Children aged 12–18 years pay the full adult rate.

Children of all ages are welcome at Pel’s Post (paying the full adult rate).

The Details

The Outpost boasts 12 individual Luxury Suites that nestle on a hill and overlook the Luvuvhu River. The suites are connected to one another and the main lodge area by a wooden walkway. Contemporary in design, these open-plan suites are spacious and feature state-of-the-art electric screens that provide 180-degree uninterrupted views of the Luvuvhu River Valley. Each suite includes a comfortable lounge area, an award-winning bathroom with a stone bath and open shower, and an outdoor terrace complete with daybeds.

The private Honeymoon Suite has all the features of the luxury suites but is positioned high above the camp to offer guests 270-degree views of the African bushveld.

The Outpost's new eco-friendly satellite lodge, Pel’s Post, is an exclusive-use establishment that can accommodate 8 guests in 4 well-appointed open-plan suites. A personal chef, private vehicle, and experienced guide provide families or small groups with the flexibility to move at their own pace.

The lodge facilities include a modern à la carte dining room with a bar and wine cellar, a sparkling swimming pool, a viewing deck with spectacular views, a lounge area with a fireplace and library, in-room massage therapies, and a curio shop.

The 26,500-hectare park, which features mopane woodlands, fever tree forests, acacia thickets, and ancient baobab trees, is home to an abundance of wildlife, including large herds of elephants and buffalo, as well as resident prides of lions. The mountainous terrain is attractive to leopards, and rhinos have been successfully reintroduced into the park.

The lodge offers early morning and late afternoon open-vehicle game drives led by qualified guides. For the more adventurous traveler, bush walks are exhilarating and provide the opportunity to learn more about the smaller wondrous creatures of the bush.

Other activities include a local village tour and a history tour, which visits Crooks Corner and the Thulamela archaeological site overlooking the Luvuvhu River.

The Outpost is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for a true wilderness safari experience.

Leigh-Ann provided me a flight from DTW to HDS for a flight duration of 21 hours. The best I could do was 34 hours. Just made payment today 12/21/2024. I would say you are lucky to have such a proficient young lady on your staff. James Wade

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.
