What better way to start the day than to be welcomed by nature in abundance.
Buffalo, warthog, terrapins sunning themselves on a rock even a hippo wallowing in the water, it felt as if they were waiting for us to arrive so that they could show themselves off.
Arriving at Karkloof Safari Spa one is struck by the abundance of water, spas are synonymous with the sound of running water and there is no shortage of water in this paradise. Kenny, our driver delivered us into the most welcoming hands of the Karkloof Safari Spa staff and drove off with the promise of showing us more of the game life a little later.
Choosing treatments from the Spa menu was a little like ordering from a restaurant menu, everything sounds amazing, making it difficult to make one selection. In the back of my mind I was already plotting my next visit!
I have to say there is zero chance of disappointment here. No matter what you choose you are guaranteed to leave feeling pampered moisturised and ready to take on the world.
The gentle natured Thai therapist was much stronger than her appearance suggested and her expertise out of this world. The products used in the spa are fresh and made at the Karkloof Spa, they smelt so good I was tempted to taste. And tell me - where else can you watch the Nyala nibbling grass outside your window while having your feet massaged?
The silence at Karkloof Safari Spa is complete, so very little disturbs the meanderings of your mind except perhaps the bird calls and the wind dancing in the trees outside.
Karkloof Safari Spa has a new owner who wants to make the safari spa experience accessible to all South Africans. The everyday person should be allowed to enjoy the beauty here, not only overseas visitors. Day trips are available to the Karkloof Safari Park which makes it a destination for a whole family outing. Everyone will want to have lunch on the deck while watching the game wander past.
Family picnics can be arranged as well as corporate functions.
Day Spa packages are now available to those who want a special treat with a partner, alone or with a group of friends.
The opportunities are endless.
