The lodge is located in a private game preserve in the bushland, 3 hours north of Johannesburg, South Africa, in the Waterberg.

The terrain consists mainly of sandy paths through the bush and open plains. There are some rocky Koppies (hills) that are made of conglomerated sandstone and are some of the oldest rocks on the planet. We are very happy with a temperate, dry climate and it usually never goes above 30 degrees.
