MOGALAKWENA RIVER LODGE
Mapungubwe, Limpopo |
| The Limpopo River Valley and the far northern province
of South Africa is a vast and untapped ecotourism region. It
has all the potential to develop this into one of the best
safari regions in southern Africa. Mogalakwena is an example
of progressive conservation endeavour. The reserve currently
has two parts to it, a riverine property on the Mogalakwena
River, which runs through the property, as well as a
mountain reserve, which has to have some of the more
magnificent view sites in the far north. |
| The lodge can accommodate up to 16 guests in eight
suites, all facing onto the Mogalakwena River. Each suite
has been decorated using the natural tones so prevalent in
the bushveld. The central lodge has four of the suites, a
central fire, boma and outdoor kitchen area as well as
having the bar and two dining and relaxation areas. The
decks and swimming pool are ideal for relaxing and viewing
some of the spectacular birdlife on the river. |
| The lodge offers game drives and walking safaris on both
the river as well as the mountain properties. It is well
worth a visit to the top of the mountain, to sit and relax
and take in some unique vegetation, including the ‘elephants
foot’ and the many baobabs on the reserve. |
| Mogalakwena is great for weekend getaways and small
conferences. The experience is warm and friendly and
superbly managed. |
