Lejwe La Metsi

Conservation Game Drives
Lejwe La Metsi’s malaria-free wilderness is home to a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna. Guests can look forward to flexible and informative drives where you can see up to 50 different mammal species, including leopard, hyena, jackal, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra and many more, as well as learn about the marvels of the African bush. Guests will also be given the opportunity to enjoy an upfront and completely unique sighting of our rare species of East African Buffalo, Zambezi Sable, Golden Wildebeest and Black Impala. Our expert and informative guides will share our story of conservation, including providing an understanding of what makes these animals unique and what needs to be done on a daily basis to ensure their welfare and preservation.

For an immersive experience of Africa, embark on foot with our expert guiding team exploring the sights, sounds and smells of the bush, often invisible when on a game drive. Marvel at flowering plants or the bright colours of a lilac breasted roller in a tree and feel your senses heighten as you experience the world around you in a prehistoric way.

As the sun sinks below the horizon, turn your gaze to the stars for a spectacular sky safari. Due to the reserve’s remote location, there is virtually no light pollution, meaning that the skies are some of the best in Africa for astronomy. Enjoy breathtaking stargazing and the view from the Southern Hemisphere all from the comfort of your suite at Lejwe La Metsi.

Sip on a refreshing sundowner at the end of a relaxing day at the viewpoint overlooking a waterhole below. Sundowners can be arranged with or without a game drive beforehand and offer a wonderful opportunity to slow down and drink in the vibrant colours of the African sky before the sun sinks below the horizon.

Unwind and feel rejuvenated with an indulgent treatment in the capable hands of our qualified spa therapists at our Royal African Spa. Treatments, ranging from facials and massages to aromatherapy, can be enjoyed in the privacy and comfort of your private villa. Our healing and re-energizing therapies are the perfect accompaniment to a few days spent in the tranquility of the bush.
