Waterberg Elegance

PAPERBARK GAME LODGE

Since it's awakening as a favoured area of the early San inhabitants, the Waterberg has traditionally been celebrated as a land of abundant wildlife and water. The Welgevonden Private Game Reserve is internationally recognised for it's pioneering role in Southern African conservation and is sanctuary to a myriad of wildlife from the rare Sable, Oryx and Eland to Africa's 'Big Five'. The terrain varies from open plains, to riverine marshlands, to towering crags and the prolific bird life is a "Birder's Paradise ". A variety of game visits the lodge on a regular basis, and sightings from the deck are commonplace. In addition, for those interested, the Reserve boasts two Bushman painting sites, which are reached by a short walk from the road.
Nestled in the shadow of the mystical Waterberg, an ancient tapestry comes to life in a sanctuary, unrivalled for its diversity and natural abundance....Waken your senses. Surrender to the luxury and texture of another era as you experience the drama and mystery of Africa's wild heart. Be indulged in the finest care, comfort, and cuisine and let the haunting call of the wild replenish your inner peace. Live the experience, for there is no place like this...this is not a dream. Our Game drives and walks are led by professional, armed rangers and the wellness centre has 17-metre lap pool (heated), fully-equipped gym and steam room (with chiropractor and masseuse). You can expect six-star comfort, care and cuisine!
