Kedar Heritage Lodge Conference Centre and Spa

Some 20 years ago, Recreation Africa purchased a portion of Boekenhoutfontein, the historic farm of President Paul Kruger. Over the years, adjoining land has been acquired, culminating in the consolidation of an area of some 700 acres, which has been game fenced and populated with a wide variety of game, including eland, blesbok, impala, bushbuck, nyala, kudu, zebra, blue wildebeest and giraffe. Invaluable environmental work has been undertaking to restore the wetlands and to remove alien vegetation.Prolific bird life has in turn been attracted.

President Paul Krugers farm, Boekenhoutfontein, and the historic buildings, were declared a National Monument in 1971. Kedar acquired the property, in partnership with the President Kruger Trust, and the land around the museum has been incorporated into Kedars game farm. The main Kruger House is a museum showcasing a wide range of Kruger memorabilia and other items of historical interest.

Other facilities include an outstanding restaurant with many Boer War memorabilia, a large swimming pool and game drives.

In the evenings the Heroes bar allows guests to partake of sun downers while watching the sunset over the natural bush.

All this, just one and a half hours drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, and only 20 minutes from Sun City and the Pilanesburg Game Reserve - home of the Big Five.
