Timeless — the word that epitomises NAKO Safari Lodge; a luxury retreat nestled in the northern-most part of the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve, an exclusive escape away from the city. NAKO creates space to simply take time… time to renew your natural spirit, your mind, invest in your relationships, your business, or to spend it with your precious family. As inevitable as the yearly migration of flocks of birds to warmer pastures, so too will the memories captured here be — timeless.

Our name, NAKO, is derived from the Tswana word for time, a precious commodity in today’s fast-paced world. It represents the importance of spending meaningful moments in nature, with family and friends, business colleagues, or simply immersing yourself in our breath-taking environment and the magnificent wildlife among us. Perfectly aligned with our values, NAKO Safari Lodge is located just one hour from Johannesburg, 45 minutes from OR Tambo International Airport and 30 minutes from Pretoria, allowing our guests to truly maximise their time in nature.
