Onverwacht Game Lodge is a well established game ranch which was first registered in 1843, and is situated in a disease free area of the Great Karoo approximately 13 km North East of Pearston in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
General
The Lodge is set in approximately 1800 hectares of land which has an altitude range from 930m to 1815m above sea level. Access to Onverwacht is via route 337 which actually splits the land and runs between Pearston and Craddock.
The climate is sub-tropical with very dry winters and sunshine all year round. In summer, day time temperatures often reach 40°C and drop to a cool 20-25°C at night. In winter, the temperature during the day can often be 25°C dropping to 10°C at night.
It is currently a very exciting time in the history of Onverwacht. In May 2003 Onverwacht was registered as a (PTY) limited company with new owners. Since the acquisition, extensive improvements on every aspect of the farm have been undertaken with the emphasis being to retain and not disturb the original character of the ranch.
Guests to Onverwacht Game Lodge can expect to enjoy first class accommodation and service. The Accommodation is complemented with several accompanying amenities such as a swimming pool, a 40 person capacity restaurant with bar, a games room and an outdoor entertainment terrace with Braai (BBQ) area.
The infrastructure of the farm is being upgraded to allow guests to enjoy better game drives and walks. New vehicle and walking routes are being developed to allow access to usually unseen areas of natural beauty at Onverwacht.
The boundary fencing of the Lodge has also been recently upgraded, thus allowing Onverwacht Game Lodge to hold a larger diversity of wildlife for your enjoyment
“It is the policy of Onverwacht Game Lodge (PTY) Ltd to provide to its guests a warm welcome and an enjoyable stay at the Lodge”. – Chairman Mr A Jakob
