Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge

Madi a Thavha, meaning water from the mountains, is situated in a valley of the Soutpansberg Mountains of Northern Limpopo, a 10km drive from the centre of Louis Trichardt.

At Madi a Thavha guests will find everything the area has to offer, incuding an exhibition of the art and crafts of the Venda and Tsonga artists, numerous bird species, walking routes, and the workshop of Madi a Thavha design. The lodge is an excellent base to spend a few days to explore the Venda and Tsonga culture, myths and legends and to discover unspoiled nature of the Soutpansberg and Limpopo valley.

Madi a Thavha is an ideal stopover when travelling to the Kruger National Park, Mapungubwe, the bush camps at Tuli Block in Botswana, or the Victoria falls in Zimbabwe. Madi a Thavha provides a wide range of services including bed and breakfast, full boarding, and self catering for up to 18 people. Everything is tastefully decorated with Venda and Tsonga arts and crafts, made by people in the villages around Madi a Thavha mountain farm lodge. The farm house includes a lounge and dining room, open plan kitchen, reception, craft shop, verandahs, a swimming pool, and garden.

Madi a Thavha offers opportunities for children and their parents to experience a special and exciting holiday. While playing and enjoying the activities children learn about African culture and daily life of people living in the rural villages.
