Tshwene Lodge

Overview

Location: South Africa–>Limpopo–>Welgevonden Private Game Reserve
Accommodation Type: Lodge

Good For: Solo, Couple/Romantic |

Tshwene lodge is best described as a secluded oasis in the Welgevonden Private Game Reserve. It is here, surrounded by the stillness of Africa’s unspoiled wilderness that true tranquility is experienced. Nestled in the valley of the Taaibos River, the lodge is surrounded by the rugged cliffs of the Waterberg that reverberate the nightly calls of the Chacma Baboon.

Otherwise removed from any semblance of city life, the lodge offers the little touches of modern luxury that makes a stay here utterly indulgent. Exclusive suites are decked with lush amenities that ensure a comfortable stay and offer a lavish bush retreat for discerning travelers.

Accommodation

Luxury accommodation at Tshwene comprises of suites that are furnished with plush double beds and large en suite bathrooms, both immersed in spectacular natural surrounds. Taking in the view of the setting sun is as easy as stepping out on to the wooden deck of your suite.

Warm days call for a refreshing splash in the private outdoor showers adjoining each en suite bathroom, and nights don’t get more romantic than soaking in ample tubs with glasses of champagne while the elephants rumble softly in the woods outside.

Wildlife

Situated in the foothills of the imposing Waterberg Mountains, the Welgevonden nature reserve is a sanctuary for indigenous African wildlife.

Over 300 species of birds, as well as an abundance of mammals, including the Big Five, call this mountain paradise home. Some of the game you can expect to see here includes zebras, wildebeest, antelope and cheetah on the open savannah plains; chacma baboons making mischief in the cliffs where leopards lie in wait; and the rarely seen aardvark and aardwolf which venture out after dusk.
