One Last Taste of High Season Splendour
As the golden days of high season draw to a close, a rare opportunity remains. October marks the final chapter of the region’s prime safari season, offering one last chance this year to experience the African bush at its most captivating—and we still have limited availability for those who act quickly.
At Fifty-Five Mjejane Game Lodge, October is a month of quiet drama. The bushveld is dry and open, making wildlife sightings even more spectacular. Herds gather near the Crocodile River, predators are more active, and each day is painted in warm, glowing light. It’s a time when nature puts on a show—and our lodge offers a front-row seat.
Why October is the Safari Connoisseur’s Choice
October marks the tail end of the dry season, when game viewing is at its most rewarding. With sparse vegetation and limited water sources, animals are easier to spot as they gather around rivers, waterholes, and open plains. Predator activity tends to increase, and sightings of the Big Five are more frequent.
This is a time favored by experienced safari-goers—not just for the density of wildlife, but for the clarity of the landscapes, the golden light perfect for photography, and the quieter atmosphere as the peak-season crowds begin to thin. For those who appreciate wildlife encounters in their most authentic and unobstructed form, October stands out as one of the most desirable months to be in the bush.
A Luxury Escape, Just in Time
Whether you’ve been dreaming of a spontaneous safari escape or seeking the perfect luxury retreat to close out the year, this is the moment to act. October availability at Fifty-Five Mjejane is limited, and once it’s gone, the high season won’t return until next year.
Each suite at our lodge offers private, uninterrupted views of the wilderness, with refined finishes, five-star service, and a tranquil setting that feels worlds away—yet is easily accessible.
Make This October Unforgettable
There’s still time to experience the rhythm of the bush, the glow of African sunsets, and the thrill of the wild—all from the comfort of a luxury lodge immersed in nature. October offers that rare combination of prime game viewing and serene exclusivity, making it a truly special time to visit. Let this be the moment you escape, unwind, and reconnect with the wild.
