20 Jun Waterberg Lodge (Malaria-Free Accommodation)
Experience the Waterberg from Malaria-Free Accommodation in a Luxury Lodge Despite the concerns that many of us tend to harbour regarding the dangers of creatures such as poisonous snakes, lions, elephants, hippos, rhinos and great white sharks, the tiny mosquito is thought to be responsible for many more human deaths each year than all of these fearsome creatures put together. This has meant that some are unwilling to take a holiday in the bush at all, whilst many others do so but dose themselves with prophylactic medications designed, at least, to limit the risk posed by the bite of an infected, female anopheles mosquito.
16 May Wildlife Accommodation
Experience South African Wildlife and Enjoy Exceptional Bushveld Accommodation The image of a safari party sweltering in the heat of the sun, plagued by swarms of biting insects and at night, taking turns to watch for predators between fitful naps under the stars, may seem romantic, but it is not an experience that most of today’s wildlife enthusiasts are keen to share.

16 May Luxury Bushveld Lodge
A Luxury Lodge in the Heart of the Limpopo Bushveld The lure of the bushveld is hard to resist and, over the years, it has become the destination of choice for many South Africans, and a visit to a game lodge has become pretty much mandatory for the average overseas visitor.

With the entire country experiencing drought, I am happy to report that we have had some recent rainfall which in turn makes the gorge next to the lodge a beautiful sight; the flow of the stream next to our fig tree deck provides a place...

07 Mar Luxury Accommodation
Where to Enjoy Some Luxurious Accommodation in the Limpopo Bushveld Both South Africans and visitors to our country have long been attracted to the bushveld and to the exceptionally extensive and varied collection of flora and fauna that it supports. One of the most prolific of these regions is to be found in Limpopo. Traversed by the tropic of Capricorn, this is the northernmost of South Africa’s nine provinces. Surrounded by the North West, Gauteng and Mpumalanga in the west, south and east respectively, it also shares international borders with three other sub-Saharan countries to the north – namely, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
