About Welgevonden Game Reserve
The Dutch word “Welgevonden” can be translated to “well found” or a “serendipitous discovery” which means to occur by chance in a happy or beneficial way. The majestic piece of land transforms at any opportunity, offering breath-taking views of untouched African wilderness and memories that will last a lifetime. The reserve is one of the finest to watch wildlife in, feel the wilderness and experience the true spirit of Africa. Welgevonden Game Reserve offers an exclusive, intimate bushveld experience, with only a limited number of guests having access to Welgevonden at any one time. The mountainous bushveld is worth a visit all year round, thanks to its high altitude, temperate climate. It is important to note that this reserve is not open to day visitors.
