John and Juliana Welcome You! ←
John and Juliana van der Westhuizen would like to welcome you to Westfalen Hunting Safaris! Over the last twenty plus years we have worked hard to cultivate and refine an exceptional and personable quality to the surroundings and the service that you will experience while you are here. We choose to keep our family outfit small and personal to ensure the highest standard possible for hunting and hospitality. Westfalen Camp, where our guests stay, is located far from roads, nearby towns or city lights, you will experience no disturbances from people only the peaceful sights and sounds of Africa.
Accommodations & Meals ←
Westfalen Camp, where our guests are accommodated, is newly built intimate and beautiful modern hunting lodge set upon a hilltop with sweeping views of the surrounding picturesque landscape. We have tried to strike the perfect balance between being as close to nature as possible with all of the creature comforts that makes life easier. We have two modern well appointed bungalows each with a terrace to enjoy the views and their own small plunge pools. Our solar powered private bungalows sleep two people each and are modern, clean and very comfortable with large en suite bathrooms. We are here to attend to your every need as well as our warm and friendly staff who provide daily maid and laundry service. For groups larger than four we can accommodate you as well at a beautiful lodge nearby (we can provide pictures upon request).
A full hearty hot breakfast will start your day off well! Breakfast changes from day to day to keep it interesting usually eggs and bacon, sausage or steak, freshly baked bread, toast, cereal, yogurt, fruit, juice, coffee and tea.
Often hunters take lunch packs into the bush so they do not have to return to Westfalen Camp during the midday, however should you wish to have a more leisurely lunch back at camp taking a break from hunting or having a nap, we will certainly be happy to do that. Of course you will always be accompanied by a cool box in the car filled with a variety of drinks and water as well as a snack.
After a long day of hunting the thought of a cool beer or refreshing cocktail back at camp overlooking the lake is an inviting one! With sundowner in hand you can watch as the last bits of light disappear into the night. It is certainly one of the great moments of hunting when you get to settle down into a comfortable chair and reflect on all of the sights and experiences of the day by the fire with friends.
Most meals are cooked outdoors over coals or on an open fire. We bake fresh bread daily and as much as possible comes from our garden. We enjoy sharing our homemade specialties and most of what we make is from scratch. We try to include a variety of game meat and local favorites so you can try different things throughout your stay, however we also offer another option at dinner such as beef, pork, chicken or fish to accommodate all tastes. And of course dessert is always on the menu!
We also offer a small selection of fine South African wines and a full stocked bar, it’s best to let us know what you like to drink so we can be sure to have it for you while you are here.
We eat under our elegant and comfortable lapa in our open plan dining room and lounge area. Every night we spend the evenings under the stars marveling at the milky way around the fire pit enjoying camaraderie and sharing some stories. Our camp is lit with candles in the evenings which beckons us back to times gone by and a peacefulness prevails. We want you to really leave the world behind and be able in immerse yourselves in the wondrous and magical experience of being in Africa.
We would be happy to help you celebrate a special occasion, be it an anniversary, birthday, graduation… Or even a wedding!
We also offer a variety of fun and interesting activities for hunters, non-hunters and the entire family, to learn more about what there is to do at Westfalen and surrounding areas, please click here to visit our Activities and Tours page.
