Makweti Safari Lodge


5 STAR LIMPOPO LODGE ACCOMMODATION
WELGEVONDEN GAME RESERVE LODGES

Experience the raw, unmatched splendour of Africa at the luxurious Makweti Safari Lodge
in Welgevonden Game Reserve, Limpopo.
The varied wildlife and birdlife are complimented by breathtaking views and an authentically African ambience.

The five-star, malaria-free luxury of Makweti Safari Lodge creates the ideal base from
which to explore the wild terrain that
surrounds the guest, combining ultimate comfort with an incredible experience of the true beauty of this magnificent country. The name Welgevonden means "well found", and the lodge has proved that it is, indeed, situated in an unmatched location, a truly unique discovery. Indigenous flora and varied fauna grace the guest in every sphere of this accommodation. There are no fences that divide Makweti Safari Lodge from the wildlife to which this is home. This provides a natural flow, and ensures that animals are comfortable in the area, and that there is a cohesive harmony between man and beast. This, in turn, creates ample opportunity for guests to encounter wildlife on their doorstep, in a rather literal sense.

Accommodation

The luxury camp-style of Makweti Safari Lodge can accommodate up to 10 people in 5 thatch and stone suites, set right in the heart of Welgevonden Game Reserve. Food and wine is of the highest quality, demonstrated by the fact that Makweti is a proud member of the Chaine des Rotisseurs.

Welgevonden Game Reserve

Set on 34 000 hectares of the Waterberg Plateau, Welgevonden is home to the Big 5, as well as over 45 other species of mammal, including the white rhino, brown hyena, aardwolf and aardvark, as well as over 30 species of bird. Game drives are available to guests wishing to spot a leopard, or enjoy the hearty 'laugh' of a hyena. No private vehicles are allowed into the reserve as this disrupts the carefully maintained balance between animal and man in such close proximity.

Bushman rock art is also featured on some of the rock faces of Welgevonden.
