Tshwene Lodge Game Viewing and Activities
Welgevonden Private Game Reserve boasts prolific birdlife and the reserve has become a sanctuary for many rare animals offering incredible game viewing. Game drives are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles. The 460km of roads traverse the entire reserve and ensure minimal contact with other reserve visitors whilst on game drives. Following one of the largest game relocation programmes ever undertaken on private land, Welgevonden once again became home to the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. This reserve has many species of antelope; including, zebra, giraffe, baboon, hyena and wild dog. Perennial waters hide crocodile and offer sustenance to a huge variety of birds. Take a game drive at dawn or dusk, and experience the excitement of the Big Five and so much more, up close. Night game drives are a highlight and gourmet dinners are served in the traditional boma for unique African flare.
