Here Be Dragons Personal Highlights:
Discover the Way of the San People
Experience one of the oldest surviving cultures on Earth. The San people, often referred to as Bushmen, share their rich traditions through storytelling, tracking, dancing, and daily life. At Grassland Lodge, these encounters are guided by fluent local hosts, offering deep, respectful insight into a timeless way of life rooted in the Kalahari.
Track Grassland’s Iconic Rhinos
Set out in a proper safari vehicle with skilled San trackers to follow Grassland’s resident rhinos, combining traditional on-foot tracking with comfortable game drives. Depending on the season, you might even witness these incredible animals visiting the lodge’s floodlit waterhole, just meters from your chalet. A rare and unforgettable experience in the heart of the Kalahari.

Grassland Lodge plays a leading role in predator conservation through its dedicated wild dog program. These endangered animals are temporarily hosted on the reserve, offering guests rare and close-up encounters while the dogs await relocation to safer habitats. Sightings are highly likely when the dogs are present. (Please note: wild dog numbers may fluctuate due to ongoing relocation efforts.)
