Nungubane Game Lodge

Tucked right inside Welgevonden Game Reserve near Vaalwater, this compact game lodge sits steps from the reserve and its wildlife. It’s an easy drive to nearby game farms and roughly 20–30 km from Marakele National Park and local town centers.

Just five air-conditioned rooms with fireplaces and private furnished patios give this place an intimate, safari-lodge vibe. Rooms have separate sitting areas, coffee/tea makers and bathrooms with separate showers and deep soaking tubs; daily housekeeping keeps things tidy and the lobby fireplace adds to the bush-chic feel.

Dip into an outdoor pool, wander the terrace and garden, or use the tour desk to book reserve excursions. On-site perks include a restaurant and bar, a BBQ area, transfers and free self-parking; Wi‑Fi and babysitting/childcare are available for a surcharge, and there’s elevator access for guests with mobility needs.

Enjoy a complimentary full breakfast each morning and meals at the on-site restaurant and bar. The BBQ area is perfect for relaxed, open-air dinners after a day on drive.
