• With Warehouse Theatre reachable in 22 km, Daan Viljoen Game Lodge features accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a bar and a garden.

  “The view from my chalet allowed me to see what was going on at the salt lick. I saw hartebeest, wildebeest, kudu, ostrich, baboon, warthog, springbok, oryx, and impala just walking around the area. The room was nicely appointed with a coffee/tea service. Breakfast selections were great and the Boma Restaurant had a good menu.”
