Lion's Shelter is one of 11 chalets/cabins on Eingedi Retreat, which is a 2-star self-catering exclusive establishment, situated on a 530Ha game farm.

With a variety of self-catering accommodation options to choose from (we do provide meals on request) - ranging from camping/caravanning to backpacking, rustic log cabins to upmarket chalets - each unique in style and size, you are guaranteed to find one that suits you best.

Make full use of our facilities as you enjoy and explore this place with the swimming pools, braai/barbeque areas, picnic spots, Green Flag Hiking Trails, Game Drives, 4x4 trails and play ground.

You can hike, cycle or stroll through the mountains and plains and get really close with the fascinating wild animals. We have a variety of plains game for you to marvel at, including Zebra, Eland, Wildebeest, Blesbok, and Springbok among others. You might even spot our family of Llama! You can also book a game drive with our nature guide on our big 4x4 Unimog to have the full wildlife experience.

Children love our farm lifestyle and are welcome to join in as we milk our cow, Eliza, in the mornings and feed the geese mornings and evenings, find the woolly sheep and friendly ostrich, Dorcas, in the fields and coo at the baby chicks and ducklings.

Our summers are warm and vibrant and winters crisp with cosy nights and mild days. This makes it ideal for all year round visits, depending on whether you are coming to swim, hike, cycle, fish, do some birding or game viewing, or sit around a roaring fire with a cosy warm water bottle..

We offer an incredible buffet breakfast outside under the pavilion. Enjoy the delicious, healthy, homegrown, homemade spread in the beautiful garden setting - it really is an incredible meal experience!

We grow most of our own food with non-gmo heirloom seeds and no pesticides, and in harvest season the produce is plentiful! We often have more than we know what to do with and sell to our guests to eat and enjoy during their stay with us.

To keep the food through the winter months we have a lot of preserves coming out our busy kitchen, from sweet jams to savory chutneys and all sorts of pickled veggies. We've also begun selling our cheeses. So you can also buy and enjoy these healthy homemade items.

We run this facility on biblical principles, and our slogan is taken from John 8:37-38 "RIVERS OF LIVING WATER". Come and experience the wholesome living and peace that can be found here.

Guests have access to most of the property with the hiking trails, walks, game drives, cycling routes, and 4x4 trails that we offer.
