Kololo Game Reserve – Limpopo, South Africa

Overview

Kololo Game Reserve in the Limpopo region of South Africa, encompasses some 3000 hectares of African bush, consisting of savannah plains and rambling bushveld set amidst Limpopo’s river-valleys. Situated with direct access to Welgevonden Private Game Reserve, on the border of the renowned Marakele National Park, its pristine bushveld surrounds make Kololo the ideal habitat for a wide variety of game, including the famous Big Five.

Settled comfortably in luxurious chalets nestled in nooks of untouched bush, or hilltop villas that offer sneak-previews of the passing wildlife, visitors to Kololo will enjoy not just a tranquil getaway but a once in a lifetime African game experience.

This safari lodge is perfect for solo travellers, families, groups of friends.

Accommodation

A number of stylish villas and chalets make up the accommodation at Kololo, all positioned to enhance privacy and ensure relaxation. Hidden in tranquil nooks of the woodland vegetation, and surrounded by luscious lawns often grazed by passing antelope, the stylish simplicity of standard chalets provides comfortable accommodation to suit anyone’s budget.

Their panoramic view of the pristine bush makes the roomy luxury of deluxe villas, with their own swimming pools and outdoor barbeques, perfect for maximum relaxation.

Wildlife

While the Waterberg is perhaps one of South Africa’s best-kept safari destinations, there is no shortage of wildlife or biodiversity here. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the incredible range of geography and ecosystems make the Limpopo a hotspot for wildlife conservation, while the added attraction of being situated in a malaria-free zone is an additional draw for both local and international tourists.

An abundance of indigenous flora supports the 300 species of birdlife and variety of game from antelope found grazing on the savannah plains of Welgevonden, to elephants browsing the riverine woodlands and predators like lions and leopards stalking the bushveld for prey.
