Description

Dimalachite River Lodge & Nature Resort is situated on the banks of the Vaal River, 12 km from Parys and 11km from the Vredefort Dome Heritage Site. Dimalachite is named after the Malachite kingfisher that nests along the banks of the Vaal River. Accommodation is offered in luxury lodges, chalets and camping sites.

Guests can make use of the cold water swimming pool or enjoy the other activities that are on offer, including bird watching, mini-golf, trampolines, cycling and paintball target shooting. Children can also make use of the jungle gym that is available.

With deep holes and rapids, Dimalachite is the ideal fishing venue for fly fish fishing and bank fishing. Guests can fish for carp, yellow fish, mud fish and barbel. Fishing at Dimalachite River Lodge & Nature Resort has a strict "catch and release" policy. Rafts can be rented, or you can bring your own. Guided fishing trips can also be arranged.

One of the most popular activities for the more adventurous clients is white-water rafting. We offer an approximate 4 hour long Mild to Wild river rafting trip, as well as the more relaxed about 1,5 hour long Gate to Dome trip. Guests are welcome to partake in a sunset cruise on the rafts and end off with snacks or a bonfire braai.

Dimalachite has oryx, sable antelope, red hartebeest, zebra, duiker, impala, springbok, nyala and kudu on the farm. Self-drive game drives can be booked at reception.

The lodge also offers team-building activities, a boma, and conference facilities for school, corporate and private groups.

Surrounded by water, wildlife and nature, where the call of the fish eagle can be heard from time to time, the lodge offers a tranquil and natural environment in which to relax.
