Jaci's Tree Lodge
Jaci’s Tree Lodge provides an extraordinary opportunity to live with the squirrels and birds in elevated luxurious suites. The eight treehouse suites are set on stilts in a riverine forest providing magnificent views from the bedroom, bathroom, viewing deck, and private outdoor showers. Appearing to float above the ground, these suites are ideal for keen birdwatchers.
While the construction is largely focused on eco materials to blend in seamlessly with the natural environment, the interiors exude the vibrant spirit of Africa with unique colourful decor.
Guests at Jaci’s Tree Lodge have the opportunity to book a night at the exclusive Naledi Treehouse where you can sleep out under the stars. This unit boasts an exceptional view over a watering hole, a canopied king bed, outdoor shower, and private wood-fired hot tub. Enjoy a night of star gazing and wake up to animals gathering for a drink down below.
The main lodge area at Jaci’s Tree Lodge features an open fireplace separating the lounge and dining area. Here you can also enjoy a drink from the bar, relax on the raised deck, or follow a path to the lodge’s forest swimming pool for a refreshing dip.
Daily early morning and late afternoon game drives through the untamed African wilderness provide a chance to spot the Super Seven (Big Five, endangered African wild dog, and cheetah) up close. Jaci’s Tree Lodge is the ideal choice for photography enthusiasts. Guests can book photographic safaris suitable for all experience levels. Photography equipment is available for hire if needed.
