Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

The baobab sunset. An African icon, a prehistoric succulent, a symbol of life. Here, they grow in the Soutpansberg Mountains. Alongside yellowwood, forest fever, giant cabbage and ancient ferns. In fact, there are 500 or so tree species. And there, in a valley below, is Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge or Water from the Mountains Mountain Lodge if you want a direct translation.

With a mixture of rooms, suites with self catering facilities, Madi a Thavha can accommodate 18 guests in its sprawling sub-tropical grounds.

Each guest suite has its own style inspired by the local heritage and, as a nice touch, the soft furnishings are made in their own design and sewing studio. Bed and breakfast is available.

You can hike and cycle around the lodge or hang out around the pool and lapa.

The lodge offers various tours including the CraftArt and Communities’ Lifestyles tour - this is all about the local Venda, Tsonga and Northern Sotho people. Visit artists and crafters’ work places in the rural villages.

Or just explore the Soutpansberg region. Hike or go bird watching or do both. Ever heard of the big 5 birds? Soutpansberg has ‘em. The African Broadbill and the Crested Guinea fowl can be seen here too.

If you want to go further you can do day trips to Mapungubwe, the two most northern gates of the Kruger National Park, Pafuri and Punda Maria and the Levubu valley and the Wolkberge in Tzaneen.
