the place in between
KatiKati Eco Lodge
Swahili is the original language from which most African indigenous languages originated. KatiKati is the Swahili word for “in between”. This state of mind and being applies to our eco lodge on many different levels.
Welcome to KatiKati Eco Lodge, nestled amid the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains on the eastern escarpment of Mpumalanga,
South Africa. As the name KatiKati suggests, we exist in a unique
place, embracing the essence of "in between".
We are ideally situated between the Kruger National Park and the picturesque Panorama
Tourism Route, offering you a gateway to discover the region's
most captivating wonders. Close enough to town to enjoy all the attractions, activities and amenities offered by city life, but in a quiet valley where the tranquil sounds of nature is all you hear.
As we evolve, we embrace sustainable
growth and eco-consciousness. Witness the transformation of our lodge as we
diligently work towards constructing and enhancing more eco-friendly units as well as a small events-venue, enveloped by a tranquil garden adorned with indigenous trees. Committed to preserving our environment, we aspire to become entirely
self-sufficient and off-the-grid in terms of energy supply and recycling of
waste, while restoring nature on the farm.
At KatiKati, our heart is in our people – a warm
and accommodating community where individuals of different backgrounds and
cultures come together, embracing love, kindness, and unconditional acceptance.
Whether you're a local explorer or an international traveler on business or
leisure, traveling solo, with family, or in the company of friends, we invite
you to find solace and familiarity within our lodgings.
