Welgevonden Game Reserve is situated in the Limpopo Province
of South Africa, just 3 hours drive from Johannesburg.
The concept of Welgevonden Game Reserve was the vision of Pienkes
du Plessis in 1987. As owner of the original Welgevonden farm,
he conceived the idea of extending the area by acquisition of
neighbouring farmland, establishing a nature conservancy, and
returning the land to its original state of wilderness.
Welgevonden Game Reserve is a declared Heritage Site of 33000
hectares situated in the breathtaking Waterberg Biosphere. This
true wildlife environment is home to some of Africa’s most sought
after animal species including one of the largest collections
of white (square-lip) rhino on private land.
Apart from the Big 5, Welgevonden is also home to a wide range
of game and approximately 300 different bird species. Of prime
appeal is the fact that the reserve is malaria-free.
Clearwater Lodge - Kudu Lodge is set overlooking
a vast open area and waterhole with endless mountain views on
the horizon. The abundance of game in front of the lodge provides
continual hours of game viewing from the comfort of your room’s
deck.
