Palala River Cottages

Palala River Cottages are self-catered bush cottages in a private game reserve in the malaria-free Waterberg Mountains in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. There are 2 different cottages to suit the needs of specific guest parties plus a small bush camp. Guests can self-drive on the reserve or book game drives and guided walks, dependent on availability.
Firstly there is River Cottage. A romantic, thatched single bedroom cottage set alone on the river makes it perfect for a peaceful bush escape. It is fully equipped and has a log fire for winter evenings. Wildlife can be viewed from it's shaded veranda.
