Kololo is not just 'another' safari option in
that the reserve offers guests the unique opportunity to commune and live with nature in
pristine bushveld unfettered by fences around the accommodation area. The reserve is
spread over 3 000 hectares of African bush which consists of open savannah grass plains,
thick bushveld, mountains and valleys and due to the fact that the Big 5 are not resident
on this reserve, but only 1km away on the neighbouring Welgevonden Game Reserve, the
guests are able to make full use of mountain bike trails, many hiking and walking trails,
or riding on horse back through this area.
ACCOMMODATION: With 12 upmarket chalets positioned in the pristine
bushveld, privacy and relaxation are guaranteed. The restaurant and bar has two lookout
decks providing unparalleled views of the bush. Mouth-watering dishes are served by the
resident gourmet chef. In addition, there is a large heated swimming pool, a resident game
ranger offering guests both game drives and walks, babysitting services, ADSL/Internet
access, air charter flights, airport transfers and disabled facilities.
Garden Chalets - Situated on beautiful lawns and surrounded by acacia
trees are the 3 Garden Chalets. Each Garden Chalet sleeps 2 and has an open-plan
sleeping/living area with an en-suite bathroom. A fully equipped, open-plan kitchen on the
verandah and the garden barbeque area are ideal for those wanting to experience an
authentic outdoor African meal in bushveld surroundings.

THE GAME RESERVE: Kololo Game Reserve is home to a wide variety of both
large and small antelope species, giraffe, zebra, monkeys, baboons, bushpig and warthog.
Over 300 different bird species are indigenous to the area making this a birders paradise.
Indigenous shrubs and trees abound and form an integral part of the food source for the
animal species living in the area. 84 different species of trees are listed and many of
these are identified along the walking and cycling routes of Kololo. Wild flowers and
grasses cover the bushveld and over 500 species of plants have been recorded in the
Waterberg plateau providing a colourful canvas for mother nature.
NEARBY ACTIVITIES & ATTRACTIONS: Kololo is fairly centrally placed in
the Waterberg area, allowing visitors to explore a wide range of attractions on either day
trips or short excursions. These include many options for Big 5 game viewing, horse and
elephant back safari's, visits to the cheetah research project, the rhino museum, and
trips to Sun City, and excellent golfing options at both the Gary Player course at Sun
City and the Peter Matkovich golf courses at Elements.
SOCIAL INVESTMENT: Dutch born owners of Kololo Game Reserve, Ton and
Yvonne Jansen, are very committed to the upliftment and development of both the people
that are employed by them and the area that surrounds them. They have several social
investment projects in the Vaalwater area that they support and these include education
for underprivileged children and financial support and care for the local hospice that
treat HIV / AIDS children. |
