We are proud to be one of only a few lodges in the area who is able to give wheelchair-bound guests limitless safari experiences. No longer is a Safari only for able-bodied individuals, we have gone to great lengths to accommodate disabled individuals in and around the lodge as well as on game drives.
Owners, Hugo and Leandra Bekker’s vision was to create an oasis of tranquility for guests to get back to nature and experience the opulence of the African bush. Hugo suffered a major vehicle accident in 2007 and became paraplegic. The couple embraced their new life by facing challenges head on and raising 2 amazing children.
Building the lodge became a passion for them that they were able to do in 2019. They wanted to make sure to create an inviting space for abled and disabled people alike. The lodge is exclusive and welcoming and offers all the most popular excursions that guests can tick off their bucket list.
We look forward to treating you on your stay.
