Bushman Rock Safaris

Nestled in the granite outcrops above a bend in the Nyamasanga River, Valley View Lodge affords breathtaking views over Bushman Rock Estate. The beautifully manicured gardens and rolling lawns are encircled by a bubbling seasonal stream, a network of small lakes, and the vine-covered valley. 

Hidden amongst tall indigenous trees, the thatched lodges offer complete privacy and take the form of double, twin or family suites, all decorated in a subtle African theme. With their private lounges and four-poster beds, the lodges provide guests with their own oasis in which to ease saddle-weary muscles.

At Bushman Rock we believe that a lodge-based safari offers the chance to unpack your bags and relax travel-worn bodies. The lawns and lush gardens are perfect for the quiet contemplation of nature, reading or simply unwinding. The surrounding Msasa woodland provides cool shade from which to watch the polo ponies in training or the wild fowl at play on the river. 

As our name suggests, the swimming pool and surrounding decking afford stunning views of the valley and vineyards beyond. Looking out over the vineyards and Theo’s Lake, guests may make out antelope or giraffe feeding in the savannah areas in the distance. If the strong African sun becomes too intense, shelter may be found in the coolness of the library or the comfort of the drawing room at the central lodge.
