Leshiba Wilderness
The Venda Art Lodge is an authentic traditional village re-created by internationally renowned artist Noria Mabasa. This artistic wonderland of sculpted walls, seating areas, figures and entrances breathes the mystical spirit of Venda. Sleeps 8 sharing plus 1 single. Sculpted sun-baked courtyards open up to en-suite African-style huts in our Venda Village Lodge. The Luxury and Lavish suites offer a romantic and secluded stay with private plunge pools and patios overlooking the animals grazing on the plain below. Hamasha Bush Camp offers self-catering accommodation for 6 people and is nestled in an amphitheatre of high cliffs, with magnificent views through the gorge to the north.
