Lake Fundudzi is a sacred site for 7 local communities. Situated in the heart of the Soutpansberg it is a rarity as one of the few true inland lakes in South Africa. However, erosion, deforestation, and poor agricultural practices are causing the lake to silt up.
Lake Fundudzi can be found on the R523 between Thohoyandou and Louis Trichardt, surrounded by the mythical Thathe Vondo forest. Trips to the lake shore are traditionally rarely granted to visitors, which is probably just as well as it is said to be infested with crocodiles.
