Bela Bela, Limpopo , Южная Африка

The best that mother nature has to offer is this hidden gem nestled in a valley of the Waterberg.
With the owners love of the surroundings and land, they poured their soul and heart into the development of their own “Valley Lodge”.

How does it sound to escape the crazy city life, to enjoy many sunsets / sundowners while watching the game walking past the Sundowners spot… to game drive through the valleys and across the mountain’s, realizing life is good…

500ha treated for bankrotbos and pluisiesbos. Fence growth has been treated with poison for last 3 years to prevent growth.
