It was absolutely amazing. We got engaged on this trip and Shauna and her personnel made it so romantic. Couldn’t ask fo

Pros: Beautiful surroundings, as the host called it the “bushveld tv”. Property is overlooking a beautiful mountain and valley, which had visitors for our view - Rhinos, Elephants and Baboons.

Cons: Only that I booked too short.

A nice bush break in nature only two and a half hours' drive from Pretoria

Pros: The lodge is comfortable, very clean and well located inside the Reserve. Staff is friendly without being intrusive. Food was excellent- with the right portions considering you are having three meals a day without exercising. Game-viewing was great, including hard-to-see leopard and black rhino.

Cons: Many roads in Welgevonden Game Reserve are not practicable during the wet season, so one tends to be restricted with respect to where game drives can take place. The Lodge also does not (yet) have an electric generator, which would be useful considering power outages can be frequent in SA. Finally, bush walks could be made available on top of drives.

A rejuvenating bush break

Pros: Friendly staff who are so helpful and make you feel like nothing is too much trouble. Our room was always so welcoming, as staff attended to it while we were out on game drives, so always returned to a spotless and welcoming room.

Cons: There wasn't anything that we didn't like!
