African Hills Safari Lodge & Spa offers an authentic bush escape on the Plumari Private Reserve.
(2386)

Enjoy luxury accommodation, game drives, elephant experiences, a tranquil spa, conferencing, weddings and exceptional dining just one hour from Johannesburg. African Hills Safari Lodge & Spa is situated on the Plumari Private Reserve in the Magaliesberg, just over an hour from Johannesburg or Pretoria and offers guests a memorable wildlife experience. Plumari Private Reserve is set within a pristine wilderness area of 6800 hectares with natural African bushveld and an abundance of flora, fauna, birdlife and wildlife. Two game drives, each approximately 2 – 2,5 hours in duration, are scheduled daily. Elephant Experiences include an interaction with our elephants, which includes a 'touch and feed' experience. The main lodge, which is in fact the old Bodenstein family farmhouse, overlooks the Elephant Dam and invites guests to take a step back in time while admiring South African décor pieces dating back to the 1800’s. Slipper baths, a coal stove, wash stands, luggage chests, antique Oregon cupboards and tables are subtly placed within the luxury four-star surrounding, to emphasize the captivating history of the Magaliesberg area. African Hills Safari Lodge & Spa has one of the largest private collections of ox wagons, carts and other animal drawn vehicles from the period 1800 to 1900. A variety of stone and iron-age arte facts, items from the Boer War and San Bushmen rock carvings tell the history of the area, which is also known for the nearby Battle of Nooitgedacht. Examples are available in the museum and guided bush walks take guests through areas where many stone carvings can be found. In contrast with the rich Boere and Afrikaner history depicted by the main farmhouse decor, the Conference Centre is abundant with African symbology, rich earthy colours and unique African décor focal points. The two contrasting décor themes pay homage to the history while highlighting the significant influence of the indigenous African tribes of the area. African Hills Safari Lodge & Spa caters for romantic getaways, conferences, teambuilding initiatives, training courses and weddings in both the main lodge and Conference Centre. Nature lovers and birding enthusiasts will find the experience most rewarding, while stressed city dwellers will leave feeling rejuvenated and well-rested.

A little time away, a little indulgence and plenty of time to reconnect.

We were delighted to welcome back our friends from for another well-deserved ladies' breakaway at African Hills Safari Lodge & Spa.

The ladies enjoyed exciting game drives, a traditional bush braai, relaxing spa treatments and plenty of well-deserved leisure time in the African bushveld.

What made their visit even more special was the wonderful feedback they shared with our team. It's always lovely welcoming familiar faces back and seeing our African Hills family grow with every visit.

Thank you, Atterbury Properties, for choosing to spend another special occasion with us. It's always a pleasure having you!

Until next time, ladies!

Breakfast tastes a little different when the Magaliesberg is part of the view.

Take your time over the first meal of the day, enjoy the surroundings and decide what you’d like to do next.

A game drive? A walk? Some time at our pool? Or perhaps another coffee before you get moving.

At African Hills Safari Lodge & Spa, we think there’s no better way to start the morning than taking things at your own pace.

Come and start your morning with us.
