Overlooking the mighty Oliphant's River, some 23km from Hoedspruit in Limpopo Province, Ekuthuleni is less than an hour's drive from both the Phalaborwa and Orpen gates of the Kruger National Park. Offering thatched self-catering chalets and caravan sites, the resort provides great options for a true African bushed experience. Guests can enjoy game drives, excellent birding opportunities and the excitement of being positioned on the banks of the Oliphant's River, with abundant wildlife to be viewed. The wonders of the Mpumalanga escarpment; the Blyde River Canyon, Bourke’s Luck potholes and God's Window are also within easy driving distance. Situated in the heart of the malaria-free Welgevonden Private Game Reserve in South Africa, Ekuthuleni Lodge invites you to savour true African luxury. Ekuthuleni Lodge, meaning "place of peace", has sweeping views of the Savannah plains, and is home to the Big Five and many other species of game. Each of the five suites offer intimacy and privacy, with magnificent views of the grasslands, giving a whole new meaning to nature on your doorstep. The romantic bathrooms open onto a private courtyard and have both indoor and outdoor showers. Two daily game drives are conducted by experienced rangers who will provide intimate details of the abundant flora and fauna, many of which is unique to the Waterberg. Watch the morning sun scribble intriguing patterns across the veld and contemplate the day's journey. Enjoy an early morning safari and watch Africa awaken in front of your eyes. Then head home for a scrumptious breakfast before settling down for your midday siesta. After sundowner drinks, allow the darkness of the African bush to envelop you on your evening game safari. Nightlife abounds in the African bush and dangers lurk everywhere. Lions on the hunt and leopards stalking prey in the cover of darkness are truly magnificent sights to behold.
