Guests were treated to a special Full Moon dinner at Big Cave Camp this last weekend.

This special dinner, enjoyed a specially prepared menu as well that started off with mushroom vol-e-vants, followed by a traditional braai (barbeque) that included delicious BBQ pork chops, rib eye steak, borewors, potatoes and onions in foil roasted in the fire. And what braai would be complete without sadza and gravy (traditionally prepared meilie pap), as well as the accompanying salads.

Guests enjoyed mini pavlovas with cream, strawberries and a mixed berry sauce under the light of the full moon.

The champagne was popped to celebrate such a special evening!

The chilly evening did not worry the guests too much, and a large fire was lit to help keep everyone warm and to create a wonderful ambience on top of Leopards rock.

Guests commented how amazing and wonderful the evening was.

On return to the lodge, guests were treated to a hot toddy before retiring onto bed.

All in all it was a night to remember!

Mountain biking is one of the fastest growing sports globally and South Africa leads this trend. Big Cave is an ideal environment to mountain bike in. It is pristine and without many bikers, allowing for some of the best single track mountain biking in the world.

Riding on the granite is an experience not many have had the opportunity to do. It is not uncommon to ride for four or five kilometers on the granite, surrounded by spectacular scenery. Dave Waddy, owner of Big Cave grew up in these hills and is a perfect mountain biking guide. His enthusiasm for the sport has taken him off many beaten tracks and he leads trail rides from Big Cave. Typically set departures with groups spending 5 nights at the camp. Dave then tailor makes the rides to suit fitness levels of the cyclists.

Big Cave Camp , Matobo Hills "The Lodge on the Rocks" takes some time to shine a light on the little creatures in their national park which keep the eco system intact. Especially the hyraxes!
They’re often overlooked, especially in Africa where there are so many distractingly magnificent big beasts.

This amazing Pangolin was released on the Big Cave property by Kevin Wilson. We were so excited about it, as have only ever seen one on the property previously, although we have always known they are around!
