Our story
A Legacy in the Making
Our story began with a genuine desire to leave a legacy that would echo through time - for the land, for its wildlife, and for generations to come. We envisioned a place where luxury and sustainability would coexist harmoniously, and where guests could immerse themselves in the untouched beauty of South Africa’s Lapalala Wilderness Reserve. To this end, we have committed to be 100% non-for-profit, thereby giving any proceeds we make back to the Lapalala Wilderness for conservation.
Our story
The beginning
It all started with a vision of creating a different kind of safari lodge—one that operated off the grid, embraced sustainable technologies, and contributed to the land and its people. We wanted to leave a conservation legacy and Lepogo Lodges was born out of that wish.
We pledged that any of our profits would be returned to Lapalala for future conservation projects and then set about creating the most luxurious sustainable lodge we could so that our high rates would yield more profit for future conservation. Our first project was to sponsor the reintroduction of the endangered cheetah onto the reserve, this beautiful animal close to our hearts and at the core of who we are – Lepogo means Cheetah in Sotho.
