Sekala Private Game Lodge is an exclusive lodge within the Welgevonden Game Reserve, which is home to the Big Five and is found within the Waterberg Biosphere, just two hours north of Pretoria. Guests can look forward to an uninterrupted early morning sunrise vista off the main deck while having a coffee to awaken the senses. The bush comes alive on your early morning game drives and it is not uncommon to see Lion or Elephant just a stone’s throw from the game-viewing vehicle going through their early morning routines. Sekala Private Game Lodge is a family-friendly fully catered private lodge that can be booked as individuals and couples or booked in its entirety (the whole lodge) providing you and your guests a truly private and exclusive experience. The main lodge consists of an expansive open-plan lounge and dining area together with a bar and outside entertainment area. The swimming pool is uniquely sculptured from the African rock and a perfect place to unwind after the early morning game drive. In addition, there is a Boma where you can enjoy dinner around a fire whilst regaling stories of the day and surrounded by the night sky blanketed with stars. Sekala Lodge also has a private executive family suite which includes its own separate en-suite bedroom an adjoining lounge with 2 single beds for accompanying children together with its own living area and private pool. The executive suite is available on special request.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

"Our time at Sekala Private Game Lodge was an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Welgevonden Game Reserve. Nothings beats sitting on the main deck, sipping coffee as the African sunrise paints the sky. Those early morning game drives brought us up close to lions and elephants, making each moment feel deeply personal. The lodge's family-friendly atmosphere and the refreshing rock-sculptured pool added to the overall warmth and charm of the experience."

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.
