Lephalale Ellis Ras

The last stop on the way to Botswana and the Okavango Delta, the fast-growing bushveld town of Lephalale or Ellisras boasts mesmerising natural vistas, a rich variety of wildlife and an array of leisure activities. Lying on the banks of the Mogol River, the town’s wetlands, wide plains and dramatic sunsets provide the perfect backdrop for hiking, camping, mountain biking, photography and stargazing. Several game farms and nature reserves offer the chance to see the ‘Big Five’, as well as spectacular birdlife, watched easily from a variety of hides. Anglers can enjoy excellent fishing in the Mokolo Dam. Make sure to take in a few rounds of golf at the world-class 18 hole golf course, try the mouth-watering fresh produce from the farms, and visit the Beadle Craft Workshop and Shop to browse the magnificent locally-made leather craft, beadwork and embroidery.
