Get lost in a macro world of Limpopo, with its wide variety of wild animals just a few feet away. The wilderness wonderland of Gecko Bush Lodge is situated 17 km outside Bela Bela, only 160 km from Johannesburg. Gecko Bush Lodge offers self-catering chalets situated in a private game farm. Each unit is fully equipped and offers private barbecue areas as well as a communal lapa, boma and pool.
Take a journey with us to an unforgettable game farming experience that you will forever remember. Heading off the beaten tracks does come with its own special sense of freedom, so create an open space in your diary, fill up your tank and head off down the highways and byways of Limpopo, ensuring that you take a few spontaneous detours through one of our best tourist attractions, Bela Bela.
"The place is so beautiful and service was fantastic. The houses are very neat. It was nice to be there. <br/><br/>Establishments response:<br/><br/>Glad you and your friends enjoyed yourselves."
"Back road needs attention, especially after rain. Also get either insects repellent or color lights, bugs are an issue"
"the pictures don't tell the full story. This place is way better than the Picture look. i definitely wouldn't mind going back there."
"Since they allow kids to stay there at least they should provide play area for the children. The noise from the N1 is too disturbing."
"I am definitely going back to Gecko Bush Lodge for a time away from the bizz and buzz of city life. My family and I (Group of 16) went to Gecko Bush Lodge for a Christmas getaway and had a time of our lives, the place is not restricting in terms of their rules, the service we received from friendly and helpful Peter was awesome. We were given our own privacy plus the place is nice, well maintained and spacious, with morning views of animals.This place is incredible and not very far from necessary amenities.1 thing though, please can you start thinking about some sort of cooling system for your chalets as Limpopo is not a very cool province hey:)Thank you Peter for giving us such a memorable stay."
"Our chalet was huge for me and my family.The pool although is abit small for 10 people but it was great.If u can build maybe 1 big pool or 2 more pool the same size as the one next to the lapa.The service from Peter was beautiful. The animal watching while they wonder around the houses is beautiful and the kids loved it.Please make a plan with the wasbs that build their nests on the windows as we were nearly bit by 5 of them that I managed to kill.The traveling from the railway is abit intense for small vehicles and as soon as u enter Gecko Lodge, there are quite a few mud spots which made it very difficult for us to drive through, pls make a plan for that."
