Welgevonden Private Game Reserve


Ekuthuleni Lodge Location Map

Situated in the heart of the malaria-free 34,000 hectare Welgevonden Private Game Reserve, just 3 hours from Johannesburg, Ekuthuleni Lodge invites you to savour true African luxury. Meaning 'place of peace', the lodge has sweeping views of the savannah plains, and is home to the Big Five and many other species of game.

Two daily game drives are conducted by experienced rangers who will provide intimate details of the abundant flora and fauna, many of which is unique to the Waterberg.

Enjoy an early morning safari and watch Africa awaken in front of your eyes, then head home for a scrumptious breakfast before settling down for your midday siesta.

On the afternoon drive, after sundowner drinks, allow the darkness of the African bush to envelop you. Nightlife abounds in the African bush and lions on the hunt and leopards stalking prey in the cover of darkness are truly magnificent sights to behold.

In between game drives, relax next to the swimming pool with an expansive view of the sweeping grassy plains, or watch the sun as its sets at the end of another incredible day.

If the weather is cool, curl up with a book in one of the comfortable lounges, before enjoying a delicious meal in the cozy dining room or the open-air deck, sheltered from the elements by a reed awning.

Each of the 5 suites offer intimacy and privacy, with magnificent views of the grasslands, giving a whole new meaning to nature on your doorstep. The romantic bathrooms open onto a private courtyard and have both indoor and outdoor showers.

There is also a family suite that boasts 2 bathrooms and an additional loft area which accommodates 2 single beds.
