A small bush lodge, just outside Dinokeng.
Self-catering units about an hour from Pretoria and Joburg. Quiet mornings, a fire at night, and a braai at every unit. Come slow down for a few days.
A quiet stay in the bush. Easy to get to.
Klipdrift Sands is a small lodge on the edge of Dinokeng. We run it ourselves. Each unit has its own braai or deck, and the days tend to feel longer than they actually are.
