LOCATION

Milorho Lodge is nestled comfortably on the northern slopes of the Magaliesburgmountains, between Hartbeespoortdam and Rustenburg, which happens to be the second oldest mountain range in the world.

Our pristine and tranquil reserve is home to a large endemic flora system, bursting with a beautiful array of bird and wildlife.

Soul food for birders, botanists, hikers and nature lovers. If you need to relax, de-stress, or find your soul again then this is the place to do it.  To ensure this, we don’t allow music nor radios that could possibly ruin this for you.

‘Milorho’ is the traditional Tsonga word for ‘dreams’ or ‘dreamer’.

We offer over 600 hectares of vast beautiful kloofs and awe-inspiring rock pools for you to experience the freedom of nature through comfortable walks or exciting trails.

Relax and enjoy your freedom.
