Activities

Delve into history... and be transported to one of history's bloodiest and most famous battles. Learn about the bravery, the foolhardiness, and the tragedy of it all by famous storytellers in chilling detail. Eight Battlefields from three different wars are within easy reach of the Lodge, as well as The Talana Museum - one of the best in the country and to top it off the site which marks the end of the Bonaparte Dynasty.

Walk... on our 1000 acre estate. Climb up Sinqindi hill and take in a bird's eye view of the battlefields stretched out below.

Hiking... trails in the footsteps of advancing soldiers and fugitives running from certain death

Birding... the Biggarsberg escarpment is host to at least 270 species. See most of them in our gardens.
