Jackalberry Lodge

Tucked into the wilds of Hoedspruit, Jackalberry Lodge sits in a regional park near the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and close to Thornybush Game Reserve and Andover Nature Reserve. This 4-star lodge delivers an all-inclusive safari base for exploring big-game country.

Seven air-conditioned rooms keep things intimate and stylish. Expect private patios, minibars, and bathrooms with separate tubs and showers, plus hair dryers, bathrobes, phones, safes and desks. The vibe is relaxed lodge-chic — simple finishes and bush views. Note: there is no 24-hour reception.

Dive into the outdoor pool between game drives and soak up bush air. The property offers babysitting/childcare (surcharge), laundry service, a library for downtime, and free self-parking. Wireless internet is available for a surcharge. All-inclusive rates cover many meals and drinks on site.

Wireless internet access (surcharge) keeps you connected. The lodge also provides a safe deposit box and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge, available 24 hours).

Meals and beverages are included under the all-inclusive plan and served at the onsite restaurant. There’s also a bar/lounge for drinks; special dinners, certain dishes or beverages may incur extra charges.
