Waterberg Game Park

Only 3.5 hours drive from Johannesburg, this stunning 450 hectare game farm offers the wildlife enthusiasts excellent game viewing, horseback rides and bird watching. Game drives and walks let you encounter animals such as zebra, giraffe, 10 species of antelope and plenty of small game. These beautiful stone and thatch chalets are set among indigenous trees to create the perfect backdrop for sundowners and a braai. Game Drives may be pre-booked at Waterberg Game Park. Unfortunately no private vehicles are allowed on our Game drives.

Accommodation in dire need of refurbishments.

We were disappointed and felt unsafe as a number of windows were cracked and broken, the lights were super dim and some not working and the couches were stained. On top of it all the units have a distinct smell with the bath water changing colour to blue after a while. We had reported these issues to reception a number of times and they advised that windows had been ordered and there is nothing they can do. I also invited the receptionist to come to the room to see and smell for herself, which she did not do. I was also rather disappointed at the rather limited knowledge the receptionist had on the area attractions and when she did manage to provide details on the Ziplining, the incorrect details were provided. Further training is definitely required here. On the positive side - the resort has great activities for the kids, and adults too and these seemed better maintained then the chalets. There is also no network or WiFi anywhere except at the restaurant. We had booked this family get away through The Holiday Club timeshare option, with the resort having a 4/5 rating. We were allocated W6 and W10.

Geweldig verblijf!!!

Reviewed By 695effiev

Wauw, wat een plek! Geweldig personeel en alles werd tot in de puntjes en met liefde voor ons geregeld. Prachtig uitzicht en lekkere bedden in de luxe tenten. Goede en persoonlijke service en veel comfort midden in de natuur. De gamedrives zijn adembenemend met veel informatie. Als je in de buurt van Johannesburg of Pretoria bent, is dit niet te missen. Kom zeker weer terug!

Tintswalo Lapalala

Tintswalo at Lapalala is a luxury tented lodge that sits surrounded by the panoramic beauty of the Lapalala Wilderness Reserve, enjoying the rolling Waterberg mountains, meandering riverines and teems of wild game.

Elegant, Friendly, full service safari lodge

Reviewed By imissneworleans

This elegant tented lodge is on the Lapalala reserve, with only one more lodge on the whole reserve, so you go on game drives alone, without the crowds you might see on other reserves. The food is amazing, the service is impeccable, the rooms are luxurious and private. The game drives were amazing and we saw a lot of wonderful wildlife, including cheetahs. I highly recommend this lodge.

7. Newburg Lodge

Newburg is accessible to guests only through the Elements Reserve via a controlled gate.
