Tshwene Lodge

“An interesting alternative to the Kruger.”

A very different location to any safaris we had done before. The scenery is quite rugged in places and the spotting can be much harder at times but it is equally rewarding.

A very different location to any safaris we had done before. The scenery is quite rugged in places and the spotting can be much harder at times but it is equally rewarding. Steven our guide worked very hard to ensure that we got the very best out of each drive. The lodge itself is very peaceful and well appointed and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe and well cared for throughout our stay.

“Iwan and georgies stay!”

Unbelievable experience, our first safari and won’t be our last. Made even better with a great bunch of people.

“Amazing safari - thank you!”

Such a great few days. Saw loads of animals (even in the rain!). Stephen was incredible at spotting animals and wonderful company. The rest of the team Cina, Maria, Isaac, Leenah and Mr Easy were also so lovely and helpful. They all made it feel so relaxed and comfortable. The food was also amazing… lisää

In Welgevonden Private Game Reserve, Vaalwater, South-Afrika is a gem of a resort, named Tshwene Lodge. The resort is private and host no more than 10 guests, tucked away in a forest on slopy hills. The central building and guest houses are decorated with style. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served, pepared by a chef. The rest of the staff is friendly and gives you the feel of comfort and ease. After sunset, you're not supposed to walk to your guest house on your own, you will be escorted, as close encounter with wildlife is possible. All this makes staying at Tshwene Lodge both relaxing and adventurous. Guided tours are twice a day, early in the morning, before sunrise and late afternoon, as wildlfe is more active then. Our designated guide has to be named. Steven is an experienced ranger, has amazing driving skills and showed his excellence, once we got held up by a herd of elephants. Two members of the herd, a young female and a young bull, decided to not just give way. Steven, as a true elephant whisperer, explained to us how the animals needed to be approached and predicted the outcome. Not only got he us through safely, he was also fully aware that several cars behind us needed a safe pass as well. Steven seemed to coordinate everything in such a way, that the elephants were not to be agitated and treated with respect. It was impressive.
