Description
Leshiba offers a unique, authentic & holistic African experience. Have your head in the clouds & feet next to rhinos in a mountaintop landscape. A Venda Village Lodge unseen anywhere else in Africa; a hand sculpted, luxurious artistic wonderland. African spa, activity trails, horse back riding, medicinal plants, wood carving, beading & drumming circles. All encapsulating holistic, sustainable & responsible tourism.
There are more than 335 species of trees and a wide variety of birds, including black eagles, purple crested and Knysna louries and the rare Narina Trogon. The larger game includes white rhino, leopard, giraffe, zebra, sable brown hyena and numerous species of antelope.
Game drives are available, but the best way to experience all the farm has to offer, is on foot. There are 10 marked trails from 2 to 5 hours walking time, with paths meandering through lush bush, over plains and down spectacular gorges, where in summer you can swim in clear rock pools.
There are 2 exclusive Bushcamps at Lesheba. Both are fully equipped for
self- catering and full board is offered from The Venda Village.
Several circular walking trails begin at each camp.
The farm is a 5 hour's drive from Johannesburg.
THE VENDA VILLAGE: Internationally acclaimed Venda artist, Noria Mabasa, has created the extraordinary Venda Village. It is a living gallery of her works and overlooks Duluni Valley. There is a luxury outdoor bathroom with sculpted figureheads and a view over the plains below and a thatched lapa with a lounge, diningroom and kitchen. This camp sleeps 9. Truly African, Truly Amazing!
NEW LUXURY SUITES AT THE VILLAGE: Escape to your own private hideaway in two new luxury suites with endless views across the valley. Enjoy a romantic
stay at the new Mwedzi (Moon) or Duvha (Sun) suites. These secluded units offer every luxury that you may desire. Relax in your private bedroom, dining room and lounge or retreat to your en-suite bathroom and soak in the large bath or double showers. There is also the option of an outdoor shower. Pure cotton linen, delicious baths, candlelight and kerosene lamps add to
the romance. A wonderland of African design, art and style!
HAMASHA: This thatched camp has four en-suite bedrooms offering magnificent views of Hamasha gorge. It has a lounge and fireplace for cosy evenings with
French doors opening out onto a braai area. After a long hike, there's nothing more refreshing than enjoying one of the outdoor showers. Secluded and Magical!
