As part of South Africa’s investment drive and the sustainability of supply and demand in enabling growth in the tourism sector, the Industrial Development Corporation of SA (IDC) along with the Government Communication Information System (GCIS), invites you to an exclusive media tour to the launch of the Orpen Kruger Lodge in Mpumalanga. The Orpen Kruger Lodge is a milestone of years of toil by the Muthlwarheni Cooperative of Welverdiend Community. 

Since 2001, the cooperative has been engaged in efforts to uplift its community by setting up tourism value chain activities in this unique land bordering the Manyeleti Game Reserve and the Kruger National Park (KNP). 

Over the years, the cooperative has been supported by various organisations and government institutions, including The Mnisi Tribal Authority, The Bushbuckridge Local Municipality, the National Department of Tourism, and the Mpumalanga Parks and Tourism Agency.

This hotel is now a proud partnership, funding, and investments by the Muthlwarheni Cooperative, Mont’Dor Clares, and the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), supported by Indalo Inclusive South Africa. The media tour is organised to provide insight into the investment to boost the tourism market in Mpumalanga.
