About Welgevonden Game Reserve

Aptly named 'Well Found', this 37,000-hectare wilderness emerged from humble farmland in 1993 to become one of the Waterberg's most remarkable conservation success stories. Mother Nature has reclaimed her territory with gusto - internal fences have vanished, ancient migratory paths have reopened, and wildlife now roams freely across the reserve. From rolling hills to dramatic gorges, it showcases the rich tapestry of Limpopo's wild heart. While you might share your encounters with fellow safari-goers, the stunning variety of creatures - from tiny pangolins to lumbering elephants - makes every drive a proper adventure.
