SAFARI PARK
Rooted on Allanwater since 1985, Safari Park has grown from two thatched chalets into a welcoming guest and game farm with a much‑loved padstal on the N1. Inspired by the wild places of South Africa, we added the Tent House and Rock Cabin, expanded our guest units, and continue to invest in thoughtful stays — including The Sheep Shed, a twelve‑room conversion, and a new caravan park.
BACK TO THE FARM
After university, a return to the farm sets the foundation for hospitality.

NEW GUEST UNITS & GAME FARM GROWTH
A vacant two-bedroom cottage with an apartment is converted into additional guest units. Game-farm activities continue to grow year by year.
THE PADSTAL TAKES SHAPE
As popularity rises, guests ask for meals on-site; the padstal/restaurant is developed to complement the stays.
