ACCOMMODATION

An integral part of the breathtaking Welgevonden Reserve, Sediba is a private game reserve with two all-suite game lodges - Letlapala and Letlapa.

Letlapa ('rock') Lodge is situated in a valley with a perennial stream running through it. The lodge is linked by boardwalks and wheel-chair friendly paths. Letlapa has three suites and two exclusive suites, including one suite that has been specially prepared to accommodate our disabled guests.

Letlapala ('the place of the sun') Lodge is aptly named - situated on one of the highest points of the reserve, it basks in both sunrise and sunset and has spectacular views over the valleys. The more intimate of the two lodges, Letlapala has four suites and one exclusive suite, all designed to blend into the environment while providing every comfort.

All facilities are available to guests staying at either of the Sediba lodges. Each suite has it's own private Jacuzzi. These are kept pre-warmed for use.

Welgevonden Private Game Reserve

Welgevonden is one of the largest privately owned reserves in South Africa, covering 37 000 hectares of pristine bushveld in the malaria-free Waterberg region.

With the leopard as a natural inhabitant, most of the other major game species have been successfully reintroduced into the reserve. The reintroduction projects have tripled the game population in size over the past five years.


From an original pride of five lions, at least 22 now roam freely within the reserve's boundaries. Just under 50 elephants were originally released into the reserve and 85 now reside in Welgevonden.
Other reintroductions include the white rhino (for which Welgevonden is renowned), buffalo and special antelope species such as sable, roan, and gemsbok.

Other species, which were already on the farms when Welgevonden was established, have been allowed to flourish. These include leopard, antelope, giraffe, warthog, bush pig, aardvark, pangolin and many more. Black-backed jackals and the very rare brown hyena have also prospered in the conservancy.

Last, but certainly not least, within Welgevonden 270 bird species have been recorded. For those who desire to ‘spot’ the Big Five, admire various vegetation or simply enjoy magnificent scenery, Welgevonden's majestic landscape has a lot to offer.
