Lepogo Lodges, in Limpopo Province, is one of Africa’s few entirely non-for-profit safari lodges

Vast, remote and serene, the Lapalala Wilderness awakens the senses with its deep valleys and spectacular cliffs echoing to the sound of tumbling streams. From crystal clear rock pools to wide open plains, this is an area rich in an abundant array of wildlife and largely untouched by man.

Lepogo Lodges consists of 2 separate lodges, both of which can be booked in their entirety. Noka Camp is the first to open and sleeps 12. Melote House will be an exclusive use house, sleeping up to 16 and will open in 2023.

The group is opening its Melote House, its second lodge in January 2024. Melote House is built in tiers to maximise the views over the Lapalala Wilderness, and its design is carbon-neutral and features rammed earth walls built with earth taken out of the hillside it sits on. 

Suiting multi- generational family living, the exclusive-use lodge has a main house sleeping 12 and an adjacent separate cottage sleeps four.
