Bushveld Magic

Enjoy complete comfort and luxury at Bushveld Magic, a private and solar operated bush house, which forms part of the Hunter’s Pride Wildlife Estate, a veritable gem and best kept secret in the heart of the Dinokeng Game Reserve. The lodge is perfect for 4 to 6 people. Two spacious en-suite rooms each have their own unique setting with pictures by well-known artists, capturing beautiful bush scenery or wild animals and birds. In the one room a King size bed and a single bed allow young couples to have their small children in the same room. The other room has ¾ and Queen size beds, perfect for grandparents or friends to join for a long weekend or holiday, but also ideal for pensioners to enjoy a week away from home. Each suite has its own shower and bathtub. Amenities include many extras on the house, like room mist, towels, body lotion, soap and face cloths. The beds are made up with 100% white linen and tastefully selected decor, creating a comfortable and clean home away from home. An open plan living area is situated in the centre of the house featuring handcrafted wooden furniture, a fully equipped kitchen with a five-plate gas-stove, eye level oven, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as a fridge with a cold water dispenser. Cutlery, enough pots and pans plus a well-stocked coffee-, tea-, and herb-drawer provide you with all essentials needed. At Bushveld Magic we put our guests first with guaranteed fully uncapped WiFi as the house runs almost solely over solar. A smart TV with streaming options allows the use of own login details. Please make sure to bring them with you. Inverter air-conditioning cools down or heats up the rooms to comfortable temperatures. The lounge area leads onto a patio with stunning views of the bush, where you can enjoy your meals surrounded by the sounds of nature or even watch game passing by. A large variety of birds get attracted to the garden areas, where mainly indigenous trees and plants have been incorporated. A firepit and braai facilities as well as a saltwater pool add to complete the perfect bush experience. Safe and undercover free parking is reserved for two vehicles. Dinokeng Game Reserve is the only conservation area within Gauteng, that is home to the Big 5. As the Savanna and grassland biome´s overlap in the 24 000 hectare large sanctuary, a particularly large variety of bird species can be found.

Game drives are one of the most popular activities to take part in. We arrange these for our guests with fully qualified and very knowledgeable field guides. Secure your drive by booking in advance game drives are not included in the price. There are many types of animals you can see. These could be the Big 5 (lion, buffalo, elephant, rhino and leopard) but the reserve plays a crucial part in conservational breeding and releasing cheetahs and boasts of having a very healthy population. Other game species to be encountered are giraffes, hippos, and zebras. Several different antelopes, a vast variety of birds as well as reptiles and insects.

A more intimate and close experience with nature is experienced on a guided walk. I warmly recommend this as being an amazing adventure. Only children 8 years and older can take part in hikes. Please book in advance.
