This Christmas, escape the ordinary.

At The Reserve, festive days unfold in cosy lodges, with seasonal dining, campfire moments and time together surrounded by nature.

Every stay at The Reserve is extraordinary - but we’ve created two festive packages to add even more wonder and make this magical season truly unforgettable.

Lakeside Lanterns & Light

With an overnight stay in one of our Lakeside Lodges with breakfast included, a 2-day zoo visitor pass and tickets to the spectacular Lanterns & Light trail, this package is perfect for couples, families or friends looking for a magical festive experience together this year. 

Lanterns Snow Leopard Puppet

Santa's Ultimate Festive Stay

Make this a Christmas to remember with a private visit from Santa and his cheeky elf to your luxury lodge. Includes a 2-day zoo pass, seasonal campfire stories and breakfast included.

Welcome in 2026 at The Reserve

Join us this New Year's Eve. Begin your evening with complimentary canapés and Champagne on arrival before indulging in our delicious festive menu, accompanied by our live pianist.

After dinner, little ones can delight in the magic of a silent disco in the Tsavo Lounge, giving grown-ups a moment to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

As the clock nears midnight, gather together and raise a glass of complimentary Champagne as we welcome the New Year in style.
