1 Nov 2022 to 30 Oct 2023 - R465 pp
African Hills Safari Lodge & Spa is located on the Plumari Private Reserve, one hour from Johannesburg in the shadow of the Magaliesberg mountains.
Our game viewing drives are available for morning and afternoon trips, as this is when the animals are most active.
You will be accompanied by a skilled ranger and guests can expect to encounter a diverse range of animals and bird species.
There are more than 20 species of larger animals, as well as several types of antelope and plains game, not to mention smaller species like antbears, hyena, porcupine and honey badgers.
These drives make for spectacular viewing
Mountain hike1 Nov 2022 to 30 Oct 2023 - R465 pp
Feel Africa underfoot on a guided bush walk with a trained game ranger over the varying terrains of the reserve. This experience offers an intimate encounter with nature and wildlife identifying medicinal and other plants en route as well as a variety of insects and birds.
Here you can gain a true perspective of the fauna and flora indigenous to the area. Your guide will point out animal tracks, dung, hiding spots, rare birds and educate you on the history of the area. Discover rock carvings along the way in what is said to be the oldest mountain range on earth – the Magaliesberg. Don’t forget your binoculars!
A memorable and authentic encounter.
Petroglyph hike1 Nov 2022 to 30 Oct 2023 - R385 pp
Our accompanied hikes to see the petroglyphs (rock engravings) offer you the ideal opportunity to learn about the finest art created in pre-historic times.
The artists who created these images lived and worked in the Magaliesberg Valley between the Stone Age and Iron Age (approx.. 2000 – 500 years ago).
A short walk to the top of the hill reveals the skills of these people in their near perfect images of various animals with little more than a piece of metallic rock and at best, a crudely fashioned iron spike.
Elephant experiences1 Nov 2022 to 30 Oct 2023 - R825 pp
Get close and personal with our resident elephants, Damara and Nzewe.
Our experience is a unique opportunity and starts with an educational talk followed by a “touch and feed” experience. It gives you the chance to learn about African elephants, both wild and habituated as you interact and feed these gentle giants.
Closed shoes are recommended and don’t forget your camera! A truly unforgettable encounter.

hosting a national conference we could not have asked for much
more” Michelev892 from Midrand describes her conference
experience on Tripadvisor. “From the reception, functions,
meals, menus and every staff member encountered, we couldn’t
have asked for more. The staff were exemplary.
Can’t wait to come again”.

flora, fauna, birdlife and wildlife. Two game drives, each

luggage chests, antique Oregon cupboards and tables are subtly placed

of the Magaliesberg area.
African Hills Safari Lodge has one of the largest private collections

1800 to 1900. A variety of items from the Boer War and San Bushmen rock
carvings tell the history of the area, which is also known for the
nearby Battle of Nooitgedacht. Examples are available in the museum,
which is a popular venue for teambuilding or pre-dinner drinks. The Day
Visitors Center is abundant with African symbology, rich earthy colours
and unique African décor focal points. All conference venues
