A two-and-a halfhour drive or 45-minute flight from Johannesburg, the lodge is situated along the Sterkstroom River. Five tented safari suites have views of the river and Waterberg sandstone cliff. Each has a private deck with splash pool, ensuite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers, stocked bar fridge and wifi. The ‘big five’ Welgevonden Game Reserve maintains a low human footprint, limiting the number of lodges and guests allowed within the reserve. www.inzalolodge.co.za
