About Us
The forest haven of warmth, tranquility and restoration
Welcome to The Hank Maribashoek Adventure Lodge
Nestled just 8.9 km outside Mokopane, in the heart of South Africa’s scenic Waterberg region, The Hank Maribashoek Adventure Lodge offers guests a serene and luxurious retreat surrounded by nature and wildlife. Located in the Limpopo Province—one of South Africa’s richest agricultural areas—the region produces wheat, tobacco, cotton, maize, peanuts, citrus, and beef.
Mokopane, formerly known as Potgietersrus, was established in 1852 by the Voortrekkers and named in honour of their leader, Piet Potgieter.
This area is not only agriculturally rich but also geologically and historically significant. Mokopane lies on the edge of the UNESCO-declared Waterberg Biosphere Reserve—a mountainous and ecologically unique region that supports a diverse array of wildlife and plant species.
