Jatinga Country Lodge, South Africa

Contact a specialist about Cybele Forest Lodge, South Africa

This is a stunning lodge set in exquisite gardens. The setting is like one of an English country estate and the rooms are reflective of this. The hammocks by the pool are particularly inviting as is the outdoor teas set up under the trees. I didn’t get a chance to sample from the famous restaurant but colleagues have informed me that it is excellent. I normally overnight guests for one night at Jatinga at the beginning or end of a safari to have close access to the Kruger Mpumalanga Airport. But if you have time to spare I recommend really relaxing at Jatinga for two or more nights.

Jatinga is a charming country lodge is nestled in over 30 acres of magnificent gardens with the White River running through the bottom of the property. Originally established and operated as a hunting lodge, Jatinga’s homestead dates back to the 1920s. While extensive renovations were undertaken in 2001 when the Lodge was bought by the current owners, the style and ambience of the homestead has been retained. Both the original fireplaces in the lounge are still intact and in working order! For those with an eye for detail, the homestead’s original air vents – in the shape of an acacia tree shading a thatched hut, are a real treat!. Indulge in laid back Colonial charm and tranquillity, sumptuous cuisine and personalised service. At Jatinga you will experience the unhurried world of genteel hospitality and abundant comfort.
