All this combines to create an out-of-city experience where guests can feel at home and utilise all our amenities & activities without any limits.

On our Game Ranch guests will be lost in the untouched beauty of the African Wilderness where a multitude of activities & adventures await. Right next door on our Lifestyle Farm is where most of what you consume come from, but also the place where guests are allowed to participate in farming activities & experience this life as their own.
We invite you to join so many others in reconnecting with yourself, your family and the life you are meant to live. Experience what true freedom feels like at Africa's most authentic hideaway to date.
The Lodge
Our secure lodge area is where your experience will start. Here you will find the majority of your always available amenities, plenty of fun activities, accommodations, the Boma & Lapa, Wellness Centre, and the office. From here you can embark out onto our Ranch for some game viewing or fishing, or you may choose to head on down to our sustainable Lifestyle Farm where we grow most of what you eat and offer fun interactive opportunities for the whole family.
Lodge AmenitiesLife on the Ranch
For those who visit the African Bushveld, there has always been one particular need that no destination on the continent could satisfy. Berchtesgaden caters for those who wish to experience more than beautiful views, luxurious accommodations & great food. We offer all this & so much more. We have created a destination where, finally, you can experience Africa as your very own. Our Ranch is thus available, and we have designed activities in such a manner that our guests have exclusive access to that lifestyle. When you visit Berchtesgaden, you are visiting your second home tucked away in the heart of the Waterberg.
Ranch ActivitiesLife on the Farm
Farming is in the blood of so many of us. Even those who have no interest in agriculture as an occupation have wondered what this lifestyle is all about. We have created great experiences on our sustainable Lifestyle Farm, where guests can interact with, and enjoy various farming activities. From collecting eggs or shaving a sheep to making your very own Biltong - it is here where hours can feel like minutes!
