Thaba Khaya Lodge, Sable Ranch

Over an hour from Johannesburg and 40 minutes from Pretoria in the Northwest Province hides an exquisite retreat called Thaba Khaya Lodge. This beautiful lodge is part of Sable Ranch, a Private Game Reserve and proclaimed Natural Heritage site which is situated in a malaria free area. Accommodating up to 16 guests in beautifully appointed lodgings, it is the perfect destination for romance, team building, or a quiet escape from the city.

Thaba Khaya Lodge means ‘house on a rock”, which is an accurate description as the lodge sits on top of a granite outcrop. The elevated bar and pool deck offer breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, as well as a watering hole where animals often come to drink. Guests can unwind in a comfortable lounge area or on the decks by the pool and listen to the wide variety of birds.

Each room is furnished for comfort with air conditioning, soft percale cotton sheets, extra towels, coffee and tea facilities, a mini fridge, stocked upon request, and daily cleaning service. Enjoy two gourmet meals a day at Thaba Khaya Lodge. Our in-house chef delivers an unforgettable dining experience with an emphasis on game and local produce. Dine under the stars or in our spacious lapa.

Thaba Khaya Lodge is the perfect travel destination just outside the bustle of city life. Through our conservation and restoration efforts we’ve become a haven for several vulnerable species and migratory birds. Whether you’re a big game enthusiast or an avid bird watcher, our expert guide will lead you on thrilling game drives. Each sighting is a reminder of the incredible diversity and wonder of the animal kingdom.
