A luxury local destination we recommend you try out now
If there is one thing the lockdown made us want to do, it’s to be out and about more and explore beautiful spaces for relaxation. Our recent find is a gem 90 minutes’ from Jo’burg, the delightful Lejwe La Metsi Private Reserve. It’s breath-taking, five-star and exactly where we recommend you take your next romantic or family getaway.
Inspired by Africa’s generous bounty of wide-open wilderness, and in response to the far-reaching love and fascination for the Mother Continent’s raw, primal beauty, the owners of Lejwe La Metsi Private Reserve have chosen to share their pristine slice of nature with the world.
Privately owned, the extravagantly comfortable destination was opened commercially in February 2022. Lejwe La Metsi’s owner comments, “Lejwe La Metsi is indescribably beautiful and we’ve worked hard to create an ineffably luxurious wilderness destination here. It’s something that we’re really proud of, something we want to share with the world.”
A Lap of Luxury for the Discerning (and Time-conscious) Traveller
Perhaps of greatest convenience is Lejwe La Metsi’s location – just 90 minutes’ drive from Johannesburg. The malaria-free reserve comprises just over 2,500 hectares of breathtaking Waterberg landscape – undulating hills and rocky outcrops, vast grasslands, thick bushveld – all home to a variety of wildlife.
Lejwe La Metsi – which aptly translates to “Rock of Water” – lies nestled within a protected valley, surrounded by cascading waterfalls and lush flora.
Total exclusivity
The only lodge on the reserve, Lejwe La Metsi accommodates a maximum of 36 guests in sprawling villas surrounded by immaculate gardens and verdant wild greenery.
