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. Seventeen 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 146 reviews Posted on JohannesFebruary 8, 2026.Verified Prachtig plekje met relaxte sfeer ☺ Leuke ontvangst, mooi uitzicht en relaxte sfeer met als bonus het zwembad ☹ Het bed was een beetje hard en relatief smalPosted on WillemansJanuary 19, 2026.Verified It was wonderful I'd definitely recommend them for a nature escape from the city ☺ The stay was very nice, friendly staff, neat and clean accommodations. The hiking trails was relaxing. And breakfast was absolutely delicious. ☹ Shops is not around the corner, we didn't expect that, but the shop on the premises does cater for meals and sell meat should you want to braai.Posted on NazreenJanuary 10, 2026.Verified Very Good ☺ What a beautiful property... Mountains, trees, hiking trails, ducks, horses and so many sweet doggos who greet you with wagging tails and accompany you on walks ☹ Hot water sometimes ran out quicklyPosted on ElrizeJanuary 8, 2026.Verified Beautiful farm stay with hikes and a swimming pool. ☺ Beautiful farm with very friendly people. We enjoyed taking our dogs for walks, and they set up a bonfire for us on New year's. Very quiet and tranquil place. We played boardgames on our stoep and enjoyed the view. ☹ There were a lack of kitchen tools/ utensils in our chalet, but the staff were friendly enough to allow us to use the lodge kitchen if needed.Posted on SabrinaJanuary 4, 2026.Verified Quiet location for a relaxing break from the city. Great trails for hiking. ☺ The location is very beautiful and quiet, perfect for switching off and relaxing. The dinner was very good. There are great hiking trails and friendly staff. The accommodation has a religious touch. ☹ Very old furnishings, somewhat too old for our taste, but it has its own charm I believe. The pool was dirty and would need some cleaning and fresh water.Posted on SimonaJanuary 1, 2026.Verified Exceptional ☺ Molto rilassante ☹ NullaPosted on TebelloDecember 30, 2025.Verified Very GoodPosted on JeanineDecember 25, 2025.Verified Bliss ☺ Hospitality, scenery 👌🏻Posted on TammyDecember 18, 2025.Verified ExceptionalPosted on UdoDecember 2, 2025.Verified Wonderful
