About Lupela Lodge
Lupela Lodge is situated in a peaceful and scenic valley in the Witteberg Mountains and is hidden in a gorge that opens into a wide valley of green pastures and sandstone mountainsides.
Lupela is situated within easy reach of Lady Grey town and is near to Joubert’s Pass - the 3rd highest in the country. Although Lupela is a convenient 5km from the tar road, you will feel like you have stepped into another, more tranquil world. Awesome fly-fishing, warm hospitality and great food keep Lupela's guests returning year after year.
