Didingwe River Lodge

Nestled in the natural valley of the mountains, on the banks of the Groot Dwars River, Didingwe is a beautifully appointed private game lodge sporting marvellous scenes of indigenous forest and bushveld. Situated on a hill overlooking the river, the lodge itself offers an attractive view of the mountainous countryside that surrounds it. Enjoy any of a wide variety of popular refreshments in the bar area, or walk out onto our large deck to have lunch overlooking the river, where the peaceful running of the water and the singing of birds will be the only sounds to grace your ears. The deck is perfectly suited for weddings and the natural beauty of the surroundings make it a favourite venue for wedding photos.

Our rooms and chalets are situated along the river bank where the lovely sound of water will coax you into relaxation. Boasting a wide variety of indigenous trees, the abundance of birds ensure ample opportunities for bird watching, an ideal pastime for any nature lover. Informal hiking is permitted anywhere on the farm and is safe as there are no predators. Game drives can easily be organized, taking you on the authentic African experience. Impala, Zebra, Blesbok, Blouwille bees, Kudu, Waterbok, Nyala bok, Bos vark, Volstruis or tierboskat, after which Didingwe is named, can among many others, be viewed on the farm.
