Cabins in Welgevonden Game Reserve

Everything was absolutely incredible from the hotel itself, to the staff, to the food, to the drives and guide. This was our first safari and was an incredible experience as we saw so many animals. Will definitely be back!

My girlfriend and I spent 3 nights at the Sediba Lodge. We had a really amazing stay. Everything was perfect and more than we expected: the facilities, room, food, personnel and game drives. Moyo, Nkuli and other staff members, thank you so much for an awesome stay!

Our stay was a dream! I traveled with 2 of my best friends and we were made to feel so welcome from the minute we arrived. Nothing was too much for the team at the lodge. They all went out of their way to make our stay memorable - from driving around until we saw all of the unbelievable game on our bucket list, to the incredible food - lots of salad options (perfect for new years resolutions), great quality meals and beautifully prepared, to the comfortable rooms and stunning deck and pool. We can't wait to return.

Everything! What a perfect stay!

Wonderfully friendly and attentive staff. Our game ranger, Byron, was fantastic. You could really tell that he's passionate about what he does and was determined to ensure we got to experience the best the bush had to offer. Obviously there's a good amount of luck involved, but thanks to Byron's skill and determination, we boxed off the big 5 in our first two days and got to witness some very rare sightings, such as a leopard and her cub feeding at night and a one week old baby rhino. Another real bonus is that Makweti is permitted to operate two game vehicles for only 10 guests, meaning there is only max 6 persons in your vehicle. Often me and my partner had the vehicle to ourselves - while some other lodges were cramming 14 into a single car! Our room was cleaned immaculately every day. The complimentary decanter of port was a nice feature (I think it was complimentary?!). The main lodge had stunning views of the bush and cozy fireplaces for the chilly days. The staff really went the extra mile wherever they could, with hot water bottles, fleece ponchos, blankets and handwarmers for the cold weather game drives. Hot towels and ceremonial drums to welcome you back to the lodge. The food was a real highlight and something to really look forward to after each drive. On first impression, it would seem like the portions were a little too small (I'm a big eater), but I actually never felt hungry at all while I was there. I would recommend Makweti to any travelers looking to experience all the wildlife of the bush in comfort and luxury.

Each meal was prepared to look beautiful and was also delicious. Personal attention from the friendly staff was noteworthy. The room was comfortable and decorated to perfection; healthy live plants being part of it.

Privacy of our unit and friendliness of the owners and staff

Everything. The place was just out of this world

Beautiful location on a river with hippos and views of a large number of animals on other side of river.

Our stay at Elephants Crossing was nothing short of amazing, we loved every minute and were accommodated exceptionally by the very welcoming staff who followed through with every demand or favour. The lodge itself is so peaceful and relaxing and all our meals were outstanding with views of passing animals daily. The game drives were also conducted very well and you’d always finish the day seeing an array of different animals including the big 5!
