Safari Plains

Safari Plains is set against the backdrop of the magnificent Waterberg Mountain Range within the Limpopo Province. Just a couple hours from Johannesburg, this extravagant haven redefines luxury in the bush boasting a magnificent high-ceiling dining room, elegant lounge, massive bar and a relaxing spa.

Like little jewels placed along winding sand pathways, each of the gorgeous tented suites commands a private space within the natural indigenous bushveld. These safari-style tents offer great comfort and a luxurious ambience with private timber wrap-around decks. A romantic swing or authentic safari seats offers a great space to sit outdoors and enjoy the views over the waterhole.

The six luxury tents at Safari Plains offer a slightly larger main area and come complete with a private Sala which is perfect for whiling away a lazy bushveld afternoon. All tented suites are perfectly appointed with sunken baths, separate showers and private facilities. The hospitality armoire offers a fully stocked mini bar fridge and tea and coffee-making facilities. Air conditioning throughout ensures guests can enjoy year-round temperature-controlled tented accommodation.

The wildlife experience will not disappoint with open vehicle safaris exploring the one hundred and twenty square kilometres of big five private game reserve. A wide array of activities is available such as hot air balloon safaris, horseback safaris, quad biking adventures and guided bush walks among others.
