Spoil yourself in a stay at Palala Boutique Safari Lodge, Lephalale.

Take time to relax in a luxurious world, away from the everyday hustle and bustle, surrounded by African bushveld, a short four hours drive from Johannesburg. Spend time sipping cocktails on the pool deck, whilst absorbing the heart-stopping views of African sunsets.

Savour the taste of red wine sipped by the side of the log fire. Choose to dine at the adjacent award-winning Matoppie Restaurant. Expect elaborate quality finishes, king-sized beds, spaces adorned with African art, luxurious specialised room turndowns including a variety of treats from the bath menu and select the perfect cushioning to rest your head from the pillow menu.

Spend the day cycling, bird watching, going for a picnic lunch. Breathe-in and relax on a gentle trip on the Palala River cruise.

Take an early morning or late afternoon safari drive and spot the buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippo and crocodiles. Visit the wild cats and find out more about the secret life of the lion, cheetah and tigers. Take a guided walk with the rangers around the 14,000 hectares to see the bushveld wildlife up-close.

Palala is not a big five game reserve which makes it ideal for a family with small children.
