Welgevonden Game Reserve, Protected wildlife area in Waterberg region, South Africa.
The Welgevonden Game Reserve extends across 37,500 hectares of hills, valleys, and savannas, offering habitat for numerous African wildlife species including elephants and lions.
The reserve was established in 1993 through the consolidation of private farms, leading to the removal of internal fences and restoration of the natural environment.
The reserve contains two San rock art sites that demonstrate the presence of indigenous peoples who inhabited this region hundreds of years ago.
Located 2.5 hours from Johannesburg by car or 45 minutes by plane, this malaria-free reserve provides accommodation in several lodges limited to 10 guests each.
The restricted number of vehicles and absence of hunting in the reserve allow animals to remain comfortable near humans, creating opportunities for close wildlife encounters.
