Berchtesgaden Game Ranch & Lifestyle Farm: A unique African bushveld experience in Limpopo

Berchtesgaden Game Ranch & Lifestyle Farm

Berchtesgaden Game Ranch & Lifestyle Farm, in Vaalwater, Limpopo, offers a unique blend of luxury accommodation and wildlife experiences in the untouched beauty of the African wilderness where a multitude of activities and adventures await.

It’s no wonder Berchtesgaden Game Ranch & Lifestyle Farm is much loved by both local and international travellers for its pristine ecosystems, an abundance of wildlife, sustainable farming methods and luxurious accommodation.

The ranch is home to a variety of African wildlife – including impala, blue wildebeest, cape eland, greater kudu, blesbuck, gemsbuck, zebra, giraffe, warthog, bushpig, nyala, silver-back jackal, baboons and guinea fowl. Thus, the ranch is popular with hunters engaging in biltong hunting and trophy hunting.

Expect an out-of-city experience where guests can feel at home. Your hosts have made this reserve perfect for your enjoyment including putting in place various Covid-19 protocols to ensure your ease of mind during your time with them.

Needless to say, many of their previous guests had many wonderful things to say about the hospitality, facilities and their overall experiences at Berchtesgaden.

Accommodation at Berchtesgaden Game Ranch & Lifestyle Farm

The Luxury Chalets are en-suite single, double and queen units that you will find furnished in luxuries ensuring the most comfortable stay even in the African bushveld. They are the perfect accommodation option for both couples and families alike.

If you prefer to live closer to nature like the early hunters and pioneers, choose their Luxury Safari Tents. These units offer three luxury en-suite twin bed / combined units with the same style and comfort as the chalets. However, unlike the chalets, you wake up to wild game on your doorstep.

Their Bush Camp will meet all your camping and caravanning needs. It features a braai area and a fresh water reservoir on a cleared stand in the untouched bushveld.

Companies seeking to take their team building away from the city will love their Corporate Retreat. I cannot think of any other place from where you can focus, strategize or regroup as a group than in the splendour of the African bushveld at Berchtesgaden.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
