Wealth is a relative term, but lodges are indeed expensive, and many wealthy owners possess them. Some owners have earned their money to purchase lodges, while others may not be wealthy but have inherited them, with their wealth tied up in the property. One thing is certain: they don’t make land anymore. Pristine landscapes with a balanced and healthy ecosystem are rare, and those who desire them the most and can afford them will own them. The weather in Hoedspruit is warm and generally sunny. We do not have the cold winters like other parts of the country, and we are not prone to windy conditions like coastal areas.
