Lush is a Lupini family-owned and managed boutique private game lodge, set within the Black Rhino Reserve – a private concession within the greater malaria-free, Pilanesberg National Park, just 3 hours’ drive from Johannesburg. Exclusive traversing rights to 55 000ha (135 000ac), as well as access to the park’s public section, assure guests an intimate and unique safari experience, with the chance to see all the Big Five, the endangered African cheetah, and more!
Lush can accommodate 16 guests in total, in 8 suites, and is run on Italian hospitality, offering luxury accommodation, exciting dining options, and safari experiences. A contemporary lodge, shaped around the environment, minimalistic décor and natural finishes put the focus on the view, and multi-level interior-flowing-to-exterior spaces are designed for outdoor living. Spend time playing board games on the couches, sip coffee in the bar lounge, enjoy stargazing from the main deck, or savour a delicious meal, while immersed in the sights and sounds of the surrounding bush.
