RIVERHORSE LODGE

Riverhorse Lodge is a new eco-tourism retreat situated in the Greater Cradle Nature Reserve (GCNR) just outside Johannesburg. The privately owned reserve is located in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind, which was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1999. It lies within a reserve that is home to two world famous paleo-anthropological sites.

The lodge has been built on a lake and is surrounded by an indigenous forest, a pristine Highveld landscape and free-roaming animals, birds and clear springs. In keeping with the strict sustainability ethos of the GCNR, the lodge operates on a fully green ecosystem.

As part of the package, there is a guided human origins tour visiting the Malapa fossil viewing platform and the Malapa museum, built in partnership with the Lee Berger Foundation for Exploration, the Cradle Foundation and National Geographic. Guests can also enjoy wildlife expeditions, bush walks, birding hikes and the opportunity to delve into the region’s natural history.

All profits generated from the lodge feed back into ensuring the sustainability of the Greater Cradle Nature Reserve in perpetuity.
