Palala River Cottages – Vaalwater

The Waterberg has all the beauty and promise of a true African safari and is an area renowned for its magnificent mountains, spectacular wildlife and its fascinating history. All this is just a mere 3 hours away from Gauteng and it is not surprising that people make use of every opportunity to escape to this outstanding African bushveld area. Jembisa lies in the Unesco world biosphere reserve of the Waterberg., which consists of 3000 hectares of rivers, forest, grasslands and cliffs.  Not only is this area sought after for safaris and the chance to see the big 5,  the fact that it is a malaria free area is a huge drawcard as well.

Palala River Cottages are designed to accommodate different kinds of guests so that each one gets the experience they want. You can take your pick from the exquisite Kingfisher Lodge, River Cottage or Podica Bush Camp. Kingfisher can accommodate up to 10 people.
