ITS THE DESTINATION THAT COUNTS - LIMPOPO BIG 5 GAME RESERVE
The area north-west of Gauteng, fringing the Botswana border, has always been a remote, inacessible wilderness which attracts adventurers, and Limpopo, a vast, peaceful and incredibly beautiful province, is a fascinating area with a rich cultural legacy and natural splendour, and a Limpopo big 5 game reserve is a trademark of this bushveld area. The spectacular scenery of the region ranges from broad rolling hills to magnificent red sandstone cliffs - the abundance of iron and manganese gives these cliffs their distinctive red, orange and purple hues which glow in the setting sun - this is the place that is home to the Big Five once more.
Apart from the spectacular scenery of the mountains, there are many game sanctuaries, nature reserves and farms with accommodation. The Waterberg area is where you will find Welgevonden, a Limpopo Big 5 game reserve, incorporating many rivers, streams and swamps and mammal species, including big game such as elephant, lion, white and black rhino, hippo, leopard and buffalo and the African python.
A Limpopo big 5 game reserve is particularly appealing to those in need of finding a place to unwind, and Mhondoro Lodge, in the Welgevonden game reserve will certainly not disappoint, as this region remains untouched by the invasion of man, making it a wonderful place for the birdlover to indulge in his passion, with more than 400 different bird species. Each morning before sunrise and every evening, experienced game rangers and trackers at a Limpopo big 5 game reserve take guests out on a spectacular game drive to find the big five, but for those wanting a more riveting experience, a bush walk will provide wonderful colourful sightings of the birds close to their homes as well as a chance to discover the wonders of the lesser known creatures.
If you have ever wondered what peace and quiet actually looks like, then Mhondoro Lodge, with its leisurely pace is what you need for a welcome retreat.
