Rock Lodge:
Gnu Ranch has two Rock Lodges, built on a hill overlooking the foothills of the Waterberg. The two lodges each have 3 en-suite bedrooms (4 to 5 beds per room), fully equipped kitchens opening on wooden decks with a spectacular view over a floodlit watering-hole and an intimate rock boma where a bon fire is made every evening to enjoy the music of the nightlife under the stars.
Valley Camp:
Overlooking a beautiful valley, this camp is ideal for a complete break from the city rush. The farmhouse dates back to the 1940's, and if you relax under the giant Marula tree that covers the huge rock boma, you will be reminded to life in the olden days: peaceful, quiet and without the interruptions of modern life.
