We celebrated our 40th Ruby wedding anniversary at Sekala Private Game Lodge and what a celebration it was. The lodge is magnificent and so beautifully furnished. The deck overlooking a watering hole is a safe haven for animals to come and drink and we had so many sightings of different animals including a herd of buffalo.
Best of all are the staff at Sekala. Clare, Manager Patrick and his team consisting of Abel, Eva and Francina couldn’t do enough for us. The team went out of their way to organise a surprise picnic lunch in the bush and a champagne dinner in the boma on the day of our anniversary. The food and service were first class throughout our stay.
As for the game drives, Patrick with his eagle eyes is an expert ranger and tracker and is passionate about his job. Although the leopard eluded us, we saw 4 of the Big 5 and had wonderful sightings of cheetah. The Welgevonden Game Reserve is very diverse and it was so enjoyable taking in all the different scenery and stopping to enjoy a break at “Patrick’s Coffee Shop” in the mornings and “Patrick’s Bush Bar” in the evenings.
Patrick, Abel, Eva and Francina, we will miss your smiles and laughter and can’t wait to come back one day. Thank you.
We spent two nights at the Sekala Private Game Lodge at Welgevonden Game Reserve in South Africa and recovered wonderfully. The lodge is spacious and extremely comfortable, the beds are lovely and the food of cook Francina is very good. The 5 staff of the lodge cares for their guests in a very personal and harmonious way and read every wish from their eyes.
The game drives with Ranger Patrick are exciting and varied; you will encounter a variety of animals and landscapes in the Welgevonden Game Reserve. Unfortunately, we just missed the lions! For this we were allowed a Gepardin with their young at the crack, many rhino and zebra we could observe and an elephant, as well as jackals, warthogs, Klipspringer and Pferdeantilopen.
One of the highlights of our stay was a dinner under the stars in the boma around the campfire. There is also a pool and a water hole right by the lodge. The lodge is fenced, so you can move here quite relaxed. Many thanks to Patrick, Eva, Frans, Frank and Francina for the excellent service!
Indulge
Enjoy African Safari Wildlife at its finest!
