General/Safari

Molweni Private Game Reserve is situated in one of the most beautiful and historically interesting parts of our country – South Africa. This area of the Eastern Cape, about 240 km from Port Elizabeth and 5km from Adelaide, lies in the foothills of the Great Winterberg mountains. Being at an altitude that ensures a mild and healthy climate, guests can all year long enjoy everything the reserve has to offer. Game viewing is excellent throughout the year.

In this malaria-free area you can also enjoy a wider Eastern Cape experience - Molweni gives you easy access to short stays or over night stops in other parts of the Karoo as well as to the famed Garden Route.

• The Karoo towns of Graaff Reinet and Cradock are well preserved examples of nineteenth century country villages and have fine examples of indigenous architecture. This is a rich record of the culture of the British settlers of 1820 and of their Dutch forerunners – as well as being an intrinsic symbol of the co-existence of the descendants of the Europeans settlers with the Xhosa in the area known as the Eastern Cape Frontier.
• Molweni also gives you easy access to the Garden Route with the acclaimed beaches of Plettenberg Bay and Knysna.

Molweni is in a summer rainfall area –and the countryside is green and lush. The days are warm, and the breathtaking mountain views can be enjoyed while relaxing and cooling off in the swimming pool. Winter is a lovely time to visit - with mild days and chilly nights to enjoy sitting under the stars warmed by a generous log fire in the boma or taking your ease in front of a large fireside hearth.

Molweni offers a full catering or self-catering option. Both houses have fully fitted kitchens if you choose the self-catered option. We will tailor-make your ideal safari - whether you want a short or long stay, catered or self-catered – let us know and we will organize a memorable experience.
