Karkloof Safari Spa

Where stillness meets wild beauty.

Tucked away on a private game reserve just 25 minutes from Pietermaritzburg, Karkloof Safari Spa is a destination for deep rest, reconnection, and extraordinary experiences in nature.

Here, mist rolls through the valleys, wildlife roam freely, water flows and luxury unfolds gently — with space to exhale, stay awhile, and experience the natural world with fresh eyes.

Karkloof Safari Spa

Nature. Healing. Peace you can feel.

Hidden in the heart of the reserve, our spa invites you to slow down and soften. Since 2008, we’ve offered thoughtful, highly skilled treatments in a space that’s as healing as the therapies themselves.

Expect spacious treatment rooms tucked into the bush, a Roman bath that opens into the trees, and a team of expert therapists who move at the pace of presence.

EXPLORE

Tucked into the hills of the reserve, The Homestead is our contemporary event space — designed with connection in mind. With sweeping views across the valley, a seamless indoor–outdoor layout, and 12 beautifully appointed bedrooms, it’s an ideal setting for weddings, retreats, private celebrations and corporate stays.

The Homestead

A gathering place, surrounded by wild beauty.

On the Reserve

Untamed landscapes. Unexpected stillness.

Karkloof is home to giraffe, rhino, zebra, buffalo and more — and it’s not uncommon to spot them from your deck, your massage table, or the road into the property. With guided drives and walks available, guests are invited to explore the reserve at their own pace.

For those looking to venture a little further, the Karkloof Falls — one of the region’s most iconic natural landmarks — are just a short hike away. Tucked deep within the forest, the falls offer a breathtaking backdrop for quiet moments.
