A Bushveld Escape: Safari and Nature Experiences at Summerplace
For many travellers, nothing beats the quiet magic of the bushveld. The stillness of early mornings, the call of birds across the plains, and the thrill of spotting wildlife in their natural habitat — it’s the kind of experience that stays with you. At Summerplace Game Reserve in Limpopo, we welcome guests who want to reconnect with nature, whether on a game drive, a guided walk, or from the comfort of a lodge veranda overlooking the wilderness.
A Reserve Full of Life
Summerplace is home to a wide variety of wildlife, from kudu and giraffe to warthog, zebra, and plenty of birdlife. On a drive through the reserve you might find yourself stopping often, not just for the bigger animals but for the small details — a hornbill darting across the road, the tracks of a leopard in the dust, or a dazzling sunset through the trees.
For photographers, the reserve is a dream. The bushveld light changes by the hour, and every outing offers new opportunities for unforgettable shots.
Game Drives and Guided Walks
Our guided game drives take you deep into the reserve in the comfort of a 4×4 vehicle. With the knowledge of experienced guides, you’ll discover not only the wildlife but the ecology, tracks, and hidden stories of the bush.
Prefer something more intimate? A guided walking safari is the chance to slow down and truly immerse yourself. Walking among the wildlife gives you a fresh perspective and a deeper sense of connection to the natural world.
Peaceful Lodge Life
At Summerplace, nature is never far away — even when you’re back at your lodge. Wake up to birdsong, sip your morning coffee with views of the plains, and end the day under a sky full of stars. Our lodges and guesthouses are designed to offer comfort while keeping you close to the rhythms of the bush.
Between activities, you can unwind at the pool, play a round of tennis, or simply sit back with a book and let the wild surroundings do the rest.
Close to the Kruger, Without the Crowds
Many international visitors know South Africa for Kruger National Park — but not everyone wants to compete with busy roads and crowded sightings. At Summerplace, you get the same bushveld atmosphere and wildlife encounters, but in a more personal, peaceful setting.
And with our location just a few hours from Johannesburg and Pretoria, we’re a convenient choice for both local travellers and overseas guests looking for an accessible safari experience.
For Nature Lovers of All Kinds
Whether you’re a keen birder, a wildlife photographer, or simply someone who loves wide open skies and the sound of the bush at night, Summerplace has something to offer:
- Morning and evening game drives with expert guides
- Walking safaris for a slower pace of discovery
- Wildlife encounters with antelope, giraffe, zebra, and more
- A tranquil, crowd-free environment
- Comfortable bushveld accommodation to return to after a day’s exploring
