Best Vryburg Guest Houses, & Worst

What’s remarkable is that the Leon Taljaard Nature Reserve, now a wildlife haven, has a gatehouse that was originally a Boer War prison used to hold Afrikaner prisoners. The juxtaposition of this dark historical site with a modern-day nature reserve is a striking contrast that captures Vryburg’s complex past. If you are interesting in exploring this; the Game View Lodge is situated in Vryburg, bordering the reserve. The lodge provides 10 luxury en-suite rooms, some with balconies overlooking the reserve, along with amenities like a splash pool and boma for braais. Guests love the stunning wildlife views next to Leon Taljaard Nature Reserve, with one reviewer noting being "welcomed by a herd of Eland". The Game View Lodge is praised for its friendly hosts, Theo and Tersia. Secure parking, great breakfasts, and a tranquil vibe make it a top choice. Rare complaints include minor noise or check-in issues. Highly recommended for value and location. Expect to pay a bit more.
