Yes. Bayethe sits in the Eastern Cape, which is a malaria-free region, and that is one of the main reasons families and travellers who would rather skip prophylactics choose it. The lodge is tented, tucked into dense vegetation that gives each unit privacy and a sense of seclusion with views over the bush.

What does the name Bayethe mean?

It comes from an African greeting, pronounced By-ye-ti, which translates as I salute you and is one of the warmest welcomes used in this part of the country. The camp lives up to it with in and outdoor dining, a lounge, and an outdoor deck with a swimming pool.

Can we work from the lodge if we need to?

There is a business desk with internet access, and Wi-Fi is available at the main building and office rather than throughout the camp, so plan on stepping out of your tent to catch up.
