In the heart of Gauteng, lies Dinokeng – ‘a place of two rivers’, where you will find the amazing KwaThabisile. Wake up in the morning to game grazing peacefully under your bedroom window; enjoy sunset drinks overlooking the valley and watch various animals live in the bush nearby. The game in the area includes kudu, zebra, blesbuck, impala, wildebeest, eland, waterbuck, duiker, steenbuck, warthog, porcupine, jackals, caracal, mongoose, vervet monkeys, bushbaby, baboon, reptiles, snakes, frogs, and tortoises. There is a range of activities close to the lodge that will delight and occupy visitors for many hours upon a time. Visit Ostrich Paradise, Lion Camp or Roodeplaat dam; go to Cullinan and enjoy a wonderful diamond tour or a relaxing game of golf; the Kollonade shopping centre is close by as is the gaming haven of the Carousel Casino. The old Thabisile farmhouse was originally built by Italian war prisoners and has since been converted into 3 self-catering units. In case you need any amenity, there are shops, a liquor store, butchery and petrol station just 2km away.

The Berlin Falls is a waterfall in Mpumalanga, South Africa. They are located close to God’s Window and the highest waterfall in South Africa’s Mpumalanga province, Lisbon Falls. The Berlin Falls cascade from the centre of a sheer cliff that stands roughly 80m tall. The shape of the falls is likened to a giant candle. A narrow, natural channel at the top of the falls creates the ‘wick’ of the candle, and as the water drops from this point, it fans out creating the rest of the candle before emptying out into the pool below. Berlin Falls gets its name from miners who ventured to South Africa from Europe during the gold rush and named each waterfall in the region after their home towns, or places from their home countries. The falls are on the Sabine River and fall 80 metres (260 ft), dumping into a circular basin flanked by red cliffs.
