General Information:
This is a majestic venue located on the banks of the Crocodile River & right on your door-step. It’s a privately-owned game reserve so you get to explore over 1000-hecatres of wilderness. Join us for a spectacular morning trailblazing in the country surrounded by wide open plains, cliff faces along the river, forests & fields followed by a few ice-cold, well deserved complimentary G&T’s to further ignite those senses. Join us afterwards at the chill zone or local restaurant for a great runner’s breakfast where you can savour a multitude of SA finest hand-crafted gins.
