Dining:

Meals are prepared in an ultra modern kitchen, in full view of the dining area. Dinners are eaten outside around the open fire in the boma under the stars, or out in the bush on a "braai", surrounded by nature. There is also a well-stocked craft shop. Jaci's Safari Lodge now has a fully equipped gym, overlooking the river and situated between Jaci's Safari Lodge and Jaci's Tree Lodge. Between the early morning and evening game drives and walks, there is a cool swimming pool overlooking the river.

Activities:

Jaci's Lodges offer guided early morning and evening game drives or walks, and in between you can see more game at the lodge waterhole. On your malaria-free safari in South Africa you may like to lounge around the pool, paddle your own canoe on the Marico River, lie in a hammock or sip ice cold drinks on your private veranda. Expect to see a wide variety of game and many different species of birds on game viewing activities. Game drives daily in the mornings and evenings or walks with knowledgeable and experienced guides are part of Jaci's Safari Lodge African experience.

Jaci's Lodges welcome children of all ages and offers a family friendly safari experience. Children aged 7 years and under are taken on their own game drive during the day. This kiddie's drive is geared totally to the children's interests and age level. The children's dinner is served at 18:00 as no children are allowed in the boma for the evening meal. Children aged 8 to 12 on the Game Drives with their parents are also given an earlier dinner in the dining room, when they return from the Game Drive.
