Emfuleni: In the River

Ah, the wild, wild North! Emfuleni Lodge defines what it means to be free. Elevated over the Platbos river the lodge provides an immersive experience of the surrounding trees and bush. With a large viewing deck and a plunge pool the only thing between you and the wonder of Africa is your champagne glass, or camera. View all we have to offer from The Rock, a unique location to Emfuleni, where you can absorb the experience in solitude or with company. Emfuleni gives you comfortable, calm serene views over the rushing river for which it is named. The main lodge has an open-plan lounge and dining area both with stacking doors opening up to the deck and open tree canopy. The large viewing deck has a lounge area and deck chairs overlooking the river below. The rooms are spread around the main lodge providing privacy for all the guests each with a deck and en-suite bathroom. The Boma area provides an ideal spot for evening dinner around the open fire.

LOCATION

Welgevonden Game Reserve

MAJESTIC BIG 5 GAME VIEWING

Rolling wooded mountains cut by deep rocky ravines and majestic gorges make Welgevonden Game Reserve an evocative piece of Africa. Aptly meaning ‘well found’, this is a place of rare and rugged beauty, plentiful wildlife and prolific birdlife. Spectacular scenery and excellent game viewing make Welgevonden quite unlike anywhere else on earth. To visit here is to experience the spirit of true wilderness.

A pleasant 2.5-hour drive or an easy 45-minute flight from Johannesburg into one of the airstrips, makes Welgevonden one of the most accessible premier malaria free wilderness reserves in the country. Welgevonden Game Reserve, (Dutch for "well found"), is a 34,850 ha game reserve in the Waterberg District, of the Limpopo Province of South Africa.
