OUR GUESTS SAY

"Lupela means 'where the road ends' and I can assure you that you really won't want to travel further once you see the beautiful stretch of stream that runs sparkling in the sun below the lodge."

Lupela Lodge is situated in a peaceful and scenic valley in the Witteberg Mountains and is hidden in a gorge that opens into a wide valley of green pastures and sandstone mountainsides. Awesome fly-fishing, warm hospitality and great food keep Lupela's guests returning year after year.
