General Information
- Dress Code: It is advisable to dress in natural colours to blend in with the surrounding environment. Colours like Khaki, Beige, Brown & Green are usually best to deter mosquitoes and insects. You are not required to dress in smart attire for any meals as it is quite informal.
- Malaria: During certain times of the year malaria (from mosquito bites) may be more prevalent in certain areas and we therefore suggest a mosquito repellent like Peaceful Sleep/Tabard – also available in Town. Alternatively contact your local GP regarding the necessity of malaria prophylaxis.
- Shoes: Remember to pack comfortable shoes for the activities and to walk around the lodge.
- Extras: Remember to pack a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, a flashlight and binoculars.
- Electricity: We run on a 220V alternating current system. It is advisable to bring the necessary converters/adapters should you need to use/charge electronics. We also have international plugs for sale in our Curio Shop if you forgot to pack yours. Periodically electricity load shedding is experienced in South Africa. In these instances a generator is utilised to generate power between the hours of 5 am to 9 pm.
- Photography: Remember to pack camera and/or video camera along with necessary chargers, adapters, memory cards, etc.
- Wi-Fi: The lodge has a hotspot in public areas and around the pool as well as all units.
- Cellphones: Cellular phones work in most of the reserve but reception may be spotty. It is recommended that cellphones are put on silent when on any activity – please refrain from answering calls as it is a gross intrusion.
- Amenities: All our units are stocked with amenities such as soap, shower gel and shampoo. You may, however, wish to bring your favourite toiletries with you.
- Laundry: The lodge offers a laundry service at a nominal additional charge.
- Gratuity Recommendation: Tipping is at your discretion. Should you choose to leave a gratuity for the general lodge staff, you can either have this added to your final account, or make use of the gratuity box placed in Reception – as a guideline we suggest 10% of the total bill. Guests may tip guides individually or alternatively place personalised envelopes into the guide gratuity box, also found in reception.
- DSTV: Limited DSTV available at Main Lodge and Marula Camp in the public areas.
