beautiful setting, prices not bad

Very nice experience, staff is helpful although the person helping the kids at the tubing at slopes, did not understand any English, so very difficult to ask questions about rules. The lady that sells the tickets was very well informed and friendly!

A Different African Experience

What a brilliant resort. Skiing, Snowboarding, Tubing, BumBoarding and other adventure activities. Great restaurants, brilliant, energetic vibe and great beer. We really enjoyed our stay, well worth the drive. Besides, when do you ever get the chance to play in the snow in Africa?

You can make it in a 2x4 comfortably as long as there is no snow on road. Check the Afriski website for road condition updates or call their reception directly and they'll help

The main slope is only at 200m at the moment but the slope is being expanded but without natural snow fall it is taking longer than last year. Still we had a great time this last week.
