About Bougasvlei Safaris
A family-run hunting and eco-friendly lodge destination in the malaria-free bushveld of Thabazimbi, Limpopo, South Africa.
A family passion for the Limpopo bushveld
Bougasvlei Safaris is a family-run hunting and lodge destination set in the malaria-free bushveld of Thabazimbi, in South Africa's Limpopo province. What began as a love for the wild has grown into a premium safari experience welcoming hunters, families and corporate guests from across South Africa and around the world.
We believe a great safari is about more than the hunt. It's the warmth of being hosted personally, the comfort of an eco-friendly lodge, home-cooked meals around the fire, and the timeless beauty of the African bushveld. Every detail is designed so you can simply relax, hunt and reconnect.
