These two exceptional, privately owned lodges, run by Jan and Jaci, together with an outstanding team, will exceed all your safari expectations. Jaci's Safari Lodge is a unique, openplan thatched area built around a huge termite mound and is popular with families. The rooms are a combination of stone, canvas and thatch and each room has a private wooden deck which overlooks a small ravine and running stream. Jaci's Tree Lodge comprises tree houses, each encompassing a large tamboetie or leadwood tree. Raised wooden walkways link all rooms to the main Lodge.
