Jaci's Private Lodge

Jaci’s proudly introduces 10 brand-new Safari Suites, each carefully designed to celebrate the wilderness while offering the height of contemporary comfort. Positioned along a year-round riverine that flows directly beneath each room. Every suite enjoys uninterrupted views of the bush, with wildlife often visible from the moment you wake until the stars rise at night.

The design centers around immersion. Floor-to-ceiling glass ensures that no matter where you are — in bed, the sunken lounge, the bath, the shower, or even the toilet — you are always connected to nature. Expansive interiors provide generous living spaces, while private decks invite quiet moments of reflection or game viewing. The sunken lounge offers flexible use, making the suites ideal for couples, friends, or families travelling together.

Finishes are elegant yet authentic, combining natural textures and refined details to create a sense of place that is both luxurious and welcoming. With seamless access to the main lodge areas, guests enjoy the perfect balance of privacy and convenience.

These Safari Suites embody the Jaci’s spirit: bold, stylish, and deeply connected to the wilderness. They are designed not just as places to stay, but as unforgettable experiences in their own right.
