Zingela Nature Reserve

Zingela Nature Reserve is a privately owned 27,000-hectare protected area situated in the Limpopo Bushveld region near Tolwe, approximately 2.5 hours from Polokwane International Airport. This expansive reserve is home to abundant natural fauna and flora, offering visitors a pristine African wilderness experience.

The reserve features three distinct accommodation options. Doornstock Lodge comprises four chalets and a vintage farm house known as Doornstock House. The chalets are en-suite and can accommodate four people each, while the farm house offers three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and comprehensive living areas. Both share access to communal facilities including a swimming pool, lapa, and BBQ area.

Leadwood Lodge consists of three two-bedroom chalets, each equipped with full kitchen facilities and living areas. Guests can enjoy the shared swimming pool, lapa, and BBQ facilities. For those seeking a more immersive experience, Baobab Tented Camp offers four safari-style tents with private bathrooms and viewing decks overlooking the Limpopo valley. The camp includes a communal kitchen, dining area, swimming pool, and BBQ facilities.

Doornstock Lodge can be booked exclusively, combining the main house and chalets into one private facility with its own braai boma, lapa, and swimming pool. This hidden gem of the Limpopo Bushveld offers visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty, tranquility, and exclusivity of the African bush in comfort and style.
