Perched in the treetops of the lush Welgevonden Game Reserve – just a short, three-hour drive from Johannesburg – Tshwene Lodge is an intimate couple's retreat; an impossibly romantic hideaway in the blissful seclusion of the African bush. With lofty ceilings of exposed thatch and floor-to-ceiling glass, each of the exquisite suites at Tshwene Lodge feels open and spacious, drawing your eye to the captivating view of the canopy and Welgevonden’s leafy hills and valleys beyond.

This world-class private reserve sits on 36,000 hectares of open grasslands, rocky plateaus and dense woodlands that provide a thriving habitat for the local wildlife, including the Big Five. Game sightings here are memorable and action-packed, guided by our experienced team of rangers, many of whom have been traversing Welgevonden for most of its 30 years in existence. The reserve’s status as a malaria-free destination and its easy accessibility from Johannesburg make it the perfect location for an escape from the city surrounded by the beauty and tranquillity of a pristine wilderness.
