Welgevonden Private Game Reserve
Just over an hour from the metropolis of Johannesburg lies a privately owned game reserve in the heart of the Waterberg in the Limpopo province of South Africa. The Welgevonden Private Game Reserve has an area of 34 200 ha and first started as a conservation area in 1993 through a private sector initiative that resulted in the consolidation of numerous private farms.

The game viewing on the reserve is excellent and common sightings include Elephant, white rhino, lion, zebra, giraffe and numerous species of antelope including Kudu, waterbuck, impala, Eland, Gemsbok, wildebeest and klipspringer. Whilst not an everyday sighting, I have also been lucky enough to view leopard and cheetah on game drives with clients. With the recent re-introduction of buffalo and the introduction of hippo and roan antelope the variety of game on view is excellent.
