Safari serenity weekend: A nature escape for urbanites

Share

Imagine a lavish staycation with your significant other, tucked away in the vibrant centre of Sandton. Perfect for city dwellers who cherish the wilderness, the Safari Serenity weekend at The Maslow offers an exceptional experience. Although Sandton CBD lacks game reserves, don’t worry. The Maslow has everything planned, including a day trip to the Bothongo Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve, bringing the excitement of the wild right to your doorstep.

After a refreshing night’s rest in the four-star hotel (don’t forget to select your preferred pillow from the pillow menu), feast on the renowned breakfast buffet at Lacuna Bistro. The spread of seasonal fruit, pastries, freshly baked seed loaf, cereals, dried fruit compote, salmon, charcuterie and cheese platters with fruit smoothies to start, followed by a hot selection of streaky bacon, hash browns, sausages, poached haddock, grilled tomatoes, roasted button mushrooms, omelettes and more, will ensure you are fully-fuelled for the safari adventure that awaits.

Within one hour of departing The Maslow, your shuttle will arrive at Bothongo Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve in Krugersdorp. Get your animal spotting eye tuned in during a two-hour guided game drive, where besides rhinos and lions, you can spot endangered species such as cheetahs, African Wild Dogs, Clouded Leopards, Black Jaguars and Pygmy hippos, and a range of plains game.

Keep hunger pangs at bay with a complimentary snack pack of water, juice, a chicken and mayo sarmie (vegetarian is available too), dried fruit and nuts to keep you energised during your wildlife adventure.

Once you have absorbed all nature has to offer and regained a sense of harmony with the world, you will be returned to The Maslow Sandton having created ample memorable moments.
