Makoppas Nest River Lodge
Birding & Wildlife
One of Limpopo’s hidden riverfront birding and wildlife photography destinations.
More than a place to sleep.
Makoppas Nest sits in a rich river habitat where birders, wildlife photographers and quiet nature seekers can slow down and pay attention.
The Mogalakwena River system supports water birds, kingfishers, raptors and regular bushveld sightings. Species and sightings change with season, weather and patience — which is exactly why photographers keep looking.
Bring binoculars, a camera and a little silence. The bush usually does the rest.
