Situated on the Parsons Nature Reserve in the Mopani region, approximately 40km north of Hoedspruit and only a 4km game drive away from the banks of the Oliphant's River. Parsons Nature Reserve forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park. Raptors Retreat is an owner-managed game lodge, offering luxurious accommodation and excellent service. We currently have two private lodges: the Elephant Lodge and the Buffalo Lodge. Each air-conditioned room has high thatched ceilings and a huge, built-in king-size bed as well as a large sliding door that opens onto a private deck with double recliners. The deck is nestled in amongst the trees giving you the feeling of being right in the thick of the bush. Our recently completed, air-conditioned, self-catering units offer an exclusive experience for those that just like to do things on their own. There are 2 x two-bedroom units that can sleep four people sharing. Restrictions: No children under 18 years Please note that the reserve gate closes at 18h00 for check-in
