Your stay could look like...


Day One
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the friendly Guest Experience team who will welcome you to Safari Lodge.
Following check-in, you will be escorted to your tent by one of the hosts who will give you an overview of what’s included in your stay. Should you feel peckish, you will find a fully-stocked minibar or you can join in for canapes and drinks, back at the lodge.
Indulge in a multi-course dinner in the lodge restaurant before retiring to your luxury tent, and falling asleep to the soothing sounds of nature.
Day Two
Wake up in the wild – you may even see a zebra or giraffe from your deck – before joining the other guests at the lodge for a delicious breakfast.
Now the day is yours! As part of your stay, a multi-day pass to Monarto Safari Park is included. You could spend the day there, or perhaps you’d like to treat yourself to a treatment at Marula Day Spa at the Hotel. At midday, you can enjoy an alfresco lunch of delicious local produce.
Before the sun goes down, hop aboard the open-sided Safari Landcruiser for our Wild Africa Safari where you will spend 2.5-hours traversing the precinct with a knowledgeable Monarto Safari Park guide.
The daily canapes and drinks await you prior to another delicious multi-course dinner in the lodge restaurant.
Day Three
Good things fly by so quickly! Have a leisurely last lie-in and watch the animals graze at the neighbouring waterhole, and then enjoy breakfast at the lodge.
Check-out is at 11am.
