Your Experience

Travellers along the road between Badplaas and Barberton should not miss the amazing Dawsons Game & Trout Lodge, nestling near the halfway point between these towns at the foot of Nelshoogte Pass. This is a place where languorous herds of zebra, impala, springbok, blesbok, eland and wildebeest set the tempo of your day, while the sun paints the landscape in vivid combinations of fiery red, orange and gold at sunrise and sunset. 

This destination consists of savannah plains, dramatic mountains, waterfalls and perennial streams, flowing lazily from trout dam to trout dam, and rates as a superb setting for a tranquil getaway.

At this game and fishing lodge in Mpumalanga, you can enjoy fully inclusive pampering in one of their African Colonial rooms, or if you are part of the crowd that prefers a little privacy, opt for one of their secluded self-catering choices: The Crooked Creekside Cottage or The Homestead, a comfortable old farmhouse built in 1906, that has been gorgeously restored and is perfectly located, enjoying stunning views over a water hole and mountains.

Dawsons Game & Trout Lodge offers the ideal reprieve from the everyday bustle with its immersive nature experiences, glorious African landscape and nostalgic setting.
