Safari Moon Luxury Bush Lodge is the latest venture of esteemed designer and decorator, Nicola Leitch: an avid collector of art and all things interesting.
Stepping into the lodge is much like entering an eclectic art exhibition, it’s inspiration stemming from around the globe, there is attention to detail in each and every aspect of this brand new boutique B&B.
The lodge and living spaces are draped in luxurious finishes and fine art, from a fifty five-piece collection of renowned Ardmore ceramics to an array of Lionel Smit paintings and sculptures - Safari Moon provides a cultured and contemporary setting for the discerning traveller.

There are seven stylish suites to choose from during your stay, named after different wildlife species that can be seen in the estate and around the lodge. Every room has its own charm, style and story, not forgetting a vibrant collection of both international and African art. One can expect a luxurious and tranquil space to revitalise and rediscover one of South Africa’s most sought after safari destinations.
Guests can look forward to a personalised and exceptional service during their stay, and it’s not just the artwork that’s from every corner of the globe, the culinary experience also has an array of international elements but always comprises from quality ingredients that are both locally sourced and seasonal. Breakfast is included in a stay at Safari Moon and consists of a spectacular spread of seasonal fruit, crunchy homemade granola, yoghurt & honey, freshly squeezed juice and two daily options for the main course. Meals can be ordered in advance from tapas-style gourmet platters enjoyed by the pool, to a three-course lavish dining affair with your host and fellow travellers.

The main lodge opens out to a stylish outside lounge area, pool deck, sun loungers, succulent gardens, braai area and cosy boma. Water-features are found throughout the gardens and create a tranquil atmosphere. Beautiful Balinese parasols catch the bush-veld breeze and create an inviting appeal to the Safari Moon pool deck which is also shaded by a flowing knobthorn, little marula and a twisted velvet corkwood. A hanging chair and leopard orchid suspends in the corkwood which overhangs the bar.

Safari Moon may be a bed & breakfast lodge, but during your stay you can sample the different dining experiences. Tapas-style platters can be ordered at lunch, consisting of a gourmet spread which includes a variety of homemade dips, pâtés, breads, cheeses, pickles and salads. Best paired with a bottle of Creation wine, and can be served by the pool or to your room. Leaving the lodge for the day? Packed breakfasts and homemade picnic lunches can also be arranged to take with you on any self-drive excursion or day trip. Dinners are a lavish affair and are usually served communally under the Ardmore collection, alfresco on the deck or fireside in the boma. Nicola’s flair for flavour, presentation and winning combinations is what makes the food here so enjoyable.

There's something for all and no matter the dietary requirement or intolerances everyone can be catered for at Safari Moon.
Depending on the South African season, Nicola changes up the menu, with lighter dishes like gazpacho, pink picked salads, and sorbets in the scorching summer months and wintertime it’s all about the sumptuous potjies, creamy chicken pies, and spiced poached pears. Utilising only the best local ingredients, simple, yet quality dishes are served at Safari Moon.(Lunches, Dinners & Demonstrations must be pre-booked in advance)
Safari Moon is ideal base to explore the wonders of what the Lowveld has to offer. Activities can be booked during your stay, from a day in the Kruger National Park, a tour of the Blyde River Canyon boat ride to horse riding in the estate. We recommend planning activities prior to arrival which can be arranged with the lodge directly.
