Location

The Limpopo province is a land of dramatic contrasts, characterized by hot savannah plains, mist-clad mountains, age-old indigenous forests, ancient mountain fortresses and the luxury of modern-day facilities. The present tranquility of the province belies a turbulent past, to which many monuments and museums attest.

The beauty and infinite variety of the Limpopo Province will not only delight all who visit, but will entice visitors back again and again! This is where you will find the Waterberg Biosphere, rich in beauty, fauna and flora, waiting to be explored.

Vaalwater, in the heart of the Waterberg, was established at the turn of the century, and is possibly best known for its game and holiday farms. These farms offer the visitor hunting, game watching, hiking and horse trails, elephant rides and much more. This is also the area where you will find Mashudu Lodge, just 15km from this typical Limpopo farm town.

Come and see Gods creation, come and live the Mashudu magic!
