Private open vehicle safaris led by expert guides, with intimate wildlife encounters and golden hour bush sunsets.


A family farm in the Limpopo bushveld, opened up as a private lodge. Wide horizons, open vehicle safaris, fire cooked dinners and nine suites that look straight into the wild.
Welcome to Lelapa
Three generations have farmed this stretch of Limpopo bushveld. What began as cattle and citrus is now a private conservancy of 3 400 hectares, with a small lodge tucked into the shoulder of a red rock koppie.
There are only nine suites, so the bush never feels crowded. Days are shaped around the animals drives at first light, long lunches, a swim while the heat settles, and dinner around the fire once the sun drops behind the ridge.
In winter the farm also opens for managed, ethical hunting safaris under the guidance of our professional hunter.
