If You Want Peace And Quiet the Waterberg is The Perfect Location


 


Jembisa Lodge is the kind of holiday that perfect dreams are made of. The Lodge is situated in Limpopo Province where you will be able to enjoy the fantastic cuisine and service that will make you feel at home; perhaps even a little like you have walked straight into the set of “Out of Africa”!

• Azure skies and gentle breezes add to the magic of this perfectly located lodge.
• The lodge is flanked by rivers, gorges and pristine cliffs offering sweeping views that stretch as far as the eye can see.
• This bush lodge comprises five comfortable bedrooms, outstanding service and exclusivity for perfect privacy, as this is the policy of the lodge.
• Mmm – a personal chef is what everyone dreams of in life; Jembisa is there to delight and certainly won’t disappoint.
• A personal chef, waiter and staff will be on standby to indulge your every whim, and grant your every wish.
• Unwind and relax at your leisure; this is what this break is all about.


What  then is there to do at Jembisa Lodge?


• Delightful personal game drives are arranged and thoroughly enjoyed.
• Relax in style both indoors and outdoors.
• There is a library, enjoyed by all.
• Superb tennis courts for tennis enthusiasts are available, and an immaculate salt water pool to cool off after a game drive or long hike.
• Guided walks will intrigue while you track the spoor of a myriad of animals.
• Children are catered for, too; these include the identification of spoor and tracking, hunting bugs and frogs and skills on how to be the next ”Survivor” contestant.
• For those interested in history and archaeology there is a plethora of Iron Age and bushman painting sites to savour.
• Stargazers are in for a treat with the star spangled skies leaving you absolutely breathless.

Land of the Camdeboo

Posted on December 5, 2011 by terry| Comments Off

Land of the Camdeboo Leaves You Spoilt for Choice
The Karoo and the unique lush valley of the Camdeboo have extended its power annexing mountains and plains. Camdeboo must be Africa’s most treasured secret; simply wallow in the loveliness of this immense land and open spaces and enjoy filling your soul with the exquisiteness of the surroundings.
Stable cottages, guest houses, lodges, resorts, country houses are all the different types of accommodation you will be able to choose from when you visit Graaff Reinet or any of the quaint little towns dotted across the plains of the Great Karoo.
There is something for everyone; the extreme adventurer will be able to enjoy trails and hikes, absailing from the cliffs, horse trails and so much more.

Great Karoo towns that will leave you with a smile on your lips:

•    Established in 1855, Aberdeen is one of those unique Karoo towns that was a mission station on the farm of Brakkerfontein, and was named after the town of Aberdeen in Scotland. This was the birthplace of the minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in Graaff-Reinet. Aberdeen is home to many artists and writers, where an ambience of Victoriana and colour presides.
•    Bedford is a charming Settler village which is cuddled at the foot of the Bedford Mountains, steeped in history and which offers the adventurer diverse and comfortable accommodation with much to see and do.
•     Dolomite formations, natural springs and wild olives  is what makes Cambell special; steeped in the history of the San and Griquas will leave you saturated.
•    Colesburg is a town situated on the N1; stop over on your way to Cape Town and make this a memorable experience by staying over at one of the lovely little cottages or guest houses.

No stay in the Karoo is complete unless you have savoured the fine Karoo lamb and SA cuisine; the people are warm-hearted, friendly and hospitable. You will have to travel far and wide to equal your traditional Karoo experience.
