Kurisa Moya is an amazingly beautiful nature lodge in the Northern / Limpopo Province of South Africa. This haven is nestled in the Northern Drakensberg escarpment and overlooks the breathtaking Kudu's River Valley and is only 45 minutes from the city of Pietersburg / Polokwane and 20 minutes from the mountain village of Haenertsburg and the beautiful Magoebaskloof.  This piece of paradise, truly embodies its Xitsonga name, Kurisa Moya, meaning Tranquil Spirit as it is a place where you can revive your soul.  

The farm measures 422 hectares of extraordinary landscape. Because the farm is situated between the lowveld and the highveld, it enjoys the benefits of both climates and environments. A beautiful indigenous forest nestles in the valley and is home to a large variety of lovely birds, animals and flora. Large stretches of pine plantations give way to African bushveld on the lower part of the farm where two dams are fed by clean mountain streams.

Activities at Kurisa Moya include birding, hiking and trout fishing in dams where otters and water birds are also found. Samango monkeys, baboons, bushbuck, bushbabies, vervet monkeys, warthogs and bushpigs are often seen or heard on the hiking trails or from the farmhouse. In addition the the trails, Ben and Lisa also offer cranio-sacral therapy, guided bird and nature walks, fly-fishing lessons abseiling, mountain biking and chair massages... to name a few services.

Our vision at Kurisa Moya is to provide an opportunity for people to enjoy the unique beauty Kurisa Moya has to offer and to develop Kurisa Moya to its fullest potential in terms of lodges, retreats, workshops and seminars, farming, forestry, hiking, fishing , etc, without sacrificing the wild beauty of the place.
