Finfoot Lake Reserve
Finfoot Lake Reserve is everything you could want in a weekend break or week-long holiday. Located near Johannesburg (only 90 minutes’ drive), that much-needed slice of peace and quiet is within easy reach for travellers seeking to escape the urban jungle. This lodge near Johannesburg is naturally crafted from wood and thatch, perfectly complimenting the surrounding woodlands and foliage. Finfoot Lake Reserve offers two accommodation options: comfortable chalets or a stylish self-catering villa located close to the Vaalkop Dam, which is ideal for families and groups of friends celebrating a special occasion. The large thatched lapa serves as the main hub at Finfoot Lake Reserve. This open-sided, breezy building is home to the camp's bar and cosy lounge areas where most meals are served. Descend a few steps out onto the sun deck, where there's plenty of seating to sit back and soak up the view. The swimming pool is a popular spot for those looking to put their feet up with a cocktail or two. Finfoot Lake Reserve is true South African hospitality at its best. The conference centre caters for up to 60 delegates if you are looking for a venue to host your next event. We can arrange a number of interactive team building activities too. Set within the tranquil Greater Pilanesberg area and a short drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, you will still find yourself in the heart of the action as this is a place of plenty when it comes to activities. Bring your bike, go for a paddle on the lake. Try a bush walk or game drive, delight in a sunset barge cruise, or how about taking on the Segway safari if you’re up for a bit of fun?

Kruger Kumba
Kruger Kumba was established in 2020 by Justin and Sonique, a Cape Town based couple who have an immense love for travel. After visiting numerous countries, we were devastated to learn that our travels have come to an abrupt end due to the worldwide pandemic, Covid 19. ​ Our mindset shifted from traveling to travel destination. With an immense love for ocean and bushveld, we decided to buy two log cabins, Lahlekile Nathi and Mugwenzi. Both homes border the world renown Kruger National Park and both only 100km to the exotic beaches of Mozambique. ​ As tourists ourselves we wanted to create a space where fellow local and international travelers can experience a true African bushveld adventure. ​ Our ultimate goal is to increase our footprint into Mozambique as well. This will give our guests an opportunity to book a bush/sea package, all at the click of one button. ​ Log cabins are our passion and we therefor decided to carry our theme across all future projects. ​ We look forward to sharing our beautiful homes with all the nature lovers out there.
