About The Lodge & The Reserve


About Clearwater Kudu Lodge

Clearwater Kudu Lodge is set on open Savannah overlooking a waterhole. It is a haven of tranquillity where guests come face to face with the grandeur of Africa's sights, sounds and scents, restoring and revitalizing your inner soul. Guests can indulge in the beauty and tranquillity of the bushveld from their own personal deck outside their bedroom.

The entertaining area (lounge, bar, dining room) is surrounded by a wooden deck, where guests can relax for endless moments, or refresh in the pool.

Wholesome, ethnic, gourmet food and fine wines are served on the deck, in the dining room or in the rustic boma.

Game drives are undertaken in comfortable land rovers, generally in the early morning and late afternoon. Walking safaris, under the personal guidance of one of our game rangers, as well as visits to the nearby bushman paintings can also be arranged. The program is however totally flexible, and is set to meet with each client's personal requirements; Clearwater can be a haven for those who need a getaway, an inspiring venue for conferences, and the most romantic setting for an intimate wedding.

Experience the bush from the state of the art open land rover with qualified ranger who will endeavour to show you the Big 5, as well as other animals such as Kudu, giraffe, zebra, warthog and roan antelope. For bird lovers there are approximately 300 species.

About Welgevonden Game Reserve

Rolling wooded mountains cut by deep rocky ravines and majestic gorges make Welgevonden Private 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.

Welgevonden is home to over 50 different mammals, including the Big Five, and boasts one of the largest populations of white rhino on a private reserve anywhere in Africa. There are rare and unusual species too, such as brown hyena, aardwolf and aardvark – all best seen at night. The grassy plains abound with antelope from the largest eland to the diminutive duiker, and cheetah, lion and leopard are always close by. It is the diversity of habitat on the reserve that encourages such a wide range of wildlife as well as over 250 bird species, including rare blue cranes.

At 36 000 hectares in size, Welgevonden Private Game Reserve lies in the Waterberg plateau, just north of Johannesburg. Here guests enjoy unlimited traversing through the reserve and experience an environment where biodiversity conservation and game viewing are managed in harmony. Welgevonden protects an unique and special environment and the reserve’s management is deeply committed to ongoing conservation research and development.

The evocative wilderness area offers an exclusive, intimate experience of the African bush with only a limited number of guests having access to the reserve at any one time. No private vehicles are permitted, which ensures minimal human impact and the ultimate wilderness experience. Historically, wildlife on the reserve has never been hunted so game viewing is always up close and personal. There is also ancient and delicate Bushman rock art on Welgevonden.

Welgevonden offers the discerning visitor something completely different. This is mountain bushveld with rivers running through it and sweeping views to far horizons. It’s high altitude, temperate climate and malaria free makes it worth a visit all year round. Welgevonden is certainly one of the finest places to watch wildlife, sense wilderness and touch the spirit of true Africa.
