Reasons to stay a little longer

A few days at The Zarafa can be as quiet or as full as you want them to be. Stay behind the gate with your own pool and nowhere else to go, or let us arrange Kruger, the Panorama Route and a little more around you.

Our seasonal stays bring together accommodation, dining and some of our favourite Lowveld experiences, with the details taken care of before you arrive. Offers valid until 16 December 2026.

Signature · three nights

The Zarafa Signature Stay

Three nights to settle in, explore and still have time to do very little.

This is The Zarafa at its fullest: your private-pool villa, a privately guided safari into Kruger, a day along the Panorama Route, a massage for two and an evening set aside for a private dinner.

There is enough time to see the Lowveld without making the stay feel like an itinerary.

Beyond the packages

Make it your own

These stays are a starting point rather than a formula. If you would like another night, a different experience, an airport transfer, or something arranged for a honeymoon, anniversary, birthday or proposal, tell us when you book and we will see what can be done.

Looking for something a little different? Talk to reservations and we will build the stay around what you actually want from it.
