Two self-contained wooden log cabins sit high in the canopy of the indigenous forest. From your private deck, three metres up, you are eye-to-eye with the Samango Monkeys picking the ripe fruit from nearby trees and can watch the crimson flash of Knysna Turacos (louries) soaring past. You may see bushpigs and bushbuck drinking from the stream below, or vervet monkeys peering in your bedroom window.

Each cabin has a fully-equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a view. The cabins accommodate a couple comfortably but can sleep up to four, with a double bed downstairs and two single beds in the loft. You can gaze into the forest from your deck, or enjoy the comfort of the fireplace in colder weather. Either way, the views of the forest are spectacular and the privacy complete. The tranquility is only broken by the cries of the Samango monkeys by day and the bushbabies and wood owls at night. Kurisa Moya Nature Lodge is near Magoebaskloof and Woodbush in the Limpopo Province, South Africa.  This position extends the indigenous forest on the farm into the Woodbush forest.

The Forest Lodge cabins are luxurious inside and are creatively decorated to emphasise the beautiful surroundings. Enormous windows give you panoramic views of the forest canopy, whether you are cooking up a storm, snuggled up by the fireplace or lounging in bed. 

Escape to a forest
hide-away!

You will gaze out onto century-old trees with moss-covered branches and forest streams surrounded 
by ferns, clivias and orchids. Here you can truly regain your spirit as you tune in to the sounds 
of nature all around you.

Inside the Forest Lodge cabin.

The cabins are fully-serviced once a day and linen, towels and firewood are provided.  The following is provided in the cabin:  linen, towels, soap and hand cream, all kitchen utensils, tea, creamer, coffee, bodum coffee and a bodum plunger, dish-washing liquid, dish cloths and dish towels, firewood and firelighters, matches, torches, Peaceful Sleep and Bayticol spray.

SWIMMING

A most refreshing dip in the Dabchick dam will be a good start to the day or a cool reward after a hike through the forest or over the mountain. It will be a 15 minute walk from the Forest Lodge to get to the dam. 

BIRDING

The farm’s varied habitats are home to about 250 species of birds, including the Narina Trogan, the Black-fronted Bush Shrike, the Green Twinspot and the Buff-spotted Flufftail. The Woodbush area is one of the top birding sites as mentioned in Callan Cohen, Claire Spottiswood and Jonathan Rossouw's book South African Birdfinder and in Hugh Chittendin’s book, Top Birding Spots in Southern Africa.   Co-owner, Ben de Boer, the co-ordinator of the Greater Limpopo Birding Routes is an avid birder and can offer birders great advice. Guided walks or outings in the area can be organized with renowned local guide, David Letsoalo, who is based at Kurisa Moya.  

FISHING

Our dam is stocked with trout and Haenertsburg is a nationally renowned trout fishing area and access can be organized to various dam and river venues where both rainbow and brown trout may be caught.
