WILDLIFE & BIRDLIFE

Fifty Seven Waterberg is certainly one of the finest places to experience wildlife, a sense wilderness and to touch the spirit of true Africa in comfort and style.

Welgevonden, a Big 5 game reserve, is home to over 50 animal species, an abundance of interesting flora species and more than 300 bird species, including the rare blue cranes, South Africa’s National Bird. Some rare animals to be found includes Aardwolf, Brown Hyena as well as Aardvark. Lion, Leopard and Cheetah are often seen.

Spectacular scenery and excellent game viewing make Welgevonden quite unlike anywhere else on earth. The evocative wilderness area offers an exclusive, intimate experience of the African bush with only a limited number of guests having access to the reserve at any one time. Historically, wildlife on the reserve has never been hunted so game viewing is always up close and personal.

The grassy plains abound with antelope from the largest eland to the diminutive duiker, and cheetah, lion and leopard are always close by. It is the diversity of habitat on the reserve that encourages such a wide range of wildlife as well as over 300 bird species.
