If it’s a touch of luxury you’re after and you don’t mind being out of town, this ranch offers four-star rooms that feature varnished wooden furniture and large bathrooms with marble sinks. It’s based on a private game reserve, where hyenas, giraffes, buffaloes and various antelope wander. You'll find it 25km southwest of Polokwane (on the N1).
