Lake Chahafi Resort

The accommodations at Lake Chahafi Resort are comfortable and intimate. With only 9 cabins guests can enjoy the peace and quiet of their stunning surroundings while drifting off to sleep, or waking with the sunrise. The cabins come in twin, double, or triple configurations, and all include cosy beds covered in crisp white bed linens and plush pillows, and are draped in mosquito netting so guests can enjoy a bug-free night’s sleep. Polished wooden floors and wooden furniture created unity throughout the room, and the cabins are filled with bright natural light. All cabins also come complete with their own ensuite bathrooms.

Guests can head to the main dining area of Lake Chahafi Resort for mealtimes. A full English is served in the mornings with refreshing juices and warming hot drinks. In the evenings, a four-course meal is served; a starter, soup course, main, and dessert. Meat and vegetarian options are offered, and guests can enjoy their meal from the privacy of their own balconies, under the stars in the garden, by the lake at sunset, or in the heart of the bush.

A 3 to 4-hour excursion around the stunning scenery of Lake Chahafi can be arranged for guests. Starting on a boat the trail which covers the northern part of the lake, you will be able to look into the glistening waters and see fish or look to the banks and watch the wading birds waiting for a lucky catch. The trail will take you past a historical WW1 site, which still has trenches visible, and through villages and communities where you will have the chance to visit a local school and find out about the rural life here.

Tours can be arranged in the morning, where you will witness the sun rising over the glistening lake, or in the afternoon, where you can witness the sunset over the bushveld.

With a trained and friendly guide begin your canoeing tour from the banks of the lake. For 3 to4 hours glide along the river, keeping your eyes on the banks for colourful reed frogs, flitting dragonflies, and wading birds. Surrounding the lake are mountains and hills which you can truly take in while slowly journeying along the river. These canoeing excursions are available for guests in the afternoon.

Lake Chahafi is locally owned and run, and has partnered with a local philanthropist and Chahafi native to help support the local community. Donations of scholastic materials for the local schools from guests are welcomed.
