Accomodation

Your hosts, Fanus and Jennifer Greyling, will accommodate you in their serenely isolated stone lodge, where you can experience nature literally on your doorstep. The lodge has all the comforts of home, and each room has en suite bathrooms. Not to disturb the tranquil and serene ambience, we refuse to put in electricity. Water is heated by gas, and light supplied by lanterns and previously charged battery lights. The characteristic lodge is built from stone with walls three feet thick, and large parts of it date back to the late eighteenth century. Consequently an intriguing history and tales evolved around this special place, not the least being the effect the discovery of diamonds and the Anglo Boer War had on the history of South Africa. We are right amidst everything. Various day trips can be arranged for non-hunters, or hunters choosing a day of rest.

Jennifer’s standards of attention to detail and food would be the pride of many fine hotels. Many dishes will involve the the use of game.

Or you can be accommodated on the Rovos Rail, the most luxurious train in the world, should you wish to book one of our tailor made Train Shooting Safaris in Edwardian luxury. On these trips the Rovos Rail is chartered for your exclusive use, and we use it as a mobile shooting lodge.

When pursuing sandgrouse and desert antelope, you can be accommodated in the five star luxury of Tswalu Private Desert Reserve, one of the areas where Fanus holds the sandgrouse shooting rights. Owned by the Oppenheimer family, this is one of the most luxurious lodges Africa has to offer. Visit their web site at www.tswalu.com.
