Mealtimes are always fun for kids with a daily dessert station filled with all sorts of delicious goodies for them to build their own waffles and pancakes with.

Sleeping Amidst The Sounds Of The Bush

For those looking for a real break from the daily routine and not having to worry about grocery shopping or cooking, there is a plethora of hotel rooms to book on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. The choices range from garden facing twin, king or family rooms, with easy access to the swimming pools, or selected park-facing rooms where you might just be treated to a wildlife sighting. All rooms have a balcony or patio from which you can enjoy your morning coffee while soaking up the sounds of the bush.

Things To Do

Whether you are on vacation to unwind and relax, or whether you are looking for an action-packed holiday, Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge caters to all. Start the day off with a self-drive game drive, or join one of the resort’s experienced rangers on an open game vehicle. After a scrumptious breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the hippo pool, get a game of tennis on, then take a dip in the pool and soak up the sun from the comfort of your poolside lounger. Live on the wild side and experience a game walk on foot with a qualified guide, or book into the world-class Legacy Balance Spa for a massage. Finally, end the day off with a short game drive into the park where you can enjoy a delicious boma dinner around the fire while being completely immersed in nature.

Dining With The Big 5

Centred around the “The Big Rock” that Kwa Maritane is named after and overlooking the wildlife-dense waterhole, the Kwa Lefikeng Restaurant is an ideal space to dine at. Catering for all mealtimes, the restaurant offers guests the choice of a buffet or à la carte with an extensive selection of dishes to suit all tastes, including some specially prepared traditional favourites.

Guests can choose to dine inside or outside and it’s not unheard of for any of the Big 5 to make an appearance while guests are dining.

On Wednesdays and Saturdays, Kwa Maritane offers a unique dinner experience under the stars where guests are escorted into the reserve by the lodge’s rangers to enjoy a beautiful boma dinner set around the fire, complemented by the golden glow of lanterns.

A Final Summer Breakaway

Prime game viewing time is as summer melts into autumn and with the Pilanesberg’s mild post-summer climate, March, April and May make for the ideal time to visit. Bookings are essential, especially ahead of the upcoming holidays, so for more information and to book your holiday, visit www.legacyhotels. co.za/hotels/kwa-maritane-bush-lodge. H
