Segaia Bush Lodge Self Catering Accommodation In Dinokeng North

Segaia is a small charming self catering lodge situated in the bushveld in the carefully managed 1200 ha Buffelsdrift Conservancy in northern Gauteng. Our Conservancy is well stocked with game, blessed with prolific birdlife, and is infused with that unique African magic found only in the bush.

Segaia Lodge has a watering hole right in front of the lodge where wild game come to drink. Enjoy, therefore, stunning African sunsets on the deck whilst watching zebra, kudu, impala and warthog wandering the grounds of the Lodge. A lucky few may even spot the reclusive leopard.

Segaia is a small lodge that can accommodate up to 24 guests. Although our units are self-catering we can provide services, including TV, upon request.

Segaia Lodge's stylish and luxurious interior design reflects the fine taste of its well-travelled Swiss owner. There is an eclectic mix of Afro-chic finishes, European furniture and antiques from around the world. Each beautiful piece carries its own story, and the owner has brought them all together to create an environment filled with warmth and charm.

The Lodge

The Lodge is a large double-story house filled with a veritable treasure chest of fascinating artifacts. Amongst many others are included an opium den, a sedan chair dating back to the 16th century, Le Corbusier designer furniture, an antique chaise chair, lounge a French grandfather clock and Louis XV chairs.

The ground floor consists of a large 200m2 open-plan living and dining room with wooden floors throughout. There is a large fireplace in the reading corner where you can borrow books from the well-stocked reading shelf.

The second floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 shared bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have luxurious queen-size beds, and the third bedroom has 2 single beds that can be brought together to make a king-size bed.

A king-sized bed (which can be converted into 2 single beds) dominates the open-plan interior and is fitted with white percale cotton sheets and a luxurious down duvet. Set back into the interior of the room to afford total privacy, you still however have the same beautiful view as you do from your wooden deck. Two additional single beds can be provided if required.

The open-plan interior also has a lounge area with comfortable couches and a dining area.

The bathroom has a gloriously large oval bath with unobstructed views of the bush, and a large shower with massaging shower head to ease away your tensions.

Giraffe Unit and Warthog Unit (the Old Farmhouse)

The beautiful Giraffe and Warthog units are set back deep into the bushveld, totally apart from the main Lodge. Kudu and impala are often seen grazing under the trees, and a delightful gravel walkway takes you through unspoiled bushveld to the main pool area.

Although the Giraffe and Warthog Units are adjoining, they're completely private with their own separate verandas, gazebos, tables and chairs, oil lanterns and torches.

Each unit has 2 bedrooms, each with a wonderful king-sized bed (can be converted into 2 single beds) in white percale cotton sheets and a down duvet. The rooms do not have en-suite bathrooms, but the skillful layout provides each room with its own shower and toilet.

The open-plan living room and dining areas have chic earthy tones and textures, successfully linking the interior of the units with the beautiful African bushveld outside.

The Giraffe and Warthog Units each have a fully equipped kitchenette fitted with modern appliances, providing everything you need for your meal preparations. Each unit also has its own outdoor barbeque/braai on the verandah.

The Giraffe and Warthog Units can be reserved together for a group of 8 guests, or as two separate units.
