Vast, remote and serene, Lepogo Lodges are situated within the Lapalala Game Reserve and lie on the banks of the Palala River in the malaria-free Waterberg region of Limpopo province in South Africa.
Encompassing 50,000 hectares of breathtaking natural beauty, the vision is to continue to protect and conserve biodiversity, uplift its neighboring communities and create a responsible and sustainable model to secure its conservation status into the future. From crystal clear rock pools to wide open plains, this is an area rich in wildlife and largely untouched by man.
Lodge facilities include a variety of enticing dining areas, a wine cellar, a secluded look-out deck, a tree-top gym, a yoga deck and pampering spa treatments. A non-for-profit venture, Lepogo Lodges are one of the few lodges globally bestowing 100% of any financial gains into the reserve.
