# Laluka Safari Lodge

> Laluka Safari Lodge is an intimate, family-run luxury safari lodge with just six suites in the malaria-free Welgevonden Game Reserve, part of the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere in South Africa, about three hours (250 km) north of Johannesburg. The Eeman family offers an all-inclusive Big Five safari: two daily game drives, guided bush walks, an eye-level waterhole hide, and farm-to-table dining sourced largely from the lodge's own organic farm. Welgevonden is a low-volume private reserve with no self-drive or day visitors, and one of the largest white-rhino populations of any private reserve in Africa, where the rhinos still have their horns.
