Naledi Game Lodges

The lodge is nice enough for the value of what you are paying, but at the end of the day what takes the cake is the staff and the quality of the game drives. This is our second time returning to Naledi, and I would return again just for the staff. They have wonderful people working there that make your experience so much more enjoyable. The trackers and guides are also really amazing, funny, and talented. We saw the Big 5 and had amazing game drives with them. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a more affordable experience compared to fancy lodges, it's a really nice place. Thank you Naledi!

We loved the time at Naledi. Everybody makes the stay great. It’s like coming home. Great food, service, people, gamedrive, passion from everybody. We will come back soon!

I cannot praise Naledi Lodge and all their staff enough. The location is great, the accommodation extremely comfortable and the food was superb. And then, the main event - the safari- ok getting up at 5am was a slight struggle but absolutely worth it, our ranger and tracker were so skilled and knowledgeable and I always felt totally safe,even when we were very close to some very big animals. A totally unforgettable experience, and the staff are completely committed to ensuring your stay is a success. Have no hesitation in recommending Naledi to all.

This weekend was mind blowing, beyond words. From our arrival until our departure we were treated to the most delicious and beautifully presented meals and a surprise birthday cake. Our room was luxurious with a view to a watering hole approximately 40m from the deck and saw many elephants, impala, kudud, warthogs, baboons and lots of birds visiting meters away. Our game drives and walk is where we spent most of or time and worth every second. Oupa and Excellence has wealth of knowledge and experience in the veld and going at high speed 3 times to rush to a possible leopard siting. When an animal was spotted they would assess the situation and numerous times we were taken within meters of the anumal, wthout putting anyone or animal in danger. We saw a big male lion, black & white rhino, giraffe, elephants including Ezulwini, big dominant bull of the park, hippo, crocodile, lots of impala, waterbuck, kudu, duiker, klipspringer, steenbok and highlight was spotting a leopard in a tree on our final drive. Visiting Naledi should be on everyone's bucket list. We are planning an annual trip to Naledi as this was one of my best experiences I have ever encountered and the memories are entwined in my soul.

5/5. This was the most amazing experience we have ever had in our lives! The staff was soooooo friendly! Food was just so much of it and delicious. Never expected it to taste like a 5 star restaurant! Vuyani our safari guide was the best ever! If we said something we wanted to see he would try his best and we seemed to always find the animals!!!! Our room had everything we needed and impeccable! So clean and beautiful! The views were spectacular. Saw wildlife right from our patio. If you are going to South Africa- you must come and stay here. You will not be disappointed!

I had a fantastic time here back in 2018 and wanted to show my wife for our honeymoon, so the expectations were modestly high. Naledi managed to deliver a even better experience and we both loved it! The reservation and payment process was straightforward and easy. Kjell was very responsive throughout, and were able to advise on travel arrangements to ensure we arrive with plenty of time to spare. Once on site, everyone delivered great hospitality and we immediately felt at home. The daily schedule was clear, and we had everything we needed. They were even able to arrange a surprise bouquet for my wife! Oupa and Excellent are great at their jobs, and gave us a fantastic experience seeing all of the big five. We were able to see a leopard at least once a day, and twice saw a pride of lions on the move, which were beyond memorable. The only minor complaint is the early morning call but that comes with the territory The food has improved from my previous visit and we enjoyed all the meals, which were abundant and delicious. We were lucky to have a good group during our stay, so the conversations during meals were enjoyable. Cannot recommend naledi enough and can't wait to visit again!
