Child friendly activities at Lepogo Lodges

Lepogo Lodges’ Noka Camp, one of Africa’s few entirely not-for-profit safari lodges, is offering a range of child-friendly activities in the South African wilderness.

The safari camp is located within the 50,000-hectare, malaria-free Lapalala Wilderness Reserve and home to the ‘big five’. Children and young teenagers are offered treasure hunts around the lodge and bush baking along with pottery making, trinket crafting, bush painting and jewellery making.

After dark, there’s the chance to learn about the African night-sky and learn about the stars under the expert guidance of the inhouse astrologer.

Home to more than 60 mammal species, Lepogo Lodges’ private game drives mean families are able to observe an abundance of wildlife at a time that suits them.

Guests can expect to spot rhino, lion, cheetah, buffalo, elephant and more, as well as some of the 300 different bird species inhabiting the reserve.

Tours of the nearby Iron Age site on Melora mountain and the rock art of the Bushman paintings provide the chance to appreciate the area’s ancient history and traditions.

A carbon offset programme at Noka Camp calculates the carbon emissions from each guest, from the time they leave their home to the moment they return.

The figure is then converted into a monetary value which is donated into one of three conservation projects chosen by the guest.

The camp is entirely off-grid, with energy self-generated by a 250m solar walkway.

Lepogo Lodges will consist of two lodges, with a second property, Melote House, set to open in 2021.
