Welcome

Lapalala Wilderness, a vast privately-owned nature reserve, is situated in the mountains of the Waterberg 3½ hours from Johannesburg.

Clear, natural rivers run through bush-covered hills and craggy ravines, and the reserve is home to animals such as rhino (both white and black), buffalo, hippo, giraffe, crocodile, leopard, baboons and many sorts of antelope. The reserve was founded in 1981 and is now a part of the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve.

Lapalala Wilderness School

Most Recent: Ridgeway College - 2 February 2010

The grade 8 class from Ridgeway College from Louis Trichardt visited Lapalala Wilderness School for the first time in 2010. The group was enthusiastic and tackled all challenges thrown at them with good humour, even being drenched in a sudden rainstorm. We hope to see them again in 2011.
