About Us
Between the picturesque towns of Waterval Onder and Waterval Boven in Mpumalanga lies Zongororo, a haven of hospitality and ministry inspired by a message from above and made possible by hearts, hands and feet on earth.
The word ‘Zongororo’ means millipede in the local dialect, Shona. Millipede, in turn, means ‘millions of legs’ which, explains owner Elsa, “teaches us to work together to protect God’s creation and to move steadily towards our goals. It also refers to the train running through the farm, affectionately known as the ‘steel Zongororo’”.
The Zongororo story started in 2009 in response to a call from God to establish a Christian guest farm and ministry. Eleven years later, Zongororo Village of Ministry is a place of restoration, connection, and exploration in and of Christ. It is also testament to more than a decade of inspiration, perspiration, determination, guidance, and assistance from above.
The Farm strives to be a place of Spiritual Rest, Revival & Restoration, a space where changes can take place, where broken hearts can be healed, captives set free and disciples made.

EXCELLENT Based on 160 reviews BlessingAugust 3, 2025.10Verified Exceptional PieterJuly 31, 2025.7.0Verified Very nice overnight stay with friendly staff ☺ We were lucky, we got a private unit away from others. ☹ The road is a bit rough, some units are in a need of a revamp and the linen needs replacement. Cold shower due to NO gas in bottle. ArnaudJuly 28, 2025.8.0Verified Very Good MapasekaJuly 14, 2025.10Verified My stay was fantastic with my family! Great for kids too. Nice and cozy vibes during winter, braai area and gas heater w ☺ I liked that it had everything we needed, especially during the winter season! ☹ The shower nob isn’t so great. We couldn’t facilitate the water too, it was either hot or cold. PitxiJuly 12, 2025.8.0Verified Fantàstic ☺Lloc molt bònic. Gran hospitalitat de tothom tant dels treballadors com de la propietària. I tornaríem. ☹Falten estris de cuina. SylvieJuly 5, 2025.10Verified Exceptional AnonymousJuly 2, 2025.9.0Verified Wonderful ☺ Food was great Hospitality was great. Awesome stop the night before going to KNP. Friendly. The meat is incredible. CornéJune 17, 2025.8.0Verified Mountainous cabin stay ☺ The location was fantastic, with beautiful scenery, friendly staff who are always willing to assist, and lovely hiking trails. Such a quiet environment, with trains passing throughout the day. There is a lovely dam with horses and a donkey. ☹ The double/queen bed creeks with every movement, and you seem to fall to the centre of the bed. The other 3 quarter beds were fantastic. There also appears to be some maintenance that needs to be done. Other than that, the stay was comfortable.
