Children

Children of all ages are welcome at Jaci's.

Children aged 12 and under are comfortably accommodated in their parents' room on their own stretcher.

Children aged 7 years and under are taken on their own Game Drive during the day by one of the rangers - this is a kiddie's drive and is geared totally to the children's interests and age level. The Game Reserve does not allow children under the age of 12 to do WALKS inside the Reserve.

Baby sitters are provided to look after the "littlies" while the parents are on the Game Activities.

Children aged 8 to 12 on the Game Drives with their parents are also given an earlier dinner in the dining room, when they return from the Game Drive. Jaci's found this worked very well as children are hungry and tired by the time they serve the main dinner.

Weddings

Jaci's provides outstanding venues, complete with a team of people to ensure your special day is hassle free. At Jaci'sLodges they assist you in planning the perfect day. They have catered for several weddings from 80 to 5 guests, each created around the individual needs of the wedding couple.

Their wedding package includes the usual daily activities and meals. The extra details (flowers, pastor, photographer, etc.) are privately arranged and we can assist once everything is at the lodge.

Jaci'sLodges can accommodate 36 adults (between Safari and Tree Lodge) which allows two different venues for the ceremony and for the reception.
