Madikwe & Waterberg , South Africa
Located in the heart of the beautiful Welgevonden Private Reserve in South Africa, rolling mountains, steep gorges, rocky outcrops, flowing rivers and open plains provide a magnificent game area that is fast growing in popularity. The main lodge, built into natural rock formations in the craggy Waterberg Mountains, is a dramatic architectural synthesis which commands spectacular views of the Makweti Gorge and undulating landscape beyond. Makweti Safari Lodge accommodates just ten guests. Indulge your senses in the secluded suites, individually decorated with antique treasures, Victorian bathtubs and log fires for the cooler winter months. Explore 33,000 hectares of prime game-land, in open safari vehicle or on foot.
October to May is the best time to visit the Cape. Game viewing is better during the drier months of April to September. The wildflower season is generally from mid August to mid September. The whale watching season runs from June to November.
