Shared Amenities
Enjoy a variety of spaces and facilities designed for all our guests to relax, socialise, and make the most of their stay.
Unwind and connect in spaces created for every guest to enjoy. At Hammer Safaris, our shared facilities are designed to enhance your stay, whether you’re seeking quiet relaxation or lively moments with friends and family. Take a refreshing dip in the shimmering swimming pool, gather around the warm and welcoming Lapa, or simply pause to take in the peaceful views over the dam. Stroll across the beautiful green lawns, or explore the reserve at your own pace. Every space is thoughtfully maintained to provide comfort, leisure, and the perfect backdrop to the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Swimming Pool Area
The Klein Karoo’s sunny climate and clear skies make our swimming pool a year-round delight. After an adventurous game drive, ease into the inviting warmth of the water, perfect for both relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests can unwind on a poolside lounger with a drink in hand, enjoy the surrounding views of the reserve, or share stories with fellow travellers in a calm, welcoming setting. Whether you’re taking a soothing swim, resting in comfort, or soaking up the tranquil atmosphere, the pool area offers the ideal blend of relaxation and the natural beauty of the African outdoors.
Lapa Area
The Lapa is the heart of social life at Hammer Safaris, offering a warm and inviting space for family and friends. After an adventurous day in the veld, gather here to share stories, enjoy a hearty breakfast, or sip on refreshing drinks as the sun sets. At the Fire pit the crackling fire adds a cosy touch, creating the perfect backdrop for laughter, conversation, and memorable moments. Whether relaxing after a day of exploration or enjoying a casual snack with fellow guests, the Lapa combines comfort, charm, and the magic of the African outdoors. Guests can indulge in freshly poured draught beer in the lapa, with a barrel prepared on request.
Please note: The Lapa is reserved exclusively for Half-Board guests.
Trophy & Snooker Room
Here you can showcase your snooker skills or just relax with a glass of wine or beer, surrounded by
taxidermied African animals while overlooking the Klein Karoo.
Sundowner Moments
As the African sun begins its slow descent over the vast Klein Karoo landscape, there’s no better way to end the day than with a sundowner in hand. Our reserve offers the perfect vantage points to pause, reflect, and soak in nature’s evening performance — the golden glow across the plains, the silhouettes of wildlife moving gracefully in the distance, and the tranquil sounds of the bush coming alive at dusk. Share this special time with loved ones or fellow travellers, raise a glass to the beauty surrounding you, and let the magic of the African sunset become a memory you’ll carry forever.
