Finfoot Lake Reserve

Set within the Elands River Game Reserve near Vaalkop Dam, Finfoot Lake Reserve offers an authentic bush retreat within easy driving distance of Gauteng. Here, bushveld and wetland habitats meet, creating a diverse landscape rich in wildlife and more than 400 recorded bird species. Accommodation ranges from chalets and safari tents to bush chalets and a self-catering villa, each designed with earthy interiors and private outdoor space. Days can be as active or unhurried as you choose, with guided walks, game drives, Segway safaris, fishing, kayaking and specialist birding experiences offering different ways to explore. Two swimming pools, relaxed lounge areas, a games room and a full-service spa create space to unwind, while Dream Xplorers keeps younger guests engaged through nature-led activities. As evening falls, the Dinaledi Boma brings guests together for fire-cooked dishes, drumming and stories beneath the stars. Finfoot is where nature, culture and connection come together with ease.
