Game Reserve, that you will find n'Kaya Lodge.
n'Kaya

Tastefully
decorated in warm earthy tones and indigenous woods,
n'Kaya combines luxury with natural simplicity.
The 4 spacious double suites each with private
lounges and twin ensuite facilities ensures optimal
space for the discerning guest.
Each suite consists
of a double bedroom with two en-suite bathrooms
and a lounge. The lounge may be converted into
an additional bedroom with en-suite bathroom by
the use of an interleading door. This makes it
ideal for single accommodation if required.
n'Kaya accommodations
include:
• Pool
• Boma
• Air-conditioned suites
• En-suite bath and shower
• Conference facility
n'Kaya is particularly
lovely on cold winter nights when guests gather
round the huge open-hearth fireplace in the middle
of the lounge and trade stories of game sightings
over brandy and hanepoort.
Not only can you
expect top-quality cuisine and exceptional service
from your ranger, hostess and the staff of this
charming lodge, but n'Kaya has been the recipient
of the Diners Club Merit Award for their exceptional
wine list for two consecutive years (2001 & 2002).
A fully equipped
conference room, ideal for small breakaway conferences
or think-tanks is also available. Activities
Game
drives are undertaken in open safari vehicles every
morning and evening with the camp's highly trained
rangers and trackers. Walking safaris can also be
arranged. At the end of the day, a hearty bushveld
dinner is taken at the open boma next to the pool
where one can relax by the crackling campfire, listening
to the night sounds of Africa as the animals come
to drink at the floodlit waterhole.
The staff take great pleasure in sharing with you their passion for hospitality
and the excitement of dawn and dusk safaris in open Land Rovers, ensuring close
and unrestricted encounters with the Thornybush wildlife. Enjoy the gentle nurturing
of an Elephant calf by its mother or a close encounter with a Lioness and her
cubs. The more adventurous are encouraged to join the experienced game ranger
on a walk as he interprets Africa's footprint.
Brunch
at n'Kaya is served on a polished wooden table on the
north-facing verandah flooded with mid-morning sunshine.
It gets the day off to a glorious start, and you may
find yourself lingering over a second or third cup
of coffee while watching wildlife drinking at the nearby
waterhole.
