TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

"Our stay at Ilanga Lodge was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views of the dam and the expansive deck where we spent most of our time relaxing and soaking in the beauty of the African bush. The lodge staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring that our every need was met. The game drives were a highlight, especially when we witnessed a herd of elephants playing in the dam right in front of the lodge. This place is a hidden gem, and we can't wait to return!"

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.
