Experience Africa’s big 5 in 5 star luxury

Legacy Hotels & Resorts will be opening their fifth Big 5 lodge in South Africa, with the construction of the 5 star Elephant Point Lodge, bordering on the Kruger National Park. The banks of the Sabie River, bordering to the Kruger National Park, is the site for one of Legacy’s new developments currently under construction.

Elephant Point, which is being built on 2 900 ha of private reserve, will offer investors the opportunity to purchase their own piece of Africa, while a five star 60 room hotel will give Legacy guests a 5th choice of “Big Five” holiday destinations.

In addition to accommodation, the development will boast conference facilities, a private health spa, a world-class restaurant, flood-lit tennis courts, swimming pool and gymnasium. Walking trails and bird hides will be sited in prime viewing locations and guided game drives and walking safaris will also be on offer.

Elephant Point combines all the benefits for private residential ownership with the natural benefits of the Kruger National Park. Game spotting from your own private viewing deck enables owners to experience the “Big Five” in the river bed or even just metres from their homes.

The area surrounding Elephant Point is renowned for its natural diversity and concentration of the “Big Five” and is undoubtedly one of the best game viewing areas in the Kruger National Park. For centuries this part of the Sabie River has been the meeting place for vast herds of elephant and buffalo seeking the cool waters of the river.

Elephant Point extends the concept of “uhlangano” (meeting or gathering in Shangaan) to include discerning investors looking for their own piece of African paradise. It also pays homage to legendary animals like Mandleve (Torn Ear), an exceptional bull elephant that lived out his days along this stretch of the river. Mandleve boasted tusks surpassing those of even the famous Magnificent Seven in weight.

At Elephant Point, people and animals meet and interact in perfect harmony in a natural environment.
