Described as being South Africa’s best kept secret, the malaria-free Waterberg lies in the north-western part of the Limpopo Province. Vaalwater, forming the centre of this area is situated about 200 km north of Pretoria. The Waterberg Mountain range stretches in a long arc for some 150 km’s from Thabazimbi in the west, Nylstroom in the centre to Potgietersrus in the east, incorporating rivers, streams and swamps to add to the spectacular scenery of the mountains themselves. Situated in the heart of the Bushveld, this area offers the visitor fantastic horse safaris, is an important San Rock Art area, is home to about 75 mammal species including the Big Five, over 300 bird species and due to its elevation it is much cooler than most other game reserves in South Africa.
Welgevonden
Situated on the Waterberg Plateau and only a 3 hour drive north of Johannesburg International Airport, the Welgevonden Private Game Reserve is a 34 200 ha privately owned game reserve made up of 500 ha blocks allowing owners to build a maximum 10 bed lodge per sub-division. There are no internal fences but an electrified perimeter fence prevents large mammals from movement onto neighbouring properties. This malaria-free reserve with its mountainous terrain, dissected by deep valleys and kloofs, offers the visitor a genuine African Safari experience in the untamed Bushveld.
