Located just 30 kilometres northeast of Pretoria, the reserve combines natural beauty, modern comfort, and a wide range of activities for both leisure and corporate guests.
Guests can choose from standard, honeymoon, executive, and family rooms, or enjoy our self-catering options: the Villa, Cottage, and Cabin—each secluded for privacy and tranquillity.

Guests can also enjoy a shared swimming pool, as well as a restaurant and bar area, perfect for relaxation, social gatherings, and unwinding after a productive day.
Zebra Nature Reserve offers a host of immersive activities, including guided and self-guided game drives and nature walks, perfect for experiencing the rich biodiversity of the reserve. Guests can enjoy birdwatching, fishing in tranquil dams, or exploring the landscape on mountain bikes or horseback. Families can relax by the swimming pool. Evenings can be spent around Boma fires, enjoying traditional braais under the stars, or stargazing in the peaceful night sky. For those seeking culinary delights, our on-site Shebeen Restaurant and bar area offer hearty meals and refreshments in a relaxed, sociable setting. At reception, you’ll find our Curio shop, as well as access to the gym and spa facilities, offering both unique souvenirs and rejuvenating wellness experiences.
