Set on a hill, with vast views overlooking the 7 500ha reserve, the creature comforts and heritage charm of Koro Lodge provide a striking contrast to the harsh natural beauty of the majestic Cederberg terrain. Loved by families, Koro Lodge provides a complete break with loads of educational-but-fun activities on the go from dawn to dusk, giving active kids the best adventure holiday ever, not to mention the joy of discovering their own cosy loft with four beds under the eaves.
Koro Lodge’s incredible team makes sure that guests are immersed in this ancient landscape, with excursions to see rock art, learn about San culture, and go on nature drives or enjoy hikes, mountain biking and canoeing. The littlies, especially, enjoy guided treasure hunts and splashing in the glorious sparkling infinity pool. Spa treatments at the main lodge are hedonistic highlights for parents, although mouth-watering meals concocted by the personal chef come a close second, not to mention spectacular sundowners with homemade snacks from the wraparound terrace with its expansive views…
The decor oozes laid-back luxury, with natural fibres and South African elements and artefacts giving a wonderful sense of place. Welcoming and homely, it’s not long before a digital detox gradually settles everyone and board games get fiercely competitive in front of the fire in the evenings! The heat of the day is best spent cooling off in the inviting pool before retreating to the luxury of air-conditioning in the living area to read and rest before high tea and the afternoon game drive..
Why the Cederberg?
The bewitching drama of Cederberg light and its spectacular rock formations, not to mention 130 rock art sites, is what makes Bushmans Kloof such a unique escape. Koro Lodge gives families the privacy they need, with the main lodge just a few minutes’ drive away for spa treatments and even archery lessons.
