Sebe Sebe Lodge - hiddden luxury

We planned to stay over in Mokopane (Potgietersrus) on the way to the Stockpoort border post, but after entering the very busy town on a Friday (25th) afternoon, decided to move on. I saw a small advertisement in the WEG magazine for Sebe Sebe Lodge, 8 km from Stockpoort and decided to give it a go. What a nice surprise !

I phoned Karel Kerling, a co-owner and dentist based in Pretoria. He immediately arranged that Willem, the very proud manager, will meet and accommodate us there for the night in the 'SLAGHUIS' unit.

Sebe Sebe Lodge is a luxurious lodge on the banks of the Limpopo river that offers self-catering or fully lodged facilities. All the units, with a total sleeping capacity of 40 people, are situated on the river banks. BIrd life is prolific and Willem is just too keen to take you on a game drive on the 500 hectare property along the Limpopo river.

If you use the Stockpoort border post (see post about this border post) and need a stop over on the South African side, look no further. The rates are worth the experience.

We happen to meet Gerhard Lampen and Pieter Steenkamp, winners of the WegRY subscribers price with Bjejane Safaris, who just returned from Botswana. They also chose Sebe Sebe after recommendations from friends who knew the place.
