WATERBERG LEOPARD LODGE
Thabazimbi, Limpopo
Waterberg Leopard Lodge is beautifully located in the heart of the Unesco Waterberg Biosphere – the only savannah biosphere reserve in southern Africa, featuring a mix of rock formations formed over millions of years, significant Bushmen rock-art sites and abundant bushveld plains that in turn support a diverse array of fauna and flora. As you stroll through the tamboti, stinkwood and marula trees on the 70-hectare estate, you’ll encounter some of the 100 wild animals – including sable, zebra, giraffe, kudu, wildebeest, blesbok, impala and more – that roam freely. All of this makes Waterberg Leopard Lodge the perfect place in which to savour the restorative and profoundly relaxing effect of being immersed in nature. Whether it’s melodic birdsong at sunset, the visceral call of lions from Marakele across the valley during the night or the silence that precedes dawn, this is a place in which to rediscover your sense of awe and wonder.
But this isn’t your average safari lodge; this is a place where you can connect with the wilderness on your own terms and dictate your own pace of life. Each of the seven homes is designed to maximise its glorious surroundings, but – arguably more important – to offer seclusion and every home comfort, so that guests can have their very own hideaway in the wilderness. It’s up to them to move through the day exactly as they desire. The kitchens are superbly equipped, so cooking is a pleasure – but in-house chefs can cater every meal if preferred.
Every one of the dwellings is gorgeous and unique – both in architecture and design, and in its carefully selected location on the estate and astonishing views. “This makes Waterberg Leopard Lodge very special. A lot of our guests return time and again to try each dwelling, as each is so different and in its own exceptional place with fantastic views and different things to enjoy,” explains the seller. “I simply can’t choose a favourite; they all have their unique vibe. When it’s just us, I love The Blogck. But when I have my family over, I love to stay at The Manor House with its big pool – entertaining here is so fabulous. And for that special celebration, Ebony and Ivory ecopods are exceptional.”
