Pitse Lodge

Pitse Lodge is situated in the malaria-free 37000 hectare Welgevonden Private Game Reserve in the Limpopo Province. Welgevonden forms part of the spectacular Waterberg Region and borders on the Marakele National Park.

The lodge can accommodate 10 people, with 5 luxurious stone and thatch houses, all with en-suite bathrooms, outside showers and their own private wooden decks. Two of the units are joined by an entrance hall, ideally suited to families with children.

The main lodge consists of a lounge, library, dining area and outside deck which overlooks the open plains where leisurely breakfasts, lunches, sunset drinks and candlelit dinners can be enjoyed. There is a swimming pool and an outside boma for dining.

Lion, elephant, white rhino, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, eland, kudu and many other species of game occur in the area. There are occasional sightings of leopard and cheetah.
