Looking for peace and tranquility? Syringa Sands is the perfect destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Situated on the Kransberg plateau in the malaria free Waterberg in Limpopo, you will find us halfway Vaalwater and Thabazimbi, 38km from the Marakele National Park gate and 14km from the Welgevonden South Gate and Kololo Lodge. The route to the gate is a scenic journey passed several game farms; the last 40km stretch is a dirt road, a higher clearance vehicle is recommended, especially in the rainy season.

The self-catering cottage (76sqm) is nicely tucked away in the forest, it offers two equal size bedrooms, both with a single and a queen size bed. The open-plan living and kitchen area lead out to a covered stoep area. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, gas stove, micro wave and fridge/freezer (no oven). The lounge features a large fire place and 2 daybeds for afternoon naps. The bathroom has a shower, basin and toilet, there is a second toilet and a utility area with a washing machine. Syringa Sands is a remote and quiet nature farm, however should you need to work remotely for a few hours, attend a meeting, send a few e mails or study online, we have recently installed 4MBps air fibre enabling you to be in the bush, yet remain connected.

The outside braai area is the ideal spot to enjoy a sun downer and relax around the braai. Wildlife, including kudu, eland, zebra and giraffe, roam the farm freely and the nearby wetland is a good spot to look for a variety of bird life.

Explore the farm on foot or mountain bike, game drives are available on request.

Apart from the Forest cottage, there is a Rest Camp and another smaller cottage on the farm. The rest camp (max 8 people/no overlanders) is at a distance of 2.5 km from the cottage and the Syringa Sands Mountain Cottage for 2 is located about 5km from the Forest Cottage.

On site parking is available at the workshop which is attached to the back of the cottage. Please remember to bring firewood or briquettes and drinking water.

Quiet hideaway in the bush by

We had an amazing long weekend as a family at Syringa Sands game farm. The farm is situated amongst diverse landscape with open plains, forested areas, dams and rivers surrounded by picturesque mountains. Sean and Alex were hospitable, meeting us at the gate on our arrival and offering to take us on a game drive in the evening to orientate ourselves with their farm so we could explore it for the rest of the weekend. In their open top Land Rover we explored their pristine bushveld, sharing stories while coming across amazing sightings of some of the species of animals they have on their farm such as giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and eland. By the end of the drive, and for the rest of the weekend, we were made to feel like the farm was our own. The cottage is situated in a corner of their farm amongst the trees and backs onto the farm store room which you would never know was there. The cottage is clean and totally self-contained with a large patio and outside fire pit where we spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the bush sounds. At night around the fire we heard the Fiery Necked Nightjar, Pearl Spotted Owl and Scops Owl calling which entrenched the fact that we were in the bush. As a family we went on multiple walks and mountain bike rides but never once came across another house or person. We enjoy our birds and had some great sightings including Pied and Woodlands Kingfishers, European Beeaters, and what looked like an Osprey or Juvenile Fish Eagle with its full white front at their main dam. Their main dam entertained us for hours, as we tried our luck with the bass fishing and the kids played around the weir and jetty picking lilies. Overall it was a superb weekend, a huge thanks to the owners for giving us such an opportunity to explore and appreciate their bush farm.

Incredible! by

My dad and I decided to have a father-son getaway, as I am living in the USA and we don't see each other that much. Sean and his wife from Syringa Sands were incredible! Our stay was a real blessing! The house was very well equipped. The location was great and the hospitality was truly 5-star! I will recommend it to anyone who wants to get away to the bush!

Silence! by

Walking trails were lovely. So nice to bring our little dog along. Every thing excellent except just maybe a softer bed.

Off the beaten track wilderness experience by

We loved the privacy of this comfortable cottage in the forest. The walking trails were great with an abundance of game species. We spent a week at Syringa Sands - enough time to relax, get walking fit and take in a game drive in the closeby Marakele National Park.

The heart of the Waterberg by

The peace and quiet was absolutely amazing. Something I doubt you'll find anywhere else. Really enjoyed the stay. Thanks Sean and Alex!

What a find! by

Syringa Sands offers a comfortable stay in a great setting. We loved walking and riding bikes in the bush, and watching the game on our routes.The house is well equipped.

Couldn't have wished for a better breakaway by

Sean and Alex are incredibly welcoming and made our stay incredible. We had a magnificent late afternoon game drive and sundowners. The setting and wildlife here is incredible. We were able to enjoy our weekend to the fullest extent having our dogs with us and they had so much fun! Great catch and release fishing in the dam, wonderful walking routes and lots of fun on the district roads on my MTB. We are going to be back soon! The cottage is kitted out thoughfully with everything you could possibly need and is immaculately clean, this really feels like home from home.
