Standing sentinel over the savanna, at the foot of a rocky ridge in the centre of the malaria free Welgevonden Game Reserve, Ekuthuleni Lodge offers guests a classic safari experience. This elegant, family-friendly property has five standalone suites complemented by generous indoor and outdoor living spaces and expansive views of a bustling waterhole – ideal for couples as well as groups of family and friends. Translated as “Place of Peace”, Ekuthuleni is a soothing and idyllic home-away-from-home; an African bush escape that offers guests contemporary comfort and quiet serenity.

Welgevonden is set in the shadow of the ancient Waterberg mountains just three hours from Johannesburg, and is home to more than 65 mammal species, including the Big Five. This rich and diverse variety of wildlife traverses a captivating landscape that guests can explore through twice-daily game drives or observe from the shaded veranda at the lodge. Whether enjoying sundowners while the elephants have their evening mud bath, scanning the plains from the pool deck or listening to the crackling fire as you are served dinner under the stars, you’ll find all the elements of an unforgettable African safari at Ekuthuleni Lodge.
