Area Info
Get lost in the beauty that is South Africa's bushveld. Nowhere else can you experience such beauty in nature, life and people who all co-exist in perfect harmony. The local communities consist mainly of Venda and Shangaan tribes and they welcome visitors with open hands as the lodge is an important source of income.
Nthakeni consists of roughly 40 hectares of unspoilt South African Bushveld, with two sites that cater for different levels of comfort. You are free to enjoy the all facilities.
