About Us

Utopia has been a household name in the Magaliesberg for more than  25 years and many visitors, who re-visit Utopia, frequently recall their wonderful memories of adventure and excitement during their younger years while visiting the resort.

Efforts to upgrade the reserve are continually underway and our  main complex with lapa, and sporting and leisure facilities offers a great relaxing break-away or holiday away from the fast lane.

Please note that Utopia is neither a pleasure/holiday resort nor a lodge, it is a Nature Reserve. You might see snakes, spiders and scorpions as well as smaller mammals. There is a great variety of birds – no less than 100 species have been identified.

If you are looking for accommodation such as a private lodge with aircon and game drives; OR a place to party -  then please look elsewhere – we do not offer that at Utopia and we would hate to disappoint you.

Please note that none of the chalets have electricity. The fridge, stove and geyser are all powered by LP Gas
