The lodge accommodates up to 10 guests, with inter-leading bedroom passages ideal for families. Bar fridges, tea/coffee facilities, and fireplaces are available in every room. Hendrick, a private guide with over 20 years of experience in Welgevonden Game Reserve, leads twice-daily safaris, while Chef Isaac prepares a mix of South African and French dishes tailored to guests' dietary needs. The main lodge offers free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and a solar-powered, eco-conscious setup. A continental breakfast and meals are served at Metsi Lodge, either indoors or on the deck overlooking the waterhole.
