Unparalleled natural beauty, silence, peace and tranquillity – thus making it easy to live out the meaning of the name Iketla: “be relaxed… be peaceful”
Iketla Lodge nestles in the middle of a 540 hectare private nature conservancy on the Panorama Route, approximately 30 minutes’ drive from the famous Blyde River Canyon. The lodge is surrounded by undulating mountains, valleys and cliffs. Unspoilt African bush and indigenous forests are a haven for more than 200 different bird species and numerous migratory species of wildlife.
A maximum of 16 guests per night can enjoy luxury and elegance in a relaxed and convivial environment. Our personal service and attention to detail will ensure an unforgettable experience. The very nature of Iketla Lodge and the tranquil environment make it unsuitable for young children. We regret to advise that children under 12 cannot be accommodated at Iketla unless by prior arrangement.
Relax at the pool, enjoy the stunning views from the terrace or explore the pristine natural environment on one of many nature walking trails. Iketla is also ideal as a base to visit the Blyde River Canyon, God’s Window and the Rain Forest, various waterfalls, spectacular scenery and the historic town of Pilgrim’s Rest.
