A rustic secluded dining experience
‘Kadoro’ means ‘tinderbox of stories’, a poetic and fitting name for this rustic, secluded cottage in the heart of the reserve.

Ideal for romantic private dining and intimate groups; a dinner by candlelight will give you a glimpse into a bygone era. Enjoy this rural setting alongside an exquisite culinary experience of delicious braaivleis (barbecues) or wholesome soups and stews.

The Kadoro Extraordinary Dining experience is offered at R1 000 per person, and is available on request only and does not include any cultural entertainment experiences.
