Rising out of the unspoilt African bush in the Welgevonden Reserve, a 360km² wilderness in the Waterberg, Sekala Private Game Lodge watches over its kingdom, a kingdom so rich in flora and fauna, yet free of Malaria, that it harks back to a garden man once knew.

And the sense of harmony man once felt in that garden, you can now experience at Sekala Private Game Lodge, as Sekala is rated as one of South Africa's top 6 big 5 venues - a place of harmony and balance.

At Sekala private Game Lodge nature becomes a very real experience: from the lodge's main deck, you will get a view that goes on forever; fromm the look out onto the water hole, you will see an abundance of game; from the private viewing deck and the bath of your chalet, you'll take in the natural splendour surrounding you; at your private outdoor shower, you'll get a truly intimate experience of the african bush.

All this is well within your reach, because Sekala also strikes a perfect balance between your need for the better things in life and the price you'll pay for it.

Experience the sheer luxury that makes Sekala Private Safari Lodge, one of South Africa's 6 best Game Lodges.

Ecosystems, Fauna and Flora in the Welgevonden Reserve

The Lush Vegetation of the Welgevonden Reserve is sustained by four prennial streams - the Sterkstroom, Grootfonteinspruit, Taaibosspruit and Platbosspruit - and abounds with 350 bird species and vast numbers of game, including Africa's famous "Big-Five" - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. If you're lucky you may even get to see all five - as close as you want to go. Follow a lion hunt by spotlight during an exciting night game drive, or simply witness the vast diversification of 25 mammal species.

State-of-the-art Bush Experience at Sekala

Although the Waterberg was inhabited by early trekkers because of its bounteous supply of water, the Welgevonden Reserve has remained untouched for the past eighty years.

It was here in the peace and tranquility of the Waterberg that Eugene Marais wrote his famous work "the Soul Of The Ant"

Imagine the greatness you can achieve at executive think tanks, conferences or team building excercises when you add Sekala's state-of-the-art equipment to Welgevonden's tranquil bush surroundings.
