Safari lodge on a 500-hectare malaria-free wildlife estate in the Waterberg Mountains
Property Overview
Thaba Pitsi Nature Reserve spans 500 hectares of malaria-free terrain in the shadows of the Waterberg Mountains near Bela-Bela. The reserve is a wildlife estate where guests see animals such as sable, buffalo, giraffe, and klipspringer during guided game drives. A lion named Ramatla lives within the reserve, and his roar echoes through the mountains at night.
Accommodation Options
The lodge offers one-bedroom chalets and self-catering bungalows, each with a private Jacuzzi filled with clean water free of chlorine or chemicals. La Vallee De Blandine is a separate 5-bedroom house with a fully equipped kitchen and access to a communal pool and hot tub. Garden bungalows also have a fully equipped kitchen and share the communal pool and hot tub.
Wildlife & Activities
Daily game drives are led by an informative guide, offering sightings of lions, buffalo, and other wildlife within the estate. Guests can also feed animals during the drives, an experience praised by multiple visitors. The reserve is home to a variety of species including sable, giraffe, and klipspringer, all visible in their natural habitat.
Amenities & Services
The property has an outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub/Jacuzzi, and BBQ facilities with an outdoor fireplace and terrace. Guests enjoy free WiFi, non-smoking rooms, and family rooms, with wine and champagne available on request. The host Anel ensures prompt service, such as supplying additional dishes and oven trays, and staff member James assisted with a car battery issue.
Location & Surroundings
Thaba Pitsi is situated in the Waterberg Mountains near Bela-Bela, a malaria-free area that attracts nature lovers. The reserve is close enough to town amenities yet far enough to guarantee peace and quiet. The dusty road leading to the property is noted as poorly maintained, but the surrounding environment offers a different experience from urban life.
Wildlife: Lion Ramatla, game drives, animal feeding
Accommodation: Private Jacuzzis with chlorine-free water
Amenities: Outdoor pool, BBQ facilities, outdoor fireplace
Service: Host Anel, prompt assistance
“The tranquil setting offers a genuine escape, with the private jacuzzis and braai areas fostering a sense of personal retreat. What stood out were the spacious, well-appointed units and the dedicated attention from hostess Anel, who clearly goes above and beyond to ensure guest comfort.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Zalimpopo
