Paradors Game Ranch

Paradors Game Ranch

Situated in the heart of the Mara valley, Mpumalanga lies Paradors, a 4 000 hectare hidden treasure - not only as Game Ranch, but also as a natural sanctuary far from the distractions of modern life. It’s situated a mere 15 km from the N4 National Highway, making it an ideal halfway stop-over for guests travelling between Kruger Park, Swaziland, the Mozambique border and Kruger International Airport.

Peace and tranquillity will meet you at the gate and you and your family can enjoy a true natural experience all year round. The sound of a Fish Eagle calling and the sight of buffalo, giraffe, kudu, bluewildebeeste, zebra and many more can be enjoyed from the comfort of your seat at the swimming pool or lodge deck.

The facility is a secure, restful, scenic and natural style lodge with five bedrooms with bathroom en-suite and one family room -  all equipped with ceiling fans - an open lounge, dining room, fully equipped kitchen and boma overlooking the bushveld, with the majestic mountains as backdrop.

The Lodge:
All the rooms are in close proximity of the boma. Here visitors can meet around the fire in the evening and have their dinner under the uncountable and beautiful African stars, listening to the night call of the jackal and hyena. The sparkling swimming pool gives visitors a cool respite from the summer heat. Your room will be serviced by our friendly staff on a daily basis. With prior arrangements, meals can be catered for.

The Tent Camp:
Away from the lodge and nestled into the heart of the bush, the self catering camp is located next to a stream and surrounded by peacefulness and magnificent views of the veld. The accommodation comprises of six tents on stilts with four single beds in each and a fully equipped communal kitchen with fridge, gas and 3 plate gas stove. Deep freeze facilities are available at the lodge.  Please bring your own skottel braai. The tent camp can accommodate 24 guests.

An essential point to consider is the fact that there’s no electricity and lighting is provided by paraffin lamps in the tents and kitchen area. Please remember your torch and towel. Each tent has its own hot shower (donkey) and flush toilet. These are private but partially opened to the sky, allowing visitors to indulge in nature and animals when using these facilities – almost the true bushveld way

A boma is available for guests to cook around a fire with millions and millions of stars keeping an eye over them.
