  • Description
  • Facilities
Caracal Lodge offers self-catering luxury accommodation situated in the beautiful valley of Houtboshoek in Mpumalanga, only 48 km from Nelspruit and 100 km from the Kruger National Park. Caracal Lodge is a 300-hectare game farm comprising four luxury cottages.

The lodge offers various options of luxury accommodation, each with its own special features aimed at lovers of nature and wildlife. Figtree Lodge and Magtree Lodge are bush cottages for couples lit by gas and lamplight, with full self-catering facilities, while Kudu and Nyala Cottages are two-bedroom cottages, each with electricity and all amenities for self-catering.

We are situated in a beautiful valley with 360-degree views. The lodge is surrounded by beautiful grassy mountains, home to the mountain reedbuck, grey rhebuck, oribi and bushbuck, which occur naturally in the area. 300 hectares of unspoilt nature is home to the various species of game that have been introduced, including impala, livingstone eland, zebra, waterbuck, nyala, kudu, blue wildebeest, and giraffe. The shy Red duiker is often seen furtively feeding off the lawns of our two luxury bush lodges.

Take a hike or 4x4 drive around the ranch and enjoy the breathtaking views of the beautiful valley and view game at the same time. A babbling brook with crystal clear mountain water feeds the spectacular waterfall where you can enjoy a picnic, sundowner or a splash under the shade of the forest that surrounds it.

3 nights was just not enough to fully enjoy the incredible hospitality, beautiful views and stunning accommodation! The lodge gets our two thumbs up and then some!

Baie baie lekker! Die uiteensetting van die plek is baie netjies,oulik en iets besonders. Die gaslampies gee 'n lekker romantiese 'vibe' en die swembad is uniek! Wat my stom geslaan het is die kameelperd met sy eie persoonlikeid! Jerry die kameelperd groet jou,as hy wegloop en jy roep hom kom hy terug! Waar in jou lewe! Ek sal defenitief terug wees die keer nie vir huweliksherdenking nie maar met ons kiddies.Hulle sal hul gate uit geniet. Die werkers is ook vreeslik gaaf,behulpsaam en een verstaan tot afrikaans.baie baie beindruk.

We stayed in the Figtree Lodge for two nights and had a very pleasant time. The oil lamps gave a very old world atmosphere, the setting is stunning and the tame giraffe was a treat! Walk to waterfall and caves beautiful. Truly a gem and would recommend it for a tranquil escape. 11km dirt road forces you to stay in, so take everything from salt and pepper (there are 2 braais and wood) to wine. Splash pool should be great in summer.

By far one of the best places we have ever been! How lucky we were to have found it. The lovely lodges are beautifully decorated. The environment is breathtaking. Giraffes, zebra's, horses, ostriches, turkeys and lots more are walking freely on the land which was a dream for the children. Many many thanks to Karen & Donald for making our stay one we will remember for ever!
