Within the shadows of the imperious Zuurberg Mountains, River Bend Lodge offers an unrivalled safari experience and an unrelenting journey of discovery. Here, you can watch herds of elephant feeding a short distance away, listen to the songs of some 250 bird species or enjoy a personalised game drive into the mountains and marvel at the varying vegetation from thick forested valleys and open savannah plains to hillsides rich in fynbos. From the excitement of tracking the movements of game on foot, learning about the medicinal values of the bush to strolling through the citrus orchards of their adjacent farm, River Bend offers guests a diversity of activities to enjoy and savour in seclusion and privacy and, most importantly, at your own pace and pleasure.
