Discover the new Riverhorse Lodge: An eco-luxury hideaway

Tucked away in the 9,000-hectare Greater Cradle Nature Reserve near Johannesburg, the newly unveiled Riverhorse Lodge offers a slice of eco-luxury paradise. Opening its doors in September after a chic makeover, the lodge is managed by the award-winning Cradle Boutique Hotel, known for its TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award in 2023.

Situated in the UNESCO-listed Cradle of Humankind, the lodge and hotel are close to three famous paleoanthropological sites: Gladysvale, Motsetse, and Malapa.

Riverhorse Lodge boasts five lavish bedrooms for up to 10 guests, available for exclusive bookings only. With its own team of staff, including a game ranger/guide and private chef, the lodge promises a secluded escape amidst indigenous trees and a serene lake.

Meanwhile, Cradle Boutique Hotel offers 30 upmarket (4-star) rooms, some perched high on stilts to reduce environmental impact. The hotel's restaurant, with its stunning views of the valley and the Highveld landscape, invites guests to indulge in culinary delights.

Nature lovers can explore the Cradle Connection, which offers guided tours of paleoanthropological sites and thrilling activities like game drives, bush hikes, and birdwatching.

Both Riverhorse Lodge and Cradle Boutique Hotel contribute their profits back into the Greater Cradle Nature Reserve, ensuring its preservation for future generations.

For an eco-friendly retreat that combines luxury with nature, Riverhorse Lodge and Cradle Boutique Hotel are your go-to destinations in South Africa's natural wonderland.
