Overview of the Lodge and Facilities

Laze away the warm midday hours in your private plunge pool or the cool confines of the photographic hide. 

LODGE AND FACILITIES

Puku Ridge offers a unique blend of luxury and adventure. Relax in the spacious lounges and expansive decks and indulge in delicious meals. This is more than a tented retreat; it’s an adventure. Relax by your private plunge pool or capture wildlife close-ups from our “eye-to-eye” photographic hide.

YOUR LUXURY TENTED RETREAT

They might be called a tent as there is some canvas, but each of the 8 expansive retreats redefines the meaning of a luxury tent. Exquisite views and beguiling spaces are the central theme, from the star bed in an upper-tower to the spacious multi-level wooden deck, private plunge pool or indoor sitting room. Air conditioning, overhead fans and mosquito nets ensure a comfortable night’s rest in a super king or extra large twin bed.

The retreats have well-stocked minibars, tea and coffee stations, complimentary Wi-Fi and international charging facilities.

The indoor en-suite bathrooms have luxurious personal care products, soft bathrobes, slippers, towels, and a hairdryer. The outdoor showers offers an opportunity to embrace nature.

CUISINE

Dining at Puku Ridge is a culinary safari. The fresh fruit and vegetables are hand-picked from a local market, spices and some rare herbs from a secret location, and the wines are the very finest from the vineyards of South Africa. The coffee is always freshly ground, and a wide selection of teas is available. We dare spicy food lovers to try our unique “Chichele chilli“. Are you brave enough to accept the challenge?

From a fireside African BBQ, a private picnic in your suite, a magical dinner under the Tamarind trees, or a bush brunch set up in the wilderness, every meal is an unforgettable experience at Puku.

We cater to most dietary tastes and requirements, but we kindly request advance notice due to our remote location.

WELLNESS & SPA

Being in nature is a balm for the body, mind and soul. We encourage guests to maximise their well-being by booking a masseuse for an in-room massage or making use of the gym mat and equipment provided in every suite.
