Our Newest Lodge On The Limpopo River

JPH River Lodge is our most remote lodge, situated directly on the banks of the Limpopo River, bordering Zimbabwe. This region offers a truly wild, untamed hunting experience, far from the noise of the city and deep within one of South Africa’s most game-rich frontiers.

  • Just a 45-minute flight from OR Tambo International Airport to Polokwane, followed by a 2-hour scenic drive to the lodge
  • Only 1 hour from Kruger National Park — perfect for guests looking to add a world-renowned wildlife experience to their trip

This area is known for its vast, remote hunting concessions, covering up to 60,000 acres and over 20 miles of prime Limpopo River frontage. Elephants roam freely, and sightings of hippo and crocodile are frequent along the riverbanks.

For bow hunters, the unique terrain and ecosystem in this region allow for closer encounters and a higher success rate, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a more challenging and rewarding hunt.
