Welgevonden Private Game Reserve, The Waterberg

Malaria-Free Safaris in the Waterberg

The 34,000 hectare Welgevonden Private Game Reserve is situated about a 3 hour drive north from Johannesburg, in the Waterberg Plateau, and is completely malaria-free.

Rhino Calf And Mother Meaning ‘well found’, the Reserve is a place of pure and rugged beauty. Rolling wooded mountains are cut by deep rocky ravines and majestic gorges, making for spectacular scenery which guests can enjoy alongside the plentiful wildlife and prolific birdlife.

Welgevonden is home to over 50 different mammals, including the Big Five – lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo. There are rare and unusual species too, such as brown hyena, aardwolf and aardvark – all best seen at night. The grassy plains abound with antelope from the largest eland to the diminutive duiker. The Reserve is also home to well as over 300 bird species, including rare blue cranes.

Welgevonden Game Viewing - Lions On The Road Guests can enjoy morning and afternoon guided game drives through the reserve, but unlike other private reserves, Welgevonden protects its unique and special environment and as such the game drive vehicles are restricted to the large road network within the Reserve. No private vehicles are permitted, which ensures minimal human impact and the ultimate wilderness experience. Historically, wildlife on the Reserve has never been hunted so the wildlife are fully accustomed to the game viewing vehicles.

There is also ancient Bushman rock art on Welgevonden.

Welgevonden offers the discerning visitor something completely different. This is mountain bushveld with rivers running through it and sweeping views to far horizons. The high altitude, temperate climate and the appealing fact that it is malaria-free makes it worth a visit all year round.

Welgevonden is certainly one of the finest places to watch wildlife, sense wilderness and touch the spirit of true Africa.
