Overview
One of South Africa's Top Bush Boutique Lodges.
The exclusive Zebras Crossing is one of South Africa's top Bush Boutique Hotels, situated only 180km (less than 2 hours drive) from Johannesburg international airport in the malaria-free Waterberg mountains of South Africa (a UNESCO biosphere). This genuine, stylish and intimate retreat provides a unique year round destination for guests seeking complete privacy and tranquillity to unwind and experience Africa's charm. Because of its small number of suites, it is the ideal venue for a getaway with friends, family, focused business outings or just to simply unwind and relax. The Lodge can accommodate up to 16 guests in six suites, two of which have additional lofts, all with en-suite bathrooms and private outdoor showers. All suites are spacious, light and airy.
Zebras Crossing was started 15 years ago and is still owned by the same Swiss/Italian family and run by the same team that was there since the opening.
The Waterberg is blessed with a beautiful climate in winter and summer. September to May is summer in South Africa with a dry climate averaging 25-30 degrees and lightly ventilated. Winters (June to August) is crystal blue skies with daytime temperatures around 20 degrees falling to 10 degrees at night. Same time zone I summer as Europe with an easy overnight flight to Johannesburg.
Activities include safari drives, bush walks and relaxing by the pool. Nearby there are 4 beautiful golf clubs, the nearest being 20mins easy drive. Game Viewing: giraffe, zebra, kudu, impala, blue wildebeest, nyala and ostrich as well as over 250 species of birds. No Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, rhinoceros) to allow guests to walk freely (day excursions to Big Five reserves can be arranged including elephant back safaris and wildlife rehabilitation centres).
Zebras Crossing has been a home to many a guests from all over the world. From guests who spend their lives in the public light and just seek privacy to families that want to get away from all distractions and spend real quality time together to beautiful couples and aspiring couples. We have had weddings, celebrated amazing memories and birthdays. Corporate getaways and team building events. We have had yoga retreats, health weeks, safari cooking courses and seminars of all colours and shapes. We received guests from over 39 countries and welcomed each guest as if they were our family and friends. Each stay was different, but each guest left saying "this has been the most amazing place I have been to in years . It was like home".
We hope to welcome you soon and make Zebras Crossing your home away from home.
Yours
