PEZULU TREE HOUSE LODGE

Destination

Limpopo

The Lodge comprises of seven unique thatch and reed Tree Houses, accommodating a maximum of sixteen people. Each unit has been built to blend with the environment whilst maintaining an element of luxury. No nails have been knocked into the trees, rather the units have been built around the trees, resulting in huge branches which are still growing, passing through the Tree Houses. At Pezulu you find an escape from today's hectic world and enjoy the unspoilt African bush. We organise morning and late afternoon game drives in open vehicles. There are a lot of other interesting activities in the surroundings. You can also relax at our magnificent rock swimming pool, enjoy a sundowner at our superb lookout point or have a drink in our original treetop bar. Dinner is served under the stars in our beautiful boma.

PEZULU TREE HOUSE LODGE Amenities

Every unit is en-suite and has a private balcony where you can view herds of animals passing below, or view a giraffe eye to eye. Blending in beautifully with the African bush, solid wooden walkways lead high into your private tree house. All our tree houses are supplied with running water, electricity, overhead fans and mosquito nets. They are separated from each other and hidden from view. Parts of the still growing trees provide the most natural towel raills and stools.The thatched main building is entwined around a large Marula tree. It consists of a lounge, dining area, curio shop and a charming treetop bar. The magnificent rock swimming pool is the perfect place to cool off during hot summer days. Enjoy a sundowner from our superb lookout point while watching the African sunset over the stunning Drakensberg Mountains. Or simply relax in the bar and reflect on the day passed in front of a blazing fire. For your entertainment there's also a pooltable in our comfortable, African style lounge. After dark, dinner is served under the stars in the beautiful outdoor boma. The delicious food is typically South-African.
