Lesheba/Johannesburg. Tucked away in a hidden valley near the cloud-wreathed peak of Soutpansberg Mountains in Limpopo, Lesheba offers that sublime travel experience with its captivating combination of magnificent natural surroundings and rich cultural heritage.

Upon entering this luxury lodge, visitors are first struck by the intricate artistry of its sculpted walls, seating areas, figurines and showers.

Lesheba actively promotes and preserves indigenous practices such as carving, storytelling and traditional healing, and has been accredited by Fair Trade in Tourism in South Africa. Pay a visit to its Center for Indigenous Knowledge, to gain insights into the unique Venda style of craftsmanship and ways of life.

The Greater Soutpansberg is one of South Africa's most unique and biodiverse environments with over 340 species of trees and an impressively rich mix of animal life, and Lesheba is part of the movement to establish it as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Stroll under dense canopies of lush green forest, discover ancient rock art sites, hike down breathtaking rocky gorges and swim in crystal-clear rock pools, and one may just begin to get a full appreciation of its raw, majestic beauty.

Lesheba is powered by solar energy, and one is constantly in close communication with nature. Staying at Mwedzi, one of its luxury lodges, is pure secluded bliss, with its flourishing bush surroundings and a patio overlooking grazing giraffe and rhinos on the plains. For an added dose of indulgence, enjoy a soak in Lesheba's delicious bath hut which also offers some splendid panoramic views of the mountains.
