Welgevonden Private Game Reserve has become a wonderful weekend destination where you can savor a true African experience not far from Johannesburg, it is only 3 hours drive north, and it is also malaria-free.


Here guests enjoy unlimited traversing through the reserve and experience an environment where biodiversity conservation and game viewing are managed in harmony. Welgevonden protects a unique and special environment and the reserve’s management is deeply committed to ongoing conservation research and development.

Comprising of 36,000 hectares of unspoiled Waterberg mountain bushveld, the spectacular topography of river valleys, open plains, deep kloofs and undulating hills provides a breathtaking backdrop to an extremely rewarding game viewing experience.

The climate of the Waterberg area can be described as warm temperate with three distinct seasons. From May to July it is dry, Ground frosts occur regularly, particularly in low-lying areas. From August to October, daily temperatures begin to rise, and although generally dry, occasional thunderstorms develop. The annual wet season extends from November to April.
