Mopane Bush Lodge is a tranquil bush retreat with attentive personal service at affordable rates, offering luxury fully catered accommodation in secluded thatched chalets. It nestles in the Mopane Bushveld on our Mapesu Private Nature Reserve, a 6000ha game farm.

MOPANE BUSH LODGE is ideally located for visits to Mapungubwe National Park, Mapungubwe Hill, the centre of the World Heritage Landscape where the first southern African kingdom was established in the 13th Century, San rock art sites and predator tracking. Other attractions include baobabs, the Limpopo River and birding.

Our newsletter is posted in the Newsletter page, together with links to all previous Newsletters. In the Special Events page, read our latest info concerning the proposed coal mine next to our World Cultural Heritage Landscape, and our submissions and efforts in an attempt to get it moved to a more beneficial coal field further away from Mapungubwe.
