About Us

My name is Alicia, and I help out in the kitchen at Bosveld Villa – a place that has given me the wonderful opportunity to learn the art of cooking from scratch.
Every day, I grow a little beyond myself and discover the joy of creating something special for our guests using fresh ingredients.
My favorite spot is on the deck near the wellness area – it's the perfect place to relax and watch the animals peacefully passing by.

​

If I could offer our guests a tip:
Start your day with our breakfast, enjoy the sunshine by the pool – and don’t miss the open-air safari. It’s definitely worth it!

I’m Elson – as the Groundskeeper, I make sure that the Bosveld Villa grounds remain in good condition: safe, functional, and in harmony with nature.
I take care of what often happens in the background – and that’s exactly why it’s so important.
What I love most are the quiet morning hours. When the birds greet the day, the season changes in colors and light, and the animals naturally find their way across the grounds.
If Bosveld Villa were a movie, I would be the quiet hero in the background – the guardian of the paths, reading the tracks, and ensuring everything runs smoothly without ever being in the spotlight.
My favorite spot is the pool – the gentle sound of the water, the open view of the landscape, the sky above. Here, you can feel how powerful stillness can be.
An unforgettable moment for me was at the pool with guests who were simply enjoying the peace. It was a quiet, shared understanding: Even though I mostly work in the background, my work has meaning.

​

My tip:
Take the time to truly arrive. Walk slowly, look closely, listen carefully – the more you open yourself to nature, the more it will reveal to you.

My name is Thulani, and I take care of the gardens and maintenance at Bosveld Villa – ensuring that everything remains as it should: well-kept, beautiful, and in harmony with nature.
My favorite spot is our elevated viewing deck. From there, I can see everything: the animals, the bush, sunrises, sunsets – simply the beauty of this place.
The moment I was welcomed into the team is unforgettable for me. I feel truly seen and valued here – a feeling I want to share with our guests.

​

My tip:
Take the time to consciously notice how close you are to nature here. Watch the animals through the window from your bed, while having breakfast on the veranda, or by the fire under the stars – they’re all around you.

I’m George – supporting Bosveld Villa with administration and guest experience.

With over 15 years in Southern African travel and tourism, I’ve been fortunate to explore some of the region’s most iconic natural treasures – from Namibia’s Etosha National Park to Botswana’s game reserves and South Africa’s Kruger National Park. These experiences allow me to help create safari journeys that truly stay with our guests.

My connection to Bosveld Villa began during a private wine tour in Cape Town, where I first met Susanne. What started as a meeting soon grew into a friendship – and later into our collaboration.

Working remotely from Johannesburg, I support our guests from the very first inquiry through to their farewell – ensuring their time with us is seamless, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

I am Susanne – co-founder of Bosveld Villa and a passionate host.
My love for South Africa began over 14 years ago, sparked by a fascination with its untouched nature, the wild animals, the vibrant colors of the bush, and the rich culture of this country. What started as a longing has now evolved into a true passion project with Bosveld Villa.
When I'm on-site, I focus on every detail – ensuring the well-being of our guests, managing the on-site organization, and making sure each stay is complete and unforgettable. What I find most fulfilling is sharing my experiences and favorite places, helping guests discover this beautiful country with open eyes and hearts.
My personal favorite spot is the pool and wellness area – a place of peace and serenity. When the animals pass by, the sun sets, and you're simply still, you feel how truly special this spot on earth is.
A moment I’ll never forget? A leopard's nighttime visit—and falling asleep to the distant sounds of lions and hyenas.

​

My tip for a perfect day:
Spend a day in the Kruger, open to whatever comes your way – and enjoy a sundowner by the Crocodile River in the evening. Often, that’s all you need.

I’m Gerald – responsible for everything that needs to be repaired, fixed, or improved.
With joy and craftsmanship, I keep our lodge in top condition – from the tropical garden to the last door handle.
My favorite spot is by the pool or on the viewing deck – relaxing, enjoying nature, and watching the sunset over the Kruger with a glass of wine. These are the moments that make this place so special.
An unforgettable moment for me was when I first entered Bosveld Villa with our niece – and knew, right then, that this was where we belong.

My tip:
Go on a safari in the Kruger – and end the day with a sundowner by the Crocodile River. Just enjoy.

I’m Udo – and although I don’t yet have a permanent role at Bosveld Villa, I’m deeply involved.
Whether as a quiet supporter, an observer with a camera, or a breakfast guest among the zebras – I especially enjoy the unique atmosphere of this place.
My favorite spot is the dining area – especially in the morning, when the animals pass by and you can just sit there with a coffee in hand.
If Bosveld Villa were a film, I would be the cameraman – always searching for the perfect angle, but never in the foreground.

​

What I would like to share with guests:
Take the time to truly unwind. The tranquility here has a powerful effect on you—if you let it.

I am Ute – often very quiet, but fully present with all my senses.
What I love about Bosveld Villa is the peace and quiet. The observation. The simple act of being. When I lie in my favorite spot—where the stairs to the rooftop terrace begin—surrounded by animals, but without them noticing me, those are some of the most precious moments for me.
This closeness to the animal world never stops touching me. It's not loud, it's not spectacular—it's simply there.

​

If I may offer something to our guests:
Let yourself be guided through the bush on foot, take a deep breath, and end the day by the river. That’s all you need.

I’m Jana – part of the team behind the scenes.
I’m fascinated by what happens when people from very different parts of the world come together in one place – a place that is not only beautiful but also meaningful. Bosveld Villa was intended to be exactly that kind of place: honest, open, mindful – surrounded by nature, life, and tranquility.
My favorite spot? The pool area with its view of the bush—best at sunrise, when everything is still quiet.
The moment I saw the villa for the first time is unforgettable for me. It was less a plan and more a feeling: This is pure magic.
Being part of this project with my family and our wonderful team is incredibly fulfilling for me – and I hope that this same feeling will reach our guests.

​

My tip:
Arrive. Breathe. And then simply observe what happens – in nature and within yourself.
