Setting Description

Located within the 38,200-hectare Welgevonden Game Reserve in the Limpopo province, Tshwene Lodge offers access to one of South Africa’s premier private game reserves. The reserve is known for its biodiversity, varied landscapes, and the opportunity to encounter the Big Five in a pristine, predator-rich environment without the crowds. Guests can enjoy the exclusivity of traversing rights across the reserve on expertly guided game drives, learning about the ecosystem, and capturing unforgettable wildlife moments. The Waterberg Biosphere forms a dramatic backdrop, with rugged mountains, rolling grasslands, and river valleys providing habitat for a wide variety of species. Beyond wildlife, the reserve offers a sense of true wilderness, enhanced by its malaria-free status and strict conservation ethos.
