Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge | Soutpansberg Mountain Range

Madi a Thavha, meaning “water from the mountains”, is set in a beautiful and quiet valley of the Soutpansberg Mountains of Northern Limpopo, only 10 km drive from the centre of Louis Trichardt (Makhado).

Enjoying the stylish and bright accommodations, excellent food, and the warm hospitality and supportive attitude of the Madi a Thavha staff will make your stay a remindable experience. At Madi a Thavha you find everything that the area has to offer: an exhibition of the art and crafts of the Venda and Tsonga artists, numerous bird species, walking routes, and the workshop of Madi a Thavha Design.

The lodge is an excellent base to spend a few days to explore the Venda and Tsonga culture, myths and legends and to discover unspoiled nature of the Soutpansberg and Limpopo valley. Madi a Thavha is a nice stop over when travelling to the Kruger National Park, Mapungubwe, the bush camps at Tuli Block in Botswana or the Victoria falls in Zimbabwe.

Africa on Foot Camp | Klaserie Private Game Reserve

Africa on Foot offers professional Big Five walking safaris in the Kruger's Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. The focus is on an authentic safari experience where guests enjoy a combination of walking safaris in the mornings and game drives in the afternoons.

There are only 5 chalets, which means guests will enjoy an intimate, personalised safari experience. The more adventurous guests have the opportunity of sleeping under the stars in a treehouse structure at an extra cost. There are two family chalets available, each sleeping 4 people.

Evenings are spent around the campfire and there is often a traditional braai (barbecue) dining experience. The atmosphere at camp is relaxed and guests are made to feel like they are part of the Africa on Foot family. Two swimming pools adorn the property - one is located inside the camp, which is ideal for families. The other swimming pool is adjacent to the treehouse, a few steps outside of the entrance to camp.

The Klaserie shares unfenced borders with the Kruger, which means wildlife roams freely throughout the reserves.

Summerfields Rose Retreat & Spa | Hazyview

Summerfields is a family-owned & managed agri-tourism business in Hazyview, Mpumalanga, close to the famous Kruger National Park and the magnificent Blyde River Canyon. The owners have integrated farming of macadamia nuts, litchis and passion fruit with the natural beauty of the Sabie River Valley, and created a small boutique lodge, spa and restaurants with the aim of providing the ultimate romantic getaway experience to guests that represents excellent value for money.

Summerfields is more than a convenient springboard to big five game viewing or a daytrip around the Panorama route with its waterfalls, escarpment views and historic sites such as Pilgrims Rest. It is a place to rest, recover and rejuvenate your senses.

Summerfields is a food destination with top Cape Town chefs in attendance – magnificent breakfast spreads, tapas for lazy lunches on the Sabie River, and beautifully crafted fine dinners in a romantic setting in the Kitchen. Service is first world, with internationally trained sommeliers and a speciality wine list.

The spa at Summerfields is unlike any other – adorned with roses, and making use of natural products, such as macadamia oils, avo facials and banana wraps in open-air pavilions where birdsong and the sounds of nature are the background music.

We are temporarily only serving breakfast from 08h00 - 12h00.
