SEKGWA - THE BUSH LODGE

Sekgwa Lodge is a beautifully positioned private safari lodge in the heart of Welgevonden Game Reserve, where classic bush charm meets an unbeatable central location. Set adjacent to the Western Airstrip and the expansive open plains that echo the spirit of the lodge itself, this retreat captures the essence of traditional safari living. 


The main lodge features an open-plan living area inspired by a bygone era, creating a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that invites connection and relaxation. With a generous grassed area in front and a secure electric fence, the lodge is perfectly suited for families and groups of friends seeking a safe yet immersive bush experience. Its central setting ensures exceptional game viewing and effortless access to unforgettable sundowner spots, making every moment in the wilderness truly special.

Sekgwa’s main lodge boasts an open-plan outdoor patio with an adjoining lounge and dining area, creating a relaxed and social space for guests to gather. A separate TV and lounge area provides a comfortable retreat for children to unwind or for adults to enjoy quieter moments. 


The lodge also features a swimming pool-perfect for cooling off and relaxing during warm summer days-as well as a traditional boma and an elevated outdoor entertainment area perched on the hill, offering breathtaking views across the reserve and the ideal setting for evenings under the African sky.


The added benefit of a gym complements the facilities at Sekwa and provides an all-around bush experience.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

"Sekgwa Lodge delivered the kind of safari experience you dream about but rarely find. Having the entire lodge to ourselves made it feel incredibly personal, and our guide went above and beyond to create unforgettable game drives. Watching elephants at sunrise and enjoying dinner under the stars in complete silence was something truly special. It’s luxury, but still deeply connected to nature." James & Caroline UK

ROOMS

Guests can choose from five private en-suite chalets, each featuring a refreshing outdoor shower. Perfect for families, four of the chalets are paired as two connected buildings, while the fifth stands alone for added privacy. The connected chalets share a charming patio but maintain separate entrances, allowing them to function either as family units or as independent rooms for couples.


All chalets are conveniently positioned near the front of the property, just a short stroll from the main lodge. Each chalet is furnished with a luxurious king-size bed, and two of the chalets offer flexible bedding that can be converted into single beds if required, catering to families or groups of any size.

LOCATION

Welgevonden Game Reserve

MAJESTIC BIG 5 GAME VIEWING

Rolling wooded mountains cut by deep rocky ravines and majestic gorges make Welgevonden Game Reserve an evocative piece of Africa. Aptly meaning ‘well found’, this is a place of rare and rugged beauty, plentiful wildlife and prolific birdlife. Spectacular scenery and excellent game viewing make Welgevonden quite unlike anywhere else on earth. To visit here is to experience the spirit of true wilderness.

A pleasant 2.5-hour drive or an easy 45-minute flight from Johannesburg into one of the airstrips, makes Welgevonden one of the most accessible premier malaria free wilderness reserves in the country. Welgevonden Game Reserve, (Dutch for "well found"), is a 34,850 ha game reserve in the Waterberg District, of the Limpopo Province of South Africa.
