The Lodge has five luxury bedrooms and is a fully staffed safari home for rent, perfect for small groups of friends or families, looking to indulge in true African hospitality and total comfort. Children of all ages are most Welcome at the lodge, and on safaris, under the supervision of their parents. The five large bedrooms are divided into a three bedroom and a two bedroom house. These connect to the main lodge via a raised walkway. Each bedroom has a bathroom en-suite, with four having also an outside shower for the ultimate natural experience! The bedrooms within each house have inter-leading passages, perfect for checking up on little ones if needed, still ensuring your complete privacy. All rooms gaze out on to our private waterhole keeping you attuned to the buzz of life outside. The five bedrooms sleep a maximum of 10 guests. Metsi Lodge offers a wonderful atmosphere of relaxation and comfort and staying here, one does truly "feel at home in the bush." With the lodge folding doors opening onto an expansive deck overlooking our private water hole, constantly buzzing with Wildlife, one is always on nature's doorstep. The entire lodge is unobtrusively fenced to encourage the ever present wildlife to remain at a comfortable distance. Metsi Lodge provides enough space and intimacy to be at home whether sipping something cool at the pool, reading a book, or perched on the deck scouting for elephants and other wildlife at the water hole. Should you feel the need to keep apace with the outside world, there is satellite television and WiFi access in the main lodge. Comfortably sitting in our land cruiser game viewer, our highly experienced, fully qualified guide will be leading you to enjoy the full spectrum of wildlife. The reserve offers Big Five game tracking as well as many species of antelopes and superb bird-life. Everything you can expect in South Africa is there...Elephant, Waterbuck, Rhinos, Giraffe, Buffaloes, Eland, Zebra, blue Wildebeest, Warthog and Impala are common residents close to the lodge. Lion and Cheetah are also frequent sightings on our adjacent grass plains and acacia woodland, where we also receive regular visits from Hyenas or that elusive leopard! Good food and an inviting table are an important part of a great day. Our chef prepares delicious meals delivered with a huge smile and served on the deck overlooking the waterhole. Meals are varied affairs and may include picnics in the bush, dinner under the stars, lunch on the terrace, and al fresco breakfasts and brunches. We are flexible in catering to all tastes and dietary requirements. We can also provide for the younger members of the family should you need separate meal times. Our chef will strive to bring you a delicious homemade feast at each meal by creating dishes from the freshest available ingredients and baking our own bread and biscuits. All this can be enjoyed in the warmth of the dining room or out on the open deck. A wide range of beverages are available of course...
