Hunting farms near Lephalale, Thabazimbi and Alldays build <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapas</a> and rondavels for guests. Polokwane and Tzaneen homeowners ask for garden lapas and thatched carports.

Thatch in Limpopo
Limpopo is game lodge country. The private reserves around Hoedspruit and the Kruger side near Phalaborwa, and the Waterberg plateau near Vaalwater and Lephalale, are full of thatched chalets, dining bomas, reception buildings and staff housing. Hunting farms and bush camps across the bushveld add lapas and rondavels by the dozen. Tzaneen and the Magoebaskloof hills are greener, with mist, high rainfall and forest, so thatch there stays damp and grows moss. Polokwane and Mokopane have suburban lapas and thatched homes on smallholdings. Summers are hot, with heavy storms and lightning, and the dry winter months are veld fire season. Lodges in remote reserves often need crews who camp on site.
