To every dad who taught someone to make a fire, change a tyre, or recognise a kudu in the veld:

Happy Father's Day!

Currently at Sondela's Bakkie and Boma Festival, a ton of dads are living their best lives. Some are competing for Best Camping Setup. Some are arguing about the right way to braai chops. And all of them are exactly where they should be.

If you spend today with the dad in your life, we hope it's a good one.💙

Safari atmosphere without the safari price tag.🤫

Moselesele is Sondela's tented camp - upmarket canvas, real beds, and the kind of nights you remember. It is the closest thing to a private safari camp at a fraction of what tourist-driven lodges charge.

Why guests love it:
🏕️ Tents kitted out properly, not roughing it
🏕️Private chef to do the hard work for you
🏕️ That under-canvas sound on a quiet bushveld night
🏕️ A short walk to the rest of the reserve's activities
🏕️ Perfect for couples, small groups, and anyone who wants something different

Book a tent. Wake up to the bush.

The bushveld is shifting into its winter rhythm now.

Mornings are crisp, the air is dry, and the game viewing? It is about to be at its best.

Here are a few things you can expect this month:

🌄 Cooler air, which means animals move more freely during the day
🌄 Boma fires after sundown
🌄 The clearest, star-heavy skies of the year

If your year is feeling 6 months too long, the bush has space for you to come unpack it all.

Book your winter weekend getaway.

Today belongs to a generation that changed South Africa.

Youth Day is a public holiday with weight, and we mark it by reminding ourselves what the reserve is here for: to introduce younger generations to a country that's worth protecting.

Wishing everyone a memorable day 💚

School holidays are right around the corner, and the kids deserve something better than a screen.

Junior Rangers at Sondela is not a babysitting service. It is a structured introduction to the bush – tracks, animal behaviour, conservation basics – guided by people who actually love this work.

Pair it with:
✨Farmyard visits for the smaller kids
✨ MTB trails for the teens who can ride
✨ Wildlife Centre visits for the curious at heart

It is the kind of holiday they'll remember. Plan it today.

🚙 Sunset drive
🚙 Convoy adventure across the reserve
🚙 4x4 route with sundowner stop
🚙 Bring & Braai at the boma
🚙 Game drive and breakfast buffet voucher
