Neighbourhood information

Metsi Lodge is situated in the malaria-free 37 000 hectares Big Five Welgevonden Game Reserve in the Limpopo Province (South Africa). Metsi Lodge offers a wonderful atmosphere of relaxation and comfort and staying here, one does truly "feel at home in the bush." With the lodge folding doors opening onto an expansive deck overlooking our pond, one is always on nature's doorstep. The entire lodge is unobtrusively fenced to encourage the ever present wildlife to remain at a comfortable distance. Decide each day how early or late you want to start and end your safaris: comfortably sitting in our land cruiser game viewer, our highly experienced, fully qualified guide will be leading you to enjoy the full spectrum of wildlife. The reserve offers Big Five game tracking as well as many species of antelopes and superb bird-life. Everything you can expect in South Africa is there. Elephant, Waterbuck, blue Wildebeest, Warthog and Impala are common residents close to the lodge. Zebra, Eland, white Rhino, Lion and Cheetah are also frequent sightings on our adjacent grass plains and acacia woodland, where we also receive regular visits from giraffe or that elusive leopard!
