The Waterberg is South Africa's Eden. Tucked away in Limpopo province, the pristine, rugged and ancient Waterberg region has soaring mountain peaks, antediluvian rock formations, expansive savannah plains, dense riparian forests and plunging river valleys.

BruceK18I can't say enough about this fabulous Lodge. From the people to the food to the accommodations. Everything was excellent. Shawn, our guide was very, very knowledgeable and kept us busy with amazing game drives and Bush walks. We were greeted each morning by Tomas and Washington's smiling faces and fantastic service.
