Mhondoro Game Lodge, in the Welgevonden Game Reserve in Limpopo, has revealed its newest feature: an underground waterhole hide that is connected to the main lodge through a 65m reinforced concrete tunnel.
Guests will be able to walk down the tunnel and stand in a hide to view the animals approaching the waterhole. The hide is in a safe location and ideal for taking photos.
When a fire destroyed the main lodge in 2013, plans were made to rebuild the lodge as well as add the new waterhole feature and a new family villa. The newly built Mhondoro Game Lodge will be open for guests from September.
A spa and a new gym will also be an addition to the lodge’s main area.
Jasper Bruinsma, MD of Mhondoro Game Lodge, said: “The tunnel and hide are almost ready, and the first reactions are overwhelming; we cannot wait to welcome our first guests!”
