Activities, Sports & Leisure

Game drives

The Pakamisa Private Game Reserve in which the Pakamisa Lodge is comprises a pristine malaria uninhabited wilderness area of some 2500 hectares.

Access to the Pakamisa reserve is restricted, enabling guests at the Pakamisa Lodge to enjoy the exclusive experience of the natural African bushveld. The total area is doubled when the mountainous features such as valleys and ravines are taken into account.  This area of South Africa is characterised by African bushveld with the unparalleled abundance of wildlife and exotic vegetation.

Guests can expect to see leopard, giraffe, zebra, waterbuck, red hartebeest, warthog, bush pig, kudu, nyala, impala, bushbuck, common reedbuck, mountain reedbuck, grey and red duiker, steenbuck, klipspringer, baboon as well as many smaller mammals, predators and reptiles. The bird life, too, is prolific and varied.

Accompanied by an experienced game ranger, guests may traverse the entire reserve in an open safari vehicle. The guide will explain the often-fascinating life cycles of everything from insects, plants and trees to the behaviour patterns of the mammals and birds, giving you a chance to experience at first-hand the magic of the African wild.

Guided walks

The numerous Bush walks are the best way to work up an appetite; these range from stalking trips with camera and binoculars to a comfortable stroll to a shaded picnic spot, where you will be surprised by a creative prepared Bush meal.

Since none of the larger and more dangerous mammals roam the Private Game Reserve and access are restricted, you can look out for your personal little corner of paradise.

Bird watching
More than 200 species have been recorded in the Pakamisa Game Reserve with many more occasional visitors and seasonal migrants. From soaring eagles overhead to the vivid sunbirds flitting through the shrubs, the area offers birdwatchers constant excitement.
Horse-back safaris

Horse lovers will be impressed by the Pakamisa Arabian Stud. The Arabian horses, originally born and bred in Andalusia, Spain, by Isabella von Stepski, renowned internationally as an Arabian expert.

Isabella transported her entire study from Spain to this unique corner of Africa where these noble horses are thriving well. The first generation of the African-born Arabians are already galloping across the endless pastures.

All horses are worked under saddle and the proud breeder is only to happy to arrange riding excursions with the entire herd for guests with equestrian interest.

Horse-back safaris, through the Game Reserve provide guests with a unique and unforgettable experience. An elegant but comfortable lounge and veranda at the Pakamisa Stables invite riders and their friends to enjoy pre-ride drinks and snacks as well as a delicious dinner in a very special setting at the end of a day in the saddle.

Fishing

Expeditions to the nearby Jozini Dam (approximately one hour's drive) can be arranged for anglers seeking the legendary, hard-fighting Tigerfish and other freshwater species.  The Jozini Dam, one of the largest in the region, is in a beautiful setting and an abundance of wildlife visits its shores.   The team will drive you there and back and organise everything you need for a memorable day's fishing.
