Loadshedding Proof
H12 Leshiba is a Limpopo game lodge providing a wildlife experience for tourists visiting Soutpansberg.
For a magical African experience, visit H12 Leshiba, which stretches along the top of the western Soutpansberg Mountains in the Limpopo province of South Africa. Located in mountainous terrain, the farm is often lost in a morning mist; the high moisture has resulted in rich and varied vegetation, from open plains to natural bushveld and high canopy forest.
There are more than 335 species of trees and a wide variety of birds, including black eagles, purple crested and Knysna Turacos and the rare Narina Trogon. The larger game includes leopard, giraffe, zebra, sable brown hyena and numerous species of antelope. Leshiba is best explored on foot where we offer you the unique opportunity to walk unguided amongst our animals wildebeest and the elusive leopard plus kudu, eland and many of the smaller species; red duiker, aardvark, pangolins, porcupines and civets.
What to expect at the lodge/reserve
Leshiba offers accommodation in The Venda Village Lodge, Hamasha Bush Camp and Luvhondo Camp - Indigenous Knowledge Centre with both full board and self-catering options.
The Venda Village Lodge:
The Lodge is an authentic traditional village re-created together with internationally renowned Venda artist, Noria Mabasa. It has 5 en-suite African style huts that open up to sculpted sun-baked courtyards. Facilities Include a lounge with an indoor fire place. An outdoor open fire place, pool deck with a stunning view over the Duluni valley. The Lodge sleeps 9 persons sharing.
Luxury Suites
Mwedzi and Duvha luxury suites offer a romantic and secluded stay with private plunge pools and patios overlooking the animals grazing on the plain below. The two suites are in close proximity to the lodge but well hidden away in beautiful bush surroundings to ensure complete privacy. The suites also boast fully-equipped kitchens and lounges to allow the choice of a fully catered or self-catering experience.
Hamasha
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the fact that Hamasha Bush Camp is remotely situated without mobile reception or other forms of communication, a 4X4 or high clearance vehicle is required to reach the camp. Hamasha Bush Camp offers self-catered accommodation. Surrounded by trees and nestled within a spectacular amphitheatre of high cliffs and mountains, this eight-bedded Camp has a magnificent view through Hamasha gorge and is the perfect getaway for small groups of nature lovers. Camp facilities include private small bush camp for maximum of eight persons. Fully-equipped kitchen and outdoor braai / barbecue area. Comfortable, cozy lounge with open fire place. Outdoor showers. Ideal for small groups and families.
Luvhondo Camp
Luvhondo is Leshiba's group accommodation venue. It is situated close to the cliffs with endless views. Maximum of 28 persons sharing (bunk beds). Excluding the bunks, maximum of 16 persons sharing (2 persons per room). 3x Large rondavels, divided into two (each able to sleep 2-4 persons). Two outside bathrooms with showers & toilets. A fourth rondavel divided into two has en-suite facilities, shower & toilet & sleeps 2persons in each room. A large open plan thatched communal room with kitchen, lounge and surrounding verandah. Outdoor boma. Solar powered & grey water is filtered into a dam, which attracts game to the immediate area.
Game drives are available, but the best way to experience all the reserve has to offer, is on foot. There are 12 marked trails from 2 to 5 hours walking time, with paths meandering through lush bush, over plains and down spectacular gorges, where in summer you can swim in clear rock pools.
For an experience which reflects the soul of Africa walk along the marked trails, join a game drive or take a horse ride (experienced riders only), within our diverse environment. Visit ancient rock art sites and meander under dense canopies of indigenous forest or hike down rocky gorges.
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
