It is one of only a handful of sole-use private reserves in South Africa allowing guests full access to the entire reserve and all its facilities. Complete privacy and exclusivity is what Leobo Private Reserve is all about. Leobo, which is the name for chameleon in Northern Sotho is a fitting name for this reserve. Just like this enchanting creature, guests can change their day at the drop of a hat, pretty much do whatever they want and be accommodated by the most obliging staff! The Lodge is located at the top of an escarpment and can sleep up to 18 people in beautiful chalets overlooking the Palala Valley. It’s the perfect destination for a significant celebration, a long-awaited family reunion, small executive getaways or incentivised trips for corporate groups.

The large dining table can seat fourteen people — there is also an outside dining table with a large parasol where you can have any meal with wonderful views over the bush. A covered verandah with large sofas, coupled with the huge deck, provides a number of fantastic places where you can sunbathe or relax in the evening. For a truly African experience, guests can enjoy a succulent braai in the boma. The swimming pool has been carved into the side of a hill and sits perched high – with amazing views of Palala Valley.

Wildlife includes giraffe, zebra, Cape buffalo, hippo and the occasional leopard sighting. An immense variety of buck roam the area: impala, wildebeest, kudu, eland, red hartebeest, blesbok, steenbok, gemsbok, tsessebe and nyala. Horse-riding is also available, led by an experienced guide, at whatever pace you choose. Fishing in one of the dams where the hippos laze is a relaxing pass-time, unless you happen to catch a 2kg bass, which is a regular occurrence and for the more adventurous guest, the privately-owned helicopter can be booked for a breath-taking flight over the mountains and the surrounding valleys. Target shooting with sniper rifles is fun for the competitive guests who enjoy group activities and team-building. ACCOMMODATION LEOBO LODGE Leobo, located at the top of an escarpment, is a safari lodge that can sleep up to 18 people in beautiful chalets overlooking the Palala Valley. Rooms that can accommodate children are available and the lodge is fully staffed. Meals can be enjoyed inside, on the enormous deck complete with sunken seating fire-pit or in the Boma where everybody eats around a fire under the stars. Leobo Lodge is available for exclusive hire all year round. FEATURES AND FACILITIES: Leobo Lodge Heated Swimming Pool Sauna Fully stocked bar Pool Table Table Tennis Music System Wi-Fi Chef Boma Fire Pit Sunset deck TV with Satellite Safe Quad Bikes Motor Bikes Polaris Buggy Telescope Mountain Bikes Game viewing vehicle Game ranger Fishing equipment Horses GENERAL ACTIVITIES There are endless things to do at Leobo Reserve. Our accommodation is rented exclusively to one group at a time. This unparalleled freedom means that you can do as much or as little as you like – and you can do it at your own pace. Here are a bunch of activities which we think you’ll love. Take your pick or enjoy them all... Quad bike safari With 8000 hectares (20,000 acres) of inescapably beautiful Waterberg countryside and with over 240km of tracks, we have a lot of space to play in. We’ve got six sturdy and speedy quad bikes for to enjoy the African wildlife and countryside at a slightly faster pace. You can career around the farm and get to places you never would in a normal game drive car. You can race wildebeest, stop and enjoy the wildlife close up or just be a big boy as you burn around. There’s even a child’s quad bike as well so your little one can come along for the ride. Cross Country Polaris We’ve got an army of quad bikes and they’re great fun. But those who like to live life in the slightly faster lane; we’ve got a beast of a cross-country vehicle called a Polaris that takes things a little further. Strap yourself in for the ride of your life! With eye-popping acceleration, super- spring suspension and hi-spec performance, you can pretty much explore every inch of the Leobo Reserve in this awesome machine - on dirt tracks, across the bumpy bush, through rivers, over rocks - wherever you want. Helicopter flying We highly recommend booking the helicopter for part of your stay. You’ll get the opportunity to see some extraordinary sights from a vantage point that few will see. It also will give your stay a completely different dynamic as some of the most beautiful and remote areas of the estate are only accessible by helicopter. Clay Pigeon Shooting Take part in a shooting race where you can go and try to shoot at a few clays. We take you out and provide you with clays and cartridges. Take aim at these moving targets, squeeze the trigger and feel the shock wave as you watch a bullet rocket away. A fun time guaranteed! Riding Safari There is nothing like taking in the sights and sounds of Africa than on horseback. We’ll saddle you up and give you a guide as you walk, trot or gallop around the farm and really get the chance to see the animals in total peace and tranquillity. Walk through dams (avoiding the hippos), take a picnic and truly absorb the heart of Africa on board your very own steed. GENERAL ACTIVITIES Star Gazing We are blessed with clear skies with no light pollution. The sky is ink black and you will see stars that you have never seen before. We invite a fascinating local astronomer Dr Phil Cal cot to come and give you a spellbinding tour of the stars. With his laser pen at the ready, he will point out stars, planets and constellations. Ask him anything you want: What’s the Big Bang? Where’s Jupiter? Did man really land on the moon? What’s a shooting star? What is a light year? It really is an evening you’ll never forget. Gone fishing Our dams are stocked with a selection of bass and trout and we can provide all the rods and bait you’ll need to hook a fish. Fishing experiences are made exciting by the presence of groups of inquisitive hippo. What could be more relaxing than sipping a drink while fishing in one of the dams, listening to the sound of hippos as the sun goes down? We are proud to report that we regularly catch bass over 2kg. Hippo camping We are lucky enough to have 11 magnificent hippos on the reserve that wallow away all day. And we offer you the chance to sleep just yards away from these magnificent creatures. We have hand-crafted a huge tree house equipped with a 4-man tent above the hippo dam and from here you can feast yourself on a typical South African braai around a roaring fire pit. Game Viewing Leobo is vast reserve teeming with plains game, birdlife, hippos and a crocodile named Stevie. The reserve has none of the big five, making it very safe for families as the children can explore and learn about the bush from Leobo’s expert guides in absolute safety.

    SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF SUCKERMOUTH SPECIES (CHILOGLANIS) WITH EMPHASIS ON THE LIMPOPO RIVER SYSTEM AND IMPLICATIONS FOR WATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. Report to the Water Research Commission by MJ Matlala, IR Bills, CJ Kleynhans & P Bloomer Department of Genetics University of Pretoria WRC Report No. KV 235/10 AUGUST 2010 Obtainable from Water Research Commission Publications Private Bag X03 Gezina, Pretoria 0031 SOUTH AFRICA [email protected] This report emanates from a project titled: Systematics and phylogeography of suckermouth species (Chiloglanis) with emphasis on the Limpopo River System and implications of water management practices (WRC Project No K8/788) DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use ISBN 978-1-77005-940-5 Printed in the Republic of South Africa ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The genus Chiloglanis includes 45 species of which eight are described from southern Africa. The genus is characterized by jaws and lips that are modified into a sucker or oral disc used for attachment to a variety of substrates and feeding in lotic systems. The suckermouths are typically found in fast flowing waters but over varied substrates and water depths. This project focuses on three species, namely Chiloglanis pretoriae van der Horst 1931, C. swierstrai van der Horst 1931 and C. paratus Crass 1960, all of which occur in the Limpopo River System. The suckermouth catfishes have been extensively used in aquatic surveys as indicators of impacts from anthropogenic activities and the health of the river systems.

  • 21. Khoisan Indigenous Toponymic Identity in South Africa
    21. Khoisan indigenous toponymic identity in South Africa Peter E . Raper University of the Free State, South Africa 1. Introduction According to Webster’s Dictionary (Gove 1961: 1151) ‘indigenous’ means ‘not introduced directly or indirectly according to historical record or scientific analysis into a particular land or region or environment from the outside’. In terms of this definition the Bushmen (also called San) and Hottentots (also called Khoikhoi) are the true indigenous inhabitants of Southern Africa. These people, collectively known as the Khoisan, occupied vast areas of the African sub-continent, from the Zambezi Valley to the Cape (Lee and DeVore 1976: 5), for thousands of years (Mazel 1989: 12), and left behind a rich legacy of placenames. However, the Khoisan peoples were pre-literate, and their languages and the names they bestowed were unrecorded until the seventeenth century. The African or ‘Bantu’ peoples migrated southwards in small groups or clans from the Great Lakes regions of Equatorial Africa (Krige 1975: 595–596), reaching the present KwaZulu-Natal between 1,500 and 2,000 years ago (Maggs 1989: 29; Mazel 1989: 13) and settling especially in the northern, eastern and south-eastern parts of the sub-continent. From the late fifteenth century, Portuguese navigators sailed around the coast of Africa, and in 1652 the Dutch established a refreshment station at the Cape of Good Hope, leading to permanent settlement. They were followed by French, British, German and other peoples from Europe and Asia. Each wave of migrants adopted existing placenames, adapting them phonologically and later orthographically, translating some names fully or partially, and bestowing new names in their own language.
