South Africa is famous for its beautiful wildlife; Limpopo is one of the many places here that have amazing game parks, wildlife, open skies, enormous trees, gushing waterfalls, and never-ending wilds. But that’s not all! There are other amazing things, and extraordinary experiences that are about to open if you decided to go to Africa. Many think of land-living animals when we heard the words wildlife and game parks, but that’s not all it offers. Activities like fishing in Limpopo family resorts can be done as well. Limpopo is a great place to experience such activities either for leisure or for sport. Here are some of the best fishing lodges in Limpopo, South Africa.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location with easy access to fishing spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 11, 2024.

Wetlands Country Lodge is a self-catering cottage in Dullstroom’s peaceful landscapes. The standout feature of the lodge is the fully stocked trout Limpopo fishing dams that are perfect for fly-fishing enthusiasts. Pets are welcome too! The lack of a TV adds to the place’s charm and encourages guests to cozy up next to the French fireplace with a book and a cup of coffee.
The lodge is conveniently located near Tonteldoos, a quaint town with a pub, restaurant, and cheese factory. Guests can also enjoy cycling and walking in the beautiful countryside. A braai is available, but guests must bring their own charcoal or firewood.
