Product Description

LEGÔLA WILDLIFE ESTATE IS AN EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE GAME FARM SITUATED IN THE LIMPOPO PROVINCE.

The Estate, at the foothills of the acclaimed UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere, falls in the malaria-free area and is closer to Marken, about 70km from Ellisras/Lephalale. The perennial Palala River running through the estate has a variety of fish species and the occasional hippo sightings. There is a gravel landing strip of 920m for a fly-in. With only about 2,5 hours’ drive from Pretoria, this is the place for a perfect weekend break-away.

The Waterberg area of South Africa is described as one of the country’s best-kept secrets, and with good reason – offering vast, peaceful and beautiful scenery. The region is a fascinating destination with a rich cultural legacy and heritage coupled with a natural splendour that is particularly appealing to those in need of a place to unwind.

The Estate offers sightings of some of Africa’s most magnificent creatures like rhino, buffalo, leopard
