Location
Ecca Lodge offers an indoor-outdoor lifestyle embracing the African wilderness. Set in the heart of the Private Reserve overlooking a valley, the lodge offers breath-taking views onto an escarpment of shale cliffs. A highlight of the main guest area is a wooden viewing deck that showcases the exceptional views.
Accommodation
With only 6 suites, 3 of which are dedicated to families, the lodge is intimate, relaxed and trendy, with decor inspired by the natural textures of the African bush. The double suites can accommodate 2 adults each and the family suites accommodate 2 adults and 2 children (under 16 yrs on day beds in the lounge). Family suites also include a private vehicle and ranger. All rooms have private plunge pools and outdoor showers to enhance the connection with nature.
Activities
All guests at Ecca can enjoy twice daily game drives, nature walks and big game walking safaris. Guests in family suites are allocated a private guide and vehicle. At the lodge, The Den is ideally equipped to keep little hands busy for hours and a shared lodge pool provides the perfect place for a communal splash. Additional family activities include board games, scavenger hunts & more.
