About this place

Bush Lodge offers luxury accommodation among lush thorn trees at Sable Ranch, a private game reserve and national heritage site located north of Brits in 4000+ hectares of pristine North West province bushveld.

Hear our lions roar right outside your room and explore the camp's light walking trails. Wake up to a lapa breakfast and the sound of our local pair of blue cranes greeting the morning. The Banded Mongoose Bar and spacious patio are part of the original farmhouse - kick back to enjoy a pool view or admire the glorious African sunset.

A scenic 2-hour drive from central Johannesburg and only 90 minutes from Pretoria East, ideal for families and groups. Breakfast and dinner included, plus one 1-hour morning game drive per booking.
