze on all the windows and doors ensures that insects stay outside where they belong.

In the main reception area, visitors will find a lounge for those lazy afternoons, and a dining area that keeps visitors dry when it rains. There is a cosy bar complete with a variety of first class South African wines.

On the open deck outside, there is a sunken swimming pool and fireplace where visitors can enjoy those magical African nights. During the day, the deck has unrivalled views of the surrounding bush, dry river bed, waterhole and mountains in the background.

Sausage Tree Lodge's resident staff will ensure that every one has a memorable stay and becomes part of our continually growing family.
