Yes — Welgevonden is a malaria-free reserve. No prophylactics are required, making it ideal for families with young children and travellers who prefer to avoid antimalarial medication. It is one of the very few Big 5 reserves in South Africa with this advantage.

By road: Welgevonden is approximately 2h30 north of Johannesburg. Private vehicles are not permitted in the reserve — guests are collected by our ranger Stephens at the Main Gate. By air: 1-hour charter flights are available from Johannesburg to the Western Landing Strip, with a short transfer to the lodge.

All rates are for exclusive use of the full lodge. Included: all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), snacks and drinks during game drives, daily housekeeping, laundry service, and morning and evening game drives with your private accredited guide. Airport transfers on arrival and departure days are also included.

Welgevonden is home to the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo — as well as giraffe, zebra, cheetah, hippo and over 250 bird species. With your private guide and vehicle, you explore different habitats each drive for varied and memorable encounters.

Welgevonden can be visited year-round. The dry season (May–September) offers the best game viewing as vegetation thins and animals gather around water sources. Summer (October–April) brings lush landscapes, newborn animals and excellent birdwatching. Each season has its own magic.
