Be absorbed by the Venda Culture, steeped in legends, filled with water spirits, guardians of hidden lakes and secret burial places.
According to Venda tradition King Thohoiyanda mysteriously disappeared with his sacred drum. Neither were ever seen again. Legend has it that the drum can sometimes be heard in the echoes of the cliffs surrounding Mashovhela pool.
Listen for the beat of King Thohoiyanda's drum at Mashovhela rock pool, the second most sacred place in Venda folklore. And when the sun begins to set, drums will call you to join in with drumming and dance to honour the dinner about to be served at our Venda styled, Mashovhela Lodge.
Venture into silent mystical indigenous forests and to hidden lakes of Venda not general advertised to tourists with our registered guide or let him lead you on a nature walk that studies not only the fauna and flora, but man's past sustainable use of the bush for food and medicines.
