Our reserve is one of the only 4-star in this area! Nestling in the shadows of the Waterberg Mountains, near Bela-Bela (formerly Warmbaths) in Limpopo Province, Thaba Pitsi is Malaria free private game reserve of 500 hectare. It takes less than 2 hours to reach Thaba Pitsi from Johannesburg and less than one hour thirty minutes from Pretoria, travelling via the national Polokwane (formerly Pietersburg) highways N1 North.
Thaba Pitsi Lodge with his Ndebele bungalows and his luxury tented Camp, up there on the hill, in the hart of the nature reserve, speak of sweet dreams under the stars of the African sky (4-Star SABS Grading).

L?Orange Bleue, the restaurant of Thaba Pitsi Nature Reserve has earned a proud reputation for its excellent service and fine cuisine (Best restaurant in Limpopo - awarded a Bibendum by Michelin guide NEOS, as well as four stars in the 2003-04-05 edition of Magazine s Top 100 South African restaurants - Selected by BBC Food program as being one of the best Restaurant of SA - selected for Off the Menu BBC show), complimented by a selection of quality wines, popular liqueurs and imported cigars ? for connoisseurs of good living!

From Wine magazine?s "TOP 100 restaurants 2004":
"If Warmbaths is mentioned in your guide" says the Michelin Guide for South Africa, "it is due to Thaba Pitsi...". The couple who left Belgium to bring this unlikely spot to the gastronomic world?s attention, are Marc (formerly an international rally driver) and Nathalie (a former model). Their restaurant L?Orange Bleue received a Bibendum smiling face signifying quality.
Housed in a rebuild farmhouse with a vivid interior, modern furniture and an open-plan kitchen, the restaurant is rescued from the pages of a designer magazine by a quirky sense of humour. The food is simplicity at its best.....

Moreover, we are proud to announce that Thaba Pitsi has been included in the SLEEPOVER (the Good Lodge Guide) as being part of the Top 10* of the most beautiful lodges in Mpumalanga, North-West Province and Limpopo Province. Only 3 lodges upon 10 are situated in our province.
