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.
