A Welgevonden Luxury Game Lodge Winner
If you have been to one of Welgevonden’s premier 5-star game lodges, then you have truly experienced luxury. Welgevonden is a private game reserve that is home to a world-class game lodge in the Limpopo’s bushveld.
Welgevonden means “well-found” in Dutch, the primary language from which Afrikaans evolved in South Africa during the 18
th century.
Creation of a Large, Private Reserve
Welgevonden is a private game reserve, which has actively managed to conserve an area of around 35 000 hectares. This is considerably larger than most other private reserves. The current pristine, natural, and indigenous state of Welgevonden was achieved by combining several farms, which were adjacent to one another. Each one had its own boundary fence, which was owned, managed, and farmed completely independent of its counterparts.
