First look
Taj’s safari ambitions in South Africa go beyond the single property already operating. Alongside the now-open Taj Bush Lodge in the Greater Kruger area, IHCL has flagged two further wilderness lodges, taking the eventual count to three. It is an early signal of intent to build a real safari presence rather than a one-off.
Names, sizes and opening dates for the second and third lodges have not been confirmed, so this is the most speculative of Taj’s current pipeline. What we will be watching for is where exactly the new lodges land within the Greater Kruger reserves, how they differentiate from Taj Bush Lodge, and whether Taj can hold its own against South Africa’s deep bench of established safari operators. We have not stayed, so this is anticipation, not a verdict.
