Description

Heia Safari Ranch is a three star hotel and Conference centre, nestled below the Swartkop Mountain Range next to the Cradle of Humankind only thirty minutes away from Johannesburg and Pretoria. The charming Lodge is situated on a game farm that is set in the tranquil indigenous South African Bushveld. The attractive Hotel complex and Conference Centre consists of thatched stone buildings that are surrounded by beautifully landscaped lawns. The Heia Safari Ranch restaurant is a picturesque venue for superb dining with windows that overlook the swimming pool and Lake Heritage. Our zebras use the swimming pool as their watering hole to the delight of the restaurant guests. Lake Heritage, which is contained by one the largest hand built stone dams in South Africa, is a great place for bird watching, fishing, open water swimming and canoeing. Giraffe, zebra, Wildebeest, Blesbok, Impala and Springbok roam the hotel grounds freely along with our "Zonky" (Zebra+Donkey cross breed) and four black Springbok.

Capture the spirit of Africa only 45 minutes from Johannesburg or Pretoria. The 3 star Heia Safari Ranch lies in the African bushveld, surrounded by arts and crafts exhibitions and the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site. Giraffe and Zebra roam freely around the hotel property. The pool area is visited by Zebra drinking water from the pool.
