The magnificent finishes, opulent architecture and awe-inspiring interior design has now been taken to the next level, following its recent refurb.
Just two hours from Johannesburg and Pretoria, Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge epitomises pure African beauty, with magnificent sunsets setting the horizon alight, as the silhouettes of the mighty Big Five pass by in the lush green and gold grass.
