To end their stunning South Africa itinerary, Martin and his agents travelled to the Welgevonden Game Reserve via. a short flight to Johannesburg and a transfer. Spending two nights in two lodges, Tshwene Lodge and Tintswalo Waterberg, they were able to see an incredible amount of game while out on game drives, including close sightings of a number of the Big 5. And no safari would be complete without a classic sundowner drink!

A 36,000ha reserve, the Welgevonden is a truly excellent safari option in South Africa. Home to the Big 5 and a plethora of other game, it is a malaria-free reserve with a selection of intimate lodges, and a brilliant option to combine with a beach destination.
