Mashovhela Lodge would like to extend a warm welcome to all the teams and their fans that were drawn to play at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
At the official World Cup draw held in Cape Town this evening it was announced that the following teams would be playing in Polokwane: Mexico, France, Argentina, Greece, Algeria, Slovenia, Paraguay, New Zealand
Peter Morrison, Marketing Manager for Mashovhela Lodge says “These are the lucky fans as they get to see a part of the country, that is not on the major tourism route, but if offers spectacular scenery, authentic culture and incredible wildlife. Fans who don’t have teams playing in Polokwane will just have to venture into our region pre or post the tournament.”
Mashovhela Lodge in the Soutpansberg is opening its doors to football fans and has a number of packages available over this period which can be viewed in our "Package" section of this website
“As we are a small Lodge, and accommodation is going to be of a premium in the area over that period, I would highly recommend that fans book early” Morrison adds.

Discover one of the most exciting birding regions in southern Africa, the Soutpansberg
 With over 540 recorded species, and the majority residents, the Soutpansberg Mountains makes for an all year round birders paradise.
Black Eagles nest in sight of the lodge, whilst other raptors such as Bateleurs, Buzzards and Giant Eagle Owls sore above.
Black-fronted Bush-Shrike, Blue-spotted Wood-Dove, Golden-backed Pytelia, Cape Vulture, 2 subspecies of Peregrine Falcon, Black Stork and the Bat Hawk, all on South Africa's Red Data bird species list, occur in the area.
Lesser found species tend to be easier to see in this area, these include the Pink-throated Twinspot, Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher, Narina Trogon, Purple-crested Lourie and flocks of exquisite Crested Guineafowl.
All our guides have a good birding knowledge, however a specialist bird guide (registered with Birdlife South Africa) can be orgainised who will not only guide you around our reserve, but other birding sites in the Soutpansberg Mountains, Louis Trichardt and Venda.
