LIMPOPO LODGES IN SOUTH AFRICA

The exclusive and luxurious Mhondoro Game Lodge is situated in the malaria free Welgevonden Private Game Reserve a scenic 3 hour drive from Johannesburg or 1 hour flight from Lanseria Airport.

Welgevonden Private Game Reserve is a conservation area consisting of 42 000 hectares of unspoiled African bush featuring rocky outcrops and open game rich plains of savannah crisscrossed by rivers meandering their way through dense vegetation to the mighty Limpopo.

Upon arrival at the Welgevonden main gate, visitors to Mhondoro Game Lodge will receive cool refreshments and then transfer by open safari vehicle to the Lodge.

The Mhondoro Game Lodge overlooks a popular waterhole and features a large
viewing sundeck where guests can view game or relax in the sun. The refreshing swimming pool provides a welcome respite from the
heat of the day.

The central dining room, bar, outdoor boma and gym are all situated in or around the
main lodge and are easily accessible from the chalets. An entertainment centre which also serves as an exclusive venue for small corporate retreats is situated nearby, as well as a well stocked library.
Accommodation

At Mhondoro luxuriously appointed private game lodge chalets are located along the ridge overlooking the waterhole, adjacent plains and distant Waterberg mountains. Each luxurious chalet has its own elegant style and décor and features large double sliding doors leading onto a private viewing sundeck. The en-suite bathrooms have a choice of indoor shower, hippo sized bath or a secluded outdoor shower for a sensual "out of Africa experience".
