Sediba Private Game Lodge

Sediba offers exclusivity, style and luxury against a backdrop of wild Africa in all her splendour. Situated in the Welgevonden Private Game Reserve - a malaria-free area, Sediba is only a three-hour drive from Johannesburg.

The Waterberg - so named by early Trekkers - early explorers for its bounteous supply of clear water - covers an area of some 15,000 square kilometres in the Northern Province. The past decade has seen great changes in the region, from being largely a farming area for many generations, starting with the Trekkers, the Waterberg now embraces game ranching and conservation. Farmers began to realise that conventional farming would not work and that it would be more costly than profitable to work the lands. Hence the conversion from conventional farming to game ranging and conservation. Although there has been farming, the Waterberg has by enlarge been untouched over time, an unspoilt expanse of land, which we should admire and respect.

The Waterberg landscape is both spectacular and mystical with perennial streams that flow through the area sustaining the lush and diverse fauna. The main tribe of this area is the Bapedi, also called the Northern Sotho and the languages spoken here are Sepedi or Northern Sotho, Afrikaans and English.
