Modjadji Cultural Camp
Modjadji Cycad Reserve, Limpopo
Modjadji Cultural Camp provides visitors an interesting combination of cultural and natural activities. It’s situated in the Modjadji Cycad Reserve where guests have the opportunity of walking through the ancient cycad forest. Called the Modjadji Palm, visitors can view the largest concentration of a single cycad species in the world. There is a cycad nursery, picnic sites, trails through the forest and an information centre.
Traditionally this area was considered the garden of the Rain Queen – the matriarchal leader of the Lobedu dynasty. Visitors to Modjadji can arrange a visit to the Royal Kraal, and for those visiting the area during the spring, attending the Rain Making festivals of the locals Indunas can be a fascinating experience.
