Property description
Positioned within a 2,800-hectare Big 5 private nature reserve that borders the Kruger National Park, this exceptional 4-star lodge offers a rare opportunity to own a fully operational, off-grid safari destination in the heart of the Greater Kruger. Though the reserve lies along the Olifants River, the lodge itself is set back in a more secluded part of the wilderness, offering privacy, sweeping bushveld views, and easy access to the reserve’s internal road network.
This is a full title ownership opportunity, with formal commercial rights, including municipal business permits, Health and Safety compliance, as well as a liquor license, and all electrical and operational Certificates of Compliance (COCs) in place with approved plans. The lodge is licensed to sleep 12 guest and currently has facilities for 10 guests.
Powered entirely by an advanced solar system, the lodge runs fully off-grid, reducing operational costs while remaining environmentally responsible. The energy system includes 62 solar panels, a 95kWh lithium battery bank, and a robust 45KVA inverter—delivering uninterrupted power and complete independence from Eskom.
Accommodation includes three luxurious guest rondavels and a spacious family cottage, all with elegant finishes, outdoor showers, and premium comforts. The central guest area features a large swimming pool, expansive viewing decks overlooking the bush, shaded patios, a restaurant and bar, and an atmospheric boma under the stars. Walking paths, bird hides, and waterholes invite close-up wildlife encounters, while the entire 2,800-hectare reserve is accessible to lodge guests for guided drives or walks.
Additional infrastructure includes an owner’s house with one bedroom, staff accommodation, lock up - garages x 2 and 6 parking bays, storerooms, and laundry facilities. Although the 11 seater Land Rover Defender game viewer is not included in the sale, it may be purchases separately.
This is not only a beautifully constructed and run lodge—it is a top-performing business with an exceptional reputation. Currently ranked the #1 lodge in the Phalaborwa/Grietjie area on multiple booking platforms, it has also been awarded the prestigious Global Tourism Excellence Award. The lodge is currently in the process of upgrading from its current 4-star grading to a 5-star rating, reflecting its quality, service, and guest experience.
Whether you're a hospitality investor, safari operator, or lifestyle buyer looking for something extraordinary, this lodge offers a rare combination of commercial value, ecological integrity, and prime location within the Greater Kruger ecosystem.
