Pitse Lodge

Accommodation

Perfect for large families or group getaways, the intimate chalets of Pitse Lodge are exclusively yours for the duration of your stay. Five chalets can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests. Two of the chalets are interconnected, making them ideal for families with children.

All of the thatch and stone chalets are amply appointed, furnished with cozy beds and en-suite bathrooms, and blend elegantly into the natural surroundings. Individual decks and outside showers complete the indulgent experience, allowing you to appreciate the expanse of plain, with its views of distant horizons in all directions, and the feeling of total immersion in nature.

Wildlife

The temperate Waterberg is a region of great diversity. Straddling two distinct ecological zones, Limpopo itself encompasses an array of landscapes from mountainous horizons to savannah grasslands, with the rocky outcrops of ravines and gorges in between. Among the area’s famous predators are leopard and cheetah, as well as an extensive number of mammals like zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, eland and kudu.

One of the largest populations of White Rhinos in any private reserve in Africa often graze close to the lodge. Populations of Blue Cranes, Secretary Birds and Cape Vultures are among the myriad bird species that share the thousands of endemic plants blanketing the landscape.
