If you’re dreaming of a luxury bush escape just a short drive from Joburg, let us introduce you to Butjani Lodge—a hidden gem that ticks all the boxes! 😍 Located on a stunning 450-hectare private nature reserve near Cullinan, this intimate, family-run lodge is where relaxation meets adventure.
Forget roughing it—Butjani Lodge offers luxury glamping at its finest! Their spacious, fully-serviced en-suite tents come with cosy beds, tea & coffee stations, large bathtubs with a view, and indoor or outdoor showers so you can soak up the bush magic in total comfort. Whether you’re a king-bed kind of traveller or prefer twin beds, they’ve got you covered.
Stays are booked on a bed, dinner & breakfast basis at R3000 per couple per night—and trust us, the food alone is worth the trip! 🍽️
Speaking of food, Butjani takes their farm-to-fork approach seriously. Meals are prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, bringing you delicious, wholesome dishes straight from the land.
And soon, you’ll be able to take a little bit of Butjani home with you! Their brand-new deli is in the works, set to be stocked with freshly-made pastries, artisanal breads, cured meats, cordials, and other small-batch treats—all crafted on-site with love. Once complete, you’ll be able to buy these goodies at the lodge or place an online order for delivery in parts of Joburg and Pretoria (while stocks last).
There’s no shortage of things to do here! Whether you’re up for hiking trails, guided hikes, or game drives, Butjani Lodge offers incredible ways to experience the beauty of the Bushveld. Prefer to take it easy? Soak in your private bathtub, sip on a sundowner, and enjoy the absolute peace of your surroundings.
Need a unique spot for a team retreat or work getaway? Butjani just launched a brand-new conference centre, blending the tranquillity of nature with modern facilities. It’s the ideal space for focused meetings, creative brainstorming, or even a wellness retreat. Imagine sealing deals while giraffes stroll by—yes, please!
Sustainability is a big part of the Butjani experience. The team is working towards a fully off-grid lodge powered by solar energy, ensuring a minimal footprint while you enjoy your stay.
With just six en-suite tents and a double suite, Butjani keeps things intimate and exclusive. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, craving a weekend escape, or looking for a unique work retreat, this lodge promises a serene and energising experience—all just 1.5 hours from Joburg!
