Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified reviewvery good

We loved being isolated on the top of the hills. A little difficult road to arrive but really worth the trip. Very friendly staff . We did it all walking with the elephant, bird walk and drive in the property and we enjoyed everything. Thanks to the very nice staff
