Fri, 31 Mar 2023
The Entabeni Conservancy (dubbed The Place of the Mountain) is a paradise for nature enthusiasts, offering stunning views and an abundance of natural landscapes to explore. The area is particularly known for its biosphere reserve, which boasts breathtaking scenery and pristine bush environments that have given rise to eco-tourism in the area.
Monomotapa Village at Legend Golf & Safari Resort, located within the Entabeni Reserve, is an excellent base for exploring the area. With the majestic Hanglip Mountain as a backdrop, the region is an ideal destination if you're looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of the Limpopo Province.
Holiday Pitfall #1: Packing too much
You don't need five pairs of shoes for a two week holiday! A holiday is a time for rest and relaxation - you'll probably never need those extra pairs of heels or red cowboy boots. Pack a pair of boots, sneakers/comfortable walking shoes and informal shoes (sandals/ballet pumps/flip flops - depending on your style). The same goes for clothing. If you wear it to work, you probably won't wear it on holiday. Pack comfortable clothes that can take you from a day outing to an evening dinner.
Making the most of the tranquil surroundings
For holidaymakers seeking a minimalist escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, the tranquil surroundings of this region offer an idyllic retreat. Here's our list of 3 minimalist activities to help you recharge, refresh, and reset during your stay at the Entabeni Reserve.
1. Picnics beside the dam at Monomotapa Village
Cell phones, tablets and digital cameras have made it very easy to capture precious memories. However, don't get carried away with taking too many photos that you forget to take in the scenery, the environment, the people around you, the sounds, and most importantly, the people you're travelling with.
2. Nature walks in the Entabeni Conservancy
A nature walk on the Entabeni Conservancy is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beautiful landscape while also experiencing the rich biodiversity of the region. As you explore the sprawling savannahs, you'll be surrounded by a rich tapestry of plants, including Marula, Wild Syringa, and Black Monkey Thorn (among others), and teeming with a variety of small amphibians and reptiles; each contributing to the diversity of the ecosystem.
3. A Twitcher's Paradise
With its lush vegetation and diverse habitats, Entabeni Conservancy is a mecca for bird lovers, boasting over 400 bird species. You might be lucky enough to spot a variety of unique birds including Rock Martins, African Hawk Eagles, Rock Kestrels, Black Eagles, and Crested Guineafowl, among others.
