Welcome to Savannah Game and River Retreat Wedding and Conference venue. We are situated in the Free State just outside Parys – nestled in the Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site. Our property borders 8 km of the Vaal River, and we are home to 25 mammal species which include buffalo, giraffe, sable, zebra, and kudu, to name but a few. Accommodation comprises Lodge Rooms, Tented Chalets, a romantic Bush Room for honeymooners, and Rondavel accommodation. Each option features a private en-suite bathroom and contains amenities such as tea/coffee facilities, and a sitting area; some options contain a wall heater and electric blankets in winter. A hearty breakfast is available on request, and a menu is available for lunch and dinner. The lodge boasts a giant chess board, a swimming pool and a splash pool, a pool table and a dartboard. Braai areas (service fee would apply) can be arranged for guests, and guests are more than welcome to bring their own braai meat, charcoal, fire lighter and salads. We will keep your food cold in our fridges. Cutlery and Crockery will be provided.

It was great service and easy back and forth communication.
Nice environment, nice and quiet!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Savannah, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The whole stay was so relaxing and tranquil. We will definitely visit them again
My husband, myself and our son visited this gorgeous place. We stayed in one of their newly renovated luxury tents and it was wonderful. The tent was very spacious even with our little ones cot that the Savannah staff kindly provided for us. Felt as though we were camping in luxury with the most comfortable bed with a divine shower. With the tented ceiling and walls, it was a pleasure to hear all the animals and creatures throughout the night but we were cozy and safe.
The tents are overlooking a dam that the animals come to drink at often that we watched from our private deck.
We went on a game drive and our guide was so wonderful. He was very friendly and taught us so many interesting facts that we had never heard before. We could get so close to the buffalos, it was surreal. You could tell the animals were calm and at ease, and it was very very enjoyable.
The food that we had for lunch on Saturday was delicious. My husband had the oxtail stew and I had the beef lasagne for lunch. The salads were fresh and the food was full of flavour.
We loved the self catering option and on the Saturday night we used their wonderful braai facilities. It was such a special experience to have a braai in the open bushveld.
The breakfast was eggs, bacon, toast, fried tomato and sausage. We were offered mushrooms too, but my husband and I declined.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and never too far if we needed anything, but not hovering or in our faces.
You can tell that they have recently renovated and upgraded a lot of their facilities as they look brand new. The Boma area looks as though it has just been painted and was so clean.
The road to the lodge is a dirt road that is well travelled, but definitely fine as we drove with a VW Polo and had no issues. To anyone that is expecting to find a game farm at the end of a tar road, I think you’re a bit misconceived about what a game farm is and should probably stick to a hotel.
Overall, it was a truly relaxing and wonderful experience. We will definitely be back and cannot wait to be at Savannah again
What a lovely hidden Gem. While the men where fishing the girls went for a Spa treatment. The rooms were great and clean. To walk in nature away from the city after lock down was a great experience. There is buffalo, giraffe, sable - a wide variety of wild life. Had sundowners at their beautiful wedding venue. Watched the fish eagles. Looking a good getaway. Try Savannah good open spaces.
Nice place for the weekend brakeaway
The place was so beautiful.
We had a lovely weekend. I would recommend this resort to anyone that feels like a get away in the bushes. The Luxury Tents are indeed luxurious. The place was supper clean and the staff adorable.
Colleen is an amazing Host. The Game drive was also great. Jimmy the driver is a lovely person to be around, so pationate about his work.
We also had an opportunity to see their wedding venue which overlooks the Vaal River, AMAZING, is all i can say.
The staff were so friendly. Endless activities such as fishing, nature trails along the river. Afternoon Sunset game drives
The place is beautiful and peaceful.
It was a really nice relaxing experience.

Loved the quaint town and the tranquility of the area. Great accommodation options for a week-end break-away.
The Scenery so beautiful, and the breeze.
Did not spend any time in Parys town.
Many choices of resorts.
Very unique town and friendly.
