Full Description

Tshwene Game Lodge indulges you with understated luxury, one of the few Bush game lodges in the Welgevonden game Reserve to accommodate bigger groups without compromising exclusivity. Our sister lodge Ekuthuleni is in close proximity,with each lodge catering for 10 people at a time or 5 singles, with a combined maximum group size of 20 or 10 singles. There is however no conference facilities, with the exception of an informal arrangement at Ekuthuleni Lodge.

Your accommodation allows you to unwind in the comfort of a double or twin room with bathroom en-suite, an indoor and private outdoor shower, a secluded entertainment area with breathtaking views of the African bush. Listen to the calls of a passing herd of elephant ,from your private wooden deck or take in the warm african sunset as it sinks over the horizon, in this malaria free  paradise. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool in the heat of the day or lounge on the deck with a reviving drink!

Experienced rangers who will provide intimate details of the abundant flora and fauna and take you on a game drive at dawn or dusk. Experience the excitement of viewing the big five and more as the sunrises before setting back for a scrumptious breakfast at the lodge. The night life will gaze at you as the dangers of the nocturnal animals intrigue you and predators stalk prey in the still darkness of the African bush. Retire to a traditional gourmet dinner or traditional bush boma dinner.

The Area and Reserve:

The Waterberg, named by the early trekkers for its abundance supply of clear water. Eugene Marais, the noted author and father of African ecology, observed that the passage of wagons was impeded by the enormous amount of water to be found throughout the region. The name is apt, for in times of good rain, one will find a continual seepage and flow of water from within these mountain ranges.

The three conservation areas of Waterberg Nature Conservancy, of which Lapalala Wilderness and Marakele National Park creating the Welgevonden Game Reserve - a reserve which is going to play a major role in wildlife conservation, covering an area of over 1400 square kilometres, and represent the flagship of a future conservation vision: restoring the wildlife, protecting the environment, providing employment opportunities, upliftment, pleasure, relaxation and learning for those who too would venture into this wilderness world of the Waterberg.

Welgevonden is an now an exclusive nature reserve where the finest is freely available and privacy is a right. Over 40,000 hectares of private game reserve, adjoining the Marakele National Park, have become a landmark conservation area - and with game soon to be moving freely between Marakele and Welgevonden.

Following one of the largest game relocation programmes ever undertaken on private land, Welgevonden once again became home to the "big five" - lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. This malaria-free reserve has many species of antelope, zebra, giraffe, baboon, hyena, wild dog, and other fauna foraging on planes and verdant slopes, while perennial waters hide crocodile and offers sustenance to a huge variety of birds.
