Description

Toro Yaka, which means 'My Dream' in Northern Sotho, is one-of-a-kind lodge situated in the unforgettably pristine Bushveld of Balule, a 30 000 hectare nature conservancy in the Greater Kruger National Park area. Set apart from others by its seclusion, intimacy and privacy, Toro Yaka allows nature lovers to experience wildlife at close proximity during their vacation. The lodge has been designed for true bush elegance, and combines personal service and closeness to nature. The six air-conditioned, private en-suite double rooms ensure tranquillity and comfort at all times. The cuisine is a fusion of European and traditional African, prepared mostly outdoors over an open fire. Animals can be viewed at the water hole from the swimming pool deck, and there is an abundance of bird life in and around the lodge. Bush activities are accompanied by a professional field guide. The Olifants River, which flow all year-round through Balule, is home to crocodiles and hippos. This is also an area of great scenic splendour, with the northern Drakensberg mountain range being visible from most points. The lodge is only an hour’s drive from two of the main gates to the Kruger National Park. Other attractions in the area include a wildlife rehabilitation centre, a cheetah project, and the Hans Merensky golf club.

We were treated with great personal attention. They really catered for our needs, especially with two vegetarians. Everything there was clean and beautiful. Very quiet and away from it all if you want it to be. Great hosts, great food, enjoyable game drives.

We are Australian and stayed at Toro Yaka during the 2010 World Cup and had the most incredible time! Nicole and Steve are fantastic hosts. The accommodation was beautiful (including outdoor showers), the food was amazing and Steve is extremely knowledgeable about the bush and the wildlife. The game drives were the highlight as Steve and Vusi tracked down elephants, hippos, giraffes and lions for us to see. I would recommend Toro Yaka to anyone and would definitely return.
