          The ride to the breakfast in the bush

          Sit on the spacious terrace of your beautiful lodge and enjoy the breathtaking view over the Pongola Valley. Be sure to take a ride to giraffes, antelopes and wildebeest. In the bush, a breakfast awaits you in the shadow of the umbrella acacia.
