About this place
Zvakanaka Farm is an idyllic getaway in the Soutpansberg Mountains, 11 km north of Louis Trichardt (Makhado) on the N1, a perfect stopover en route to Kruger, Mapungubwe and the Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Botswana borders. The farm offers five individual self-catering cottages and cabins plus five private campsites, set among cliffs, grassland, forest and a wetland. It is a wonderful birding destination, with more than 130 species recorded and specials such as Narina Trogon, African Broadbill, Orange Ground Thrush, Gorgeous Bushshrike, Green Twinspot and White-starred Robin. A BirdLife South Africa affiliated property, so a share of every booking supports bird conservation. No pets. No smoking indoors.

Nothing is hidden, in-season birds simply move to the front. Months come from national records, not from this garden.












These are records, not promises. Wild birds and animals move, so sightings are never guaranteed.
