Dinokeng · Big 5 Reserve
Where the wild whispers, and hearts gather around the fire
Tented suites, bush camps and caravan camping sites — an hour from Johannesburg, in the only Big 5 reserve of Gauteng.
Welcome
Luxury without ostentation
Lords and Ladies Bush Lodge is a small, family-run retreat where the rhythm of the bush sets the day. Rise to birdsong, drift down to the boma at dusk, and let the African night settle in — unhurried, uncrowded, entirely yours.
Wild in every direction
18,500 hectares of pristine bushveld with elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard.
Nights that never end
Boma dinners, starlit skies and the distant call of a nightjar.
Rooted, considered
Locally sourced materials and a light footprint on the land.
Quiet service
A small team who knows your name — and when to leave you to the silence.
Accommodation
Stay your way
Three distinct ways to experience the bush — luxurious tented suites immersed in nature, exclusive private bush camps for families and groups, or well-appointed caravan sites for those seeking freedom and adventure. Each offers an authentic connection with the African wilderness, combining comfort, thoughtful design and a deep respect for the surrounding landscape.

The tableWellness
Slow afternoons, warm waters
Unwind between drives in our wellness space — two pools (a cold plunge and a heated basin), two jacuzzis and shaded loungers under parasols. Quiet corners to breathe, stretch and let the bush do the rest.
