Our dynamic team of chefs is responsible for the exquisite cuisine which is essentially "moderne" with an emphasis on fresh ingredients.

We take full advantage of the fresh produce in season, combined with our home-grown herbs, vegetables and the farm's 4000 avocado, 600 litchi and 300 coffee trees.

Only fresh fish is served. Ostrich, guinea-fowl and venison are but a few of the items on the menu. Our pastas and breads are all freshly made on a daily basis.

Additionally, guests can enjoy hot, freshly baked muffins on their early morning tea trays. As with all aspects of the Lodge, the intention is to entertain our guests with our cuisine.

Perfection is achieved for the palate and the eye by combining opposing textures and tastes arranged in a pleasing composition. A five-course "table d'ote" menu is served, varying daily. Special care is taken to ensure that all menus cater for the needs of our guests.

Beautiful walking routes are available on the two hundred hectares of indigenous bush, forestry and farmland but further walking trails are found within short driving distances along the Panorama Route.

Additional Safari Options: Receiving much acclaim for the exclusive and luxurious lodges that grace its land, the Sabi Sands Nature reserve lies adjacent to the Kruger National Park.

Through friendly relations, Blue Mountain Lodge has been granted the privilege to offer her guests the wonderful opportunity of embarking on a safari at selected game lodges within the boundaries of the Sabi Sands Reserve.

Optimising Africa's magic; the ever changing landscapes and rhythms; the clear light of dawn, the subtle pastel colours in the late afternoon, the eerie laugh of the hyena in the dead of night, the Sabi Sands Reserve also boasts the ever flowing Sabie River, ruled by the crusty hippopotamus, her quiet reaches patrolled by crocodiles.

Out in the bush in an open landrover one can still observe at close quarters the natural relationship between predator and prey. Big game abounds and roams freely throughout this pristine part of our ancient African continent. The sight of a lion, elephant, rhino or leopard roaming free in the bush is so stirring , the tension one feels when following spoor on foot so electrifying. It is an experience that will awaken something deep in one's soul.

However, as these lodges offer exclusivity to their own guests, safaris can only be confirmed with 24 hours standby notice.
