Meals are available upon request in the Lodge Dining room. An array of activities can be enjoyed in the surroundings, including Kruger tours and Scenic Route Tours outsourced to a specialist guide. Fishing, hiking, mountain biking and game drives are offered on the property.

Our stay at Tomjachu was exceptional. We've never experienced such a good combination of service, location and food in our lives (even compared to 4* Hotels in Germany, France, Netherlands and Austria). The dishes were generous and delicious (breakfast, dinner and the lunch-packages), the staff was welcoming, attentive and helpful be it in spontaneous planning of activities or the arrangement of something (like Bush Dinner, Nature Drive or Breakfast). Furthermore the view and the whole surroundings were stunning. They have different animals there (Wildebeest, Giraffe, lot of birds, reptiles and so on.). Some people complained about the gravel road. If you have no lowered sport car you could do the road easily (we had a Toyota Corolla Quest).

Offering views of the garden and the river, the timber log chalets at Hippo Water Front Lodge provide a rustic style outdoor atmosphere. Each chalet has a open plan deck with kitchen and dining area. Barbecue facilities are available.

An amazing place to stay in peace and tranquility. The location next to the river is beautiful and we were lucky enough one evening to see several hippos. A relaxing place with beautiful grounds and well thought out lodges.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    Amazing location, superb views, and wonderful wildlife on their many scenic trails. Cottage was spacious, well-furnished and supplied with everything you need for a bush breakaway. The lodge restuarant had tasty meal options and accommodated our food requests.

    Angie & her husband created a beautiful area in the middle of the nature: very stylish private lodges as well as a shared swimming pool and and sit-in area. We were surprised by the love to the detail which made this stay even more special! Highlight: Our lodge had an indoor + beautiful outdoor shower, a private kitchen & „braai“ (BBQ) station looking at the river. Tip: The next grocery store is a little further out, so we recommend to buy some stuff for a „braai“ in advance. Definitely recommended!

    Didn't have breakfast, the Lodge was great. The only irritating issue for us was being woken up by a baby crying but that's not really the Lodges doing.
