PACK THE WHOLE PRIDE

A family safari escape at Letamo Lodge

J ust 2 hours 40 minutes (207km)

from Waterfall City, Letamo
Lodge at Qwabi Private
Game Reserve offers a family
safari that feels both effortless and
exceptional. Set within the UNESCO-
declared Waterberg Biosphere, it
combines modern comfort with an
authentic wilderness experience – a
place where game drives, family time,
and great food come together naturally
against a spectacular backdrop.

Letamo is Qwabi’s largest lodge,
designed with families in mind. Its
58 rooms and suites range from Deluxe
to Luxury categories, with interleading
options for parents travelling with
children. Interiors are contemporary
yet relaxed, balancing African textures
with a calm, modern aesthetic. Private
patios and balconies open onto the
bush, reminding guests that nature is
never far away.

Days begin early with coffee before
heading out on a Big Five game drive
led by expert guides. The reserve’s
diverse ecosystem means sightings
are frequent – elephants gather at
waterholes, lions rest in the shade,
and giraffes graze gracefully across
the plains. Back at the lodge, breakfast
is served on the deck before the day
opens up to leisure and exploration.

For active guests, there’s a padel court
