Description
A short 2.5 hour drive or 1 hour flight from Lanseria Airport is all that separates the fast-paced metropolis of Johannesburg from the calm green eden that is Welgevonden Private Game Reserve. Cool refreshments await your arrival at the main gate where you will transfer to your open game vehicle and leave the city behind.
elgevonden Private Game Reserve consists of 42 000 hectares of unspoiled African bushveld ranging from rocky outcrops where the leopards watch from their hidden crevices to wide open savannah where the herds of Zebra, Wildebeest and Impala abound. The Reserve is transected by the three main rivers that meander quietly through densly wooded areas on their way to joining the mighty Limpopo River.
It is part of the larger United Waterberg Biosphere and is entirely Malaria Free. Founded in 1993, The Reserve is one of the largest private investments in conservation in the world. Welgevonden supports 75 species of animals, including the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhinoceros) and over 350 species of birds. It boasts an amazing variety of antelope from the dainty Klipspringer to the mighty Eland and is home to the largest private population of white rhinoceros in the world.
Game viewing is done in specially designed open vehicles equipped with elevated seating and adequate protection from the elements. Foot tracking is also available for those wishing to experience a more intimate relationship with the bush and its fauna. The paths to the main game lodge and between the chalets offer tantalizing glimpses of the waterhole situated just in front of the game lodge.
The main game lodge has a large viewing sundeck where guests are welcome to bide away the time. The crystal clear swimming pool is blessedly cool and inviting on hot summer days under the African sun. The central dining room, bar, outdoor boma and gym are all situated in or around the main game lodge and are easily accessible from the chalets. A nearby chalet houses a well stocked library and entertainment centre that also serves as an exclusive venue for small corporate retreats.
