Such a beautiful lodge and a once in a lifetime experience. The staff was amazing, welcoming, caring and professional. We were so well taken care of, it felt like being over at granny’s. We even got ponchos, raincoats, water bottles, wake up calls. The rooms were always ready - curtains opened in the morning, closed at night, bed ready, a most friendly welcome note. We really just had to lay back. The rangers went above and beyond to find the big 5. We saw 4/5 (we only stayed for 1 safari day, the other guest saw 5/5 with the next morning ride). Really informative and pleasant safari rides, breakfast in the middle of the reserve included. The rooms / villas offered an incredible view with the all glass walls, they were huge and head everything from bathtub to fireplace. Food was amazing. What can I say - just experience it yourselves !!

We had an amazing experience during our two-night stay , it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by incredibly kind and attentive team. The hospitality was outstanding. The chefs prepared delicious meals, served in a beautiful location. We were truly spoiled with excellent service in a cosy, homey atmosphere. The lodge and the rooms itself was beautifully decorated, stylish yet authentic, and the view on the rock formation finished it. To the new owner, please keep it this way :)) The ambiance throughout our stay was intimate and personal. Our guide went above and beyond during the game drives, and we were lucky to see many incredible animals. Along the way, we made lovely stops for coffee or a drink, with a gorgeous view. They say African hospitality is special, and our stay here absolutely proved it!
A heartfelt thank you to Tumi, Pedris, Josefien, Ashton, Mantis and tumero (sorry if we got any names wrong!), you made our stay truly wonderful.

Everything about Tshwene Lodge was amazing. The staff, the food, the room were all incredible, and the reserve itself is stunning. As a vegetarian I wasn't expecting to be blown away by the food but it was honestly some of the best meals I've ever had anywhere. We had amazing game drives, saw the Big 5 plus so much more. There is a lovely atmosphere in the lodge and the chill out areas/pool are lovely. Definitely bring a book as you have a lot of time to chill during the day between the drives. I honestly couldn't recommend Tshwene Lodge more. We also stayed one night in their sister lodge Ekuthuleni, as Tshwene was booked out, and that lodge is also incredible - if you get to visit either lodge count yourself lucky!

The stay was better than we have expected. The hotel is amazing so are the rooms. The team is awesome. Linda and Jennifer took really good care of us and Caitlynn, our guide was amazing. She listened to us and helped us find the animals we were hoping to see. Marataba made our honeymoon awesome. It's truly one of the best hotels we've ever been to. The little attentions and surprises made our stay unforgettable.

The accommodation has place for up to 10 people in 5 different houses. With an extra spacious main house and lobby, the Makweti is the perfect place for a peace of mind. Extremely quiet, no children and with no fence around the premises, the bush is always nearby. Couldn't whish a better place to relax and reset from the day to day (technology-based) life. I will be back. The staff is excellent,

The breakfast was amazing in the beautiful restaurant with stunning views. The room also had a great view of the town and was clean and tidy. The romantic setup I requested was well put together—the roses, chocolate, balloons, and champagne were extraordinary, and the price was very affordable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the service was great overall.

The mountain views are the best.

The mountain views are the best. We slept in one of the pods. You can also sleep with the blinds open at night, and that makes it feel like you are sleeping under the stars. Also, there were no mosquitos, something we found very interesting.

The park must really consider ending more Lions .

The park must really consider ending more Lions .I do believe the area is large enough. Most guest come to areas like yours to see Lion's but it was hard for many to see them cos you don't have enough of them.I also felt sorry for your Rangers cos they become other stressed and put under pressure by guest who want to see Lion's

Ons het lekker gekuier. Die personeel is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Ons het nie gekamp nie, maar ons sal beslis die volgende keer. Die geriewe is modern en netjies, en die hele atmosfeer is ontspanne.

Welgevonden is a great safari venue for a quick, malaria free trip close to Johannesburg. The Waterberg area is beautiful. It also has the Big5 which is a bonus. Guests leave their vehicles at the Main gate and get picked up by the lodge they are staying at. You can only drive through the reserve in a safari vehicle with a guide. I can highly recommend this reserve if you prefer a malaria free area.
