drifters Game Lodge

Drifters also offer the luxury Drifters Game Lodge for the discerning bush lover providing an authentic African experience at a realistic price. Take a few extra days to adjust to the smells, sounds and taste of Africa.

Situated in the 30 000-hectare privately-owned Balule Nature Reserve, alongside the Kruger National Park, the lodge is isolated and intensely close to the magic of Africa. Your expert ranger will teach you about the habits of the Lion and the Rhinoceros, and how to identify the ferocious little Antlion and the Giant Rhinoceros Beetle. For the more adventurous we encourage game walks under the guidance of an armed ranger or you may choose one of our open-vehicle drives.

Accommodation is in eight well-spaced luxury, insect-proof suites under thatch. Each suite has an inner tented sleeping chamber, offering the occupants the full spectrum of the sounds of the African night without compromising safety. All suites are comfortably appointed with electricity, full bathroom with shower and a private patio overlooking the seasonal Mohlabetsi riverbed.

The central lodge building offers broad shady verandas and a comfortable lounge over-looking our rock pool. This feature pool is for those who wish to enjoy a refreshing swim or tan under the African sun.

Animals encountered during your stay are in a totally wild and natural environment, and good game sightings are guaranteed. We are especially proud of our abundant birdlife, which is attracted by the riverine forest.
