Its present owners are the descendents of Paul Kruger, President of the Transvaal Republic at the time of the Boer War with Great Britain and creator of the world famous Kruger National Park and President Steyn. These prominent families played central roles in the twists and turns of South Africa's turbulent past, and the house is filled with ephemera dating back over 200 years. The past and the present sit side by side in this exquisite boutique hotel, the result of complex intermingled visions and culture. It is here that the visitor can rediscover his place in nature. Feed his soul and become one with nature. A place of animals and trees, birds and Sediba Lodge! Your heart swells and your spirits rise and you know there is no other place like Africa. From a lost life you hear it: lions calling across the night, calling to the wildness inside your own heart - you have come home at last.
