A place of beautiful rugged landscapes and a home to a wide variety of African wildlife, the Mjejane is fast becoming one of the very best game reserves in the country. And at Jacana River Lodge, you can look forward to experiencing the finest self-catered luxury accommodation options.
South Africans looking to have that wild outdoor experience are truly spoiled for choice, and those visiting from overseas have the opportunity to experience that real African safari without having to go to those destinations that are packed with tourists and offer very few luxury accommodation options.
The Mjejane Game Reserve is one of South Africa’s finest private game parks and that is because not only is it a secluded retreat but also because it offers guests some of the best wildlife sightings. When planning a holiday to this part of the world, whether you are hoping for that idyllic family getaway or if you are visiting with a big group of friends, the Mjejane could be the best option for you.
Deep in the African bush, close to a lazy river, lies Jacana River Lodge, one of the Mjejane’s most prestigious and much sought after luxury accommodation. Guests who choose to make this their holiday home for the duration of their stay have chosen the perfect spot. Spacious, surrounded by wildlife, and with all of the amenities that you could possibly need in order to experience the trip of a lifetime, Jacana River Lodge is the kind of place that will never leave you.
As it is a private game reserve, guests staying in the Mjejane will get to embark on a full safari experience whenever they like, and they won’t be competing with an abundance of other guests, because only those staying in the area are able to use the reserve. This makes for a unique holiday and with the option of luxury, private accommodation, guests can enjoy the wild solitude that the private concession offers.
2023 is set to be the year of travelling. And what better way to start the year than by going into the bush and settling into that slow and peaceful vibe that you can only get when in the wild?
When planning your bushveld trip, you have two options. You could head into the more conventional wildlife parks, like the Kruger which is open to the public, or you can instead opt for private game reserve like the Mjejane, which is more secluded.
Aside from the accommodation being a lot different when you are staying in a private park at a luxury lodge like Jacana River Lodge, there are a few other ways that opting for a private game reserve in 2023 might be the better choice for you.
1. No tourist crowds. One of the greatest things about staying in a private game reserve like the Mjejane, is that there are no crowds of people on the roads or in shared spaces. Given what has happened during the past 2 years, wanting more secluded or uncrowded spaces is completely natural and something that some people might actively look for in their holiday retreat.
2. The best rangers and guides. Some of the most knowledgeable game guides are based in the private game reserves, and sometimes they are attached to specific game lodges.
3. Longer wildlife viewings. In those more crowded game reserves, the general unwritten rule is that you should only spend a little bit of time at each wildlife sighting, to give everyone else the opportunity to get a look. But with fewer people in a private game park, you can enjoy the sighting for longer.
Why is Mjejane Game Reserve Self-Catering Accommodation at Jacana River Lodge so much better than the other options?
The best, and often the most preferred accommodation, is the self-catering option, like that available at Jacana River Lodge. Because the Mjejane is a private retreat, and because Jacana River Lodge is a spacious lodge, a holiday here is perfect for family getaways as well as for groups of friends wanting to make new memories.
When opting for luxury self-catered accommodation in the Mjejane, you will have the freedom to plan your days around your own needs and preferences, and being without any kind of binding schedule can be so much more relaxing.
The flexibility of a self-catered stay at Jacana River Lodge means you can enjoy pre-booked game drives accompanied by an experience game ranger(please note all game drives need to be booked 3 days in advance) whenever you please, or you can simply be lazy by the pool, watching the wildlife passing so close to the lodge that it feels as though you are enjoying your own private safari, without having to drive anywhere.
