Serene Safari Lodges

Serene Safari Lodges offers a collection of luxury bush accommodations across several prestigious wildlife reserves in South Africa. Located within driving distance from Johannesburg, their properties span across Elements Private Golf Reserve, Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, Ditholo Wildlife Estate, and Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

The portfolio includes eight distinctive lodges: Hillside Lodge (5 bedrooms) in Elements Private Golf Reserve, Shammah Lodge and Gweda Lodge (both 5 bedrooms) in Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, Kudu Lodge (4 bedrooms) and Duiker Lodge (3 bedrooms) in Ditholo Wildlife Estate, Tadima Lodge (4 bedrooms) and Cliffhanger Lodge (5 bedrooms) in Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, and Umoya Safari Lodge in Black Rhino Private Game Reserve.

Each property offers self-catering facilities with fully equipped kitchens, except for Umoya Safari Lodge which provides a full-service boutique experience including gourmet meals and game drives. The lodges feature open-plan living areas, private pools, and luxury amenities. Guest capacities range from 6 to 14 people, depending on the property.

Activities available to guests include golf at nearby courses, horse riding, spa treatments, wildlife encounters, hiking trails, and various adventure activities such as ziplining. The properties are particularly noted for their wildlife viewing opportunities, with visitors frequently spotting elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and various antelope species.

The company operates under Global Property Developers, founded in 1991, and offers both rental options and co-ownership opportunities. Their co-ownership model allows investors to purchase a percentage of a property, which is registered in their name at the deeds office, distinct from traditional timeshare arrangements.
