Listen to the quiet, let the spirit of Africa seep into your soul. Serene, tranquil bushveld setting in the midst of the Big 5, pulsating with Africa’s rhythms this 5 star lodge can be the fulfilment of your African dream.
Located in the Dinokeng Game Reserve (DGR), a collaborative conservation initiative between the private and public sectors, the DGR is home to the only free roaming big 5 population in a metropolitan area in the world. A truly unique investment opportunity. The DGR is only 35km from Pretoria and some 2 hours’ drive from Oliver Tambo International Airport. The DGR is a blossoming wildlife tourism destination attracting tourist not only from Gauteng but also further afield.
During my tenure at Gauteng Nature Conservation in the 1990's, I was instrumental in the conceptualization, formulation and implementation of the North Eastern Gauteng Initiative (NEGI), which is now known as the Dinokeng Game Reserve. Also holding post graduate degrees in both Landscape Architecture and Wildlife Management (UP), I not only have expert knowledge of Dinokeng but also on all aspects relating to wildlife and environmental management. I am thus uniquely positioned to provide practical guidance and expert advice on lodge planning as well as legal requirements in terms of the Listed Activities as described in NEMA.
