Best hotels in Welgevonden Game Reserve

Game Lodge, situated in the malaria-free Welgevonden Game Reserve in the Waterberg, is both luxurious and child friendly. Private and exclusive (the lodge has recently been renovated), it's the perfect wilderness retreat for families and small groups wanting to explore the bushveld on guided game drives to see the abundant wildlife. And you can expect great sightings at this 34,000-plus-hectare Big Five Reserve. A major attraction, also newly constructed, is the underground waterhole hide in front of the lodge, which allows guests to get close to the animals as they drink.

Forming part of the Waterberg massif in Limpopo province, the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere Reserve is home to reserves and settlements which work together to create an ecosystem that supports both wilderness and humans. One of the largest reserves in the biosphere is Welgevonden ("well found"), a 38,000-hectare swathe of malaria-free wilderness that supports the Big Five and a plethora of other creatures. On its eastern edge is Nungubane Game Lodge, one of the best of the dozen or so lodges in the reserve. Head here for good accommodation, rugged scenery, and great wildlife sightings – at a competitive price.
