What to Expect from Your Valentine’s in the Bush Experience

The experience transitions into a culinary treat with an intimate 2-course lunch. South African lodge cuisine is renowned for its hearty yet sophisticated flavours, and this meal provides the perfect opportunity to connect with your partner before heading out into the wilderness.

• A Scenic Welcome: Start your date with a refreshing drink.

• The Main Event: A guided 3-hour safari game drive through the reserve.

Sundowners and Safari Magic

The true magic of a Valentine’s in the bush celebration lies in the late afternoon glow. The package includes a 3-hour safari game drive led by expert rangers who share their deep knowledge of the local ecosystem. You’ll have the chance to spot giraffes, various antelope, and perhaps even some of the more elusive residents of the bush.

As the sun begins to dip behind the horizon, the drive concludes with the ultimate safari tradition: sundowner drinks and light bites. This takes place in a scenic bush setting, allowing you to toast to your relationship while the sky turns shades of amber and violet. It is a quintessentially South African way to end a romantic day visit.

Whether you are local to the North West or driving through from Gauteng, this day visit offers a seamless, high-value escape for 14 February 2026.
