Location:- Medike Mountain Reserve is situated in the Limpopo (Northern) Province about 36km west of Louis Trichardt (Makhado). This Natural Heritage Site is in the picturesque western Soutpansberg where the Sand River (Mongezi) has cut an impressive gorge through the mountain. Medike is a member of the Soutpansberg Conservancy that ultimately aims at managing a 90 000 ha conservancy to preserve the Soutpansberg’s unique cultural and natural heritage. Campfires, a leopard rasping in the distance, star filled nights, eagles soaring above the mountains and true bushveld hospitality will make your Medike sojourn even more memorable.
