Legend Lodges, Hotels & Resorts Information

Legend Lodges, Hotels & Resorts, a privately owned hospitality group, was established in 1999 by Peet and Mart Cilliers and Roy Tucker with the aim of introducing South Africans and international business and leisure tourists to the country’s numerous, diverse attractions. The Legend portfolio encompasses the rich diversity of Southern Africa: its people, culture, nature and breathtaking scenery. In keeping with the vision of diversity of product, this dynamic company features Resorts, Game & Safari Lodges, Country Lodges, Coastal Hotels & Lodges and Cultural Village and Shebeens in six of South Africa’s nine provinces and in Mozambique. The Group’s properties are renowned for their stunning locations and the fact that they make the most of what the natural environment has to offer. Building on its ethos of diversity and making the most of South Africa’s attractions, the company endeavours to extract the spirit of Africa from the surroundings and imprint it on everything offered thereby developing activities and unique selling points around the beauty of the area. Properties within the portfolio offer leisure and corporate stays, incentive packages, conferencing, wedding venues and honeymoon destinations. Specialised sales teams for these various market segments are highly motivated and offer a full sales and marketing function for all properties. They sell a dream, create an expectation and a desire to experience Southern Africa – the sunshine, the glorious sunsets, the rugged landscapes and the beauty of animals in their natural environment and help to create an arrival to remember and a departure that is filled with the hope of a return. Dedicated Portfolio Supervisors and Reservations Consultants operate on a 24 hour turn-around time for bookings and enquiries received by the Central Reservations Office located at the Head Office in Pretoria.
