At Dithõlõ Lodge, our personal reward has always been to witness not only the wellbeing of our clients but also importantly the wellbeing of our animals through our passion for nature conservation. A full range of wildlife and birdlife breeding projects have been undertaken at Dithõlõ, namely Hippo, Buffalo, Rhino, Sable and Nyala. These breeding projects have been very successful and a reward of the African bushveld. There have of course been times of concern during periods of drought but we have been fortunate enough to continue our work with the breeding projects, supplementing the feed and fortify with enriched feed to bolster their immune systems. A unique breed introduced this year to the farm is the White Blesbok which have relocated quite comfortably. Our hippo family started as three, Mom, Dad and child who now are five with one on the way. We are also looking forward to an additional Buffalo baby also due shortly.
We are a member of the Wildlife Ranching Association of South Africa and co-operate closely and adhere to the environmental regulations for nature conservation in the Limpopo Province and South Africa.
