ADANSONIA ECO LODGE
Bush Lodge (Self Catering) Accommodation
in Musina, Soutpansberg,
Limpopo, South Africa
Adansonia Eco Lodge is a spectacular destination for everyone
interested in wildlife, birding, photography, bow hunting, 4x4s and ecology. If
chilling out far away from the city's maddening crowds is your thing, you will
feel right at home.
Are you:
A nature lover who wish to go for long walks? There are so many different
routes to take that it will take you more than a week to cover all of them.
Whether you want to see the mammals (such as giraffe, zebra, water buck and blue
wildebeest), reptiles (such as pythons, tortoises and lizards and geckos), birds
(eagles, hawks, weavers, etc), trees (baobabs, matoppies, maroela, acasia ) or
flowers (wild flowers galore), you will be thrilled to be here. Around each
corner, and over each koppie, another adventure awaits.
A keen nature photographer? Then you will love Adansonia Eco Lodge for
you will be able to photograph a variety of wild life up close. Also there will
be plentiful photo opportunities with stunning sun rises, ancient baobab trees,
winding sand rivers, and an abundance of koppies.
A frustrated artist? Your creativity will know no bounds in this stunning
environment. Bring your brushes and pencils as you will be in the mood from the
word 'Go'!
A bow hunter (with scruples)? A protected hide provides you with the
opportunity to come close to various herds of antelope at a watering hole.
Simply keen on some time out? No need to walk anywhere to have a good
time at Adansonia. You can simply relax on the stoep in front of your own cabin
with a good book and a view to die for. Alternatively you can laze in one of the
hammocs on the deck by the swimming pool.
On your way to Beit Bridge and need to sleep over before crossing the border
early in the morning? Adansonia Eco Lodge are located on the corner of the
N1 to Musina and the Doreen road less than 12 km outside Musina. No need to
sleep in one of those cramped overnight accommodations if you can relax and make
the stopover at Adansonia an exciting part of your journey. The border post is
approximately 20 minutes drive away from Adansonia.
Living in Musina, Louis Trichardt (Makhado) or Polokwane and need a place to
recharge your batteries? Adansonia is the ideal place to relax with family
and friends for that special occasion. A long weekend in the bush is just what
you need.
A 4x4 or a quad bike enthusiast? You will find numerous exciting
challenges at Adansonia Eco Lodge. Whilst many of the roads can be driven by
normal high rise vehicles, the majority needs a 4x4 to manoeuvre successfully.
Some of the roads in the hill side are seriously challenging, even
with a 4x4 vehicle and an experienced driver. The dry sand rivers that
crisscross over the length and breadth of the farm also provide ample driving
opportunities for quad bikes and 4x4s alike.
Visiting Venetia mine? Adansonia offers ideal accommodation to make the
non-working hours worth your while.
About Adansonia Eco Lodge:
The accommodation consist of four wooden thatch roof chalets on stilts,
each overlooking a uniquely beautiful view over a exquisite dry river bed
(which, in rainy seasons, could turn into a torrent river), splendid rolling
hills and majestic baobab trees.
All chalets are equipped with air-conditioning, electricity, hot water, bed
linen and mosquito nets. Each chalet has its own veranda, bedroom and bathroom
(with shower, toilet and wash basin). In three of the chalets, the bedroom is
furnished with two twin beds (which can be pushed together to create a king
sized bed) and two single beds. The other chalet is furnished with a double bed
and two singles. The total number of guests that can be accommodated is sixteen;
however this number can be increased if additional camping beds are requested
well in advance.
Apart from the 4 chalets, the communal area provides a dining room,
kitchen, bar area, swimming pool with a wooden deck, braai area and a lapa. All
these areas provide you with breathtaking views.
Accommodation is provided on a self-catering basis and therefore the
kitchen is equipped with all the basics that you may need. A microwave oven, two
plate stove, gas stove and a fridge/freezer combination are provided, and the
lovely braai facilities (free wood included) sets the table for a unique dining
experience in the bush with spectacular views (at day as well as night time -
especially in full moon). Should you wish to spoil yourself, we can arrange a
qualified chef to cook the food that you bring along - at a minimal additional
daily cost.
The swimming pool at the Adansonia Eco Lodge is a feature in itself.
Situated on the edge of a wooden deck, the views from the pool are spectacular.
Two hammocks are provided for those who prefer a nap to anything more strenuous.
For your tree spotting convenience, many of the spectacular trees around
the lodge has been marked with their scientific and colloquial names. A small
reference library is also available, with books on topics such as trees,
reptiles, mammals, flowers and insects.
A number of indoor games are stacked away in the cupboard (playing cards,
poker, monopoly, uno, etc). Some outdoor games (swing ball & a life size chess
set) are also available.
Should you worry about missing a big sporting event whilst at Adansonia? With
two air conditioned and fully licensed restaurants within 3 km from the
entrance to the farm, you won't need to miss the big game.
A high rise vehicle is recommended for the roads on the farm, however,
alternative transport arrangements can be made if requested prior to arrival.
One free game drive per day with an experienced driver on an open Land
Rover (circa 1978) is included.
Whilst Adansonia Eco Lodge welcomes children of all ages on the farm,
parents should take note that they will have to take extra special care of their
little ones (especially babies and toddlers under the age of 5). Children will
have to be watched as the steps and the swimming pool (among other areas) may be
dangerous.
Adansonia Eco Lodge provides an enriching, value-for-money, once in a
lifetime bush veld experience for individuals, couples, families, and groups up
to approximately 16 people. We will always aim to book the lodge in its entirety
for your party's exclusive use.
Looking forward to meet you!
