Naledi Game Lodges

Thanks for that awesome stay at your wonderful Naledi Lodge. It was a highlight from start to finish. We enjoyed every minute and can only recommend a stay. The staff is very welcoming, the Rockfig room is a dream and the game drives with Oupa and Excellent were some of the best of our entire trip.

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!

A trip to South Africa has been on my bucket list for years and I put so much research into where to stay. I am so happy it led me to Naledi because our stay was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived we felt at home and so taken care of the wonderful team. We stayed in the Rockfig suite which was absolutely stunning with a lovely deck and plunge pool. The views throughout the lodge are gorgeous and you can easily see elephants walking by and monkeys in the trees! Our guides Opa and Excellent were truly amazing! We saw the Big 5 as well as hippos, crocodiles, wild dogs, and more. They shared their expertise about tracking, footprints, and the animals. Doing game drives and enjoying coffee in the morning and sundowners with them in the evening was wonderful. One day we went to the watering hole and stayed for a few hours. We saw so many elephants come by for a drink, it was something we will truly never forget! The food was phenomenal! Biscuits/rusks and coffee before the game drive, more biscuits and coffee during the game drive, a full breakfast upon return, a multi course lunch, and a delicious dinner! The chef was so kind and always sharing the menu for each day and asking for preferences. They even would switch our locations around the lodge for lunch and dinner, providing new atmospheres each time. On our last night, they even set up a romantic dinner for us on our deck outside of our room- it was beautiful and such a lovely way to end our trip! The bartender was also fabulous! My husband and I love cocktails, and he was able to whip up martinis, old fashioneds, and other delicious drinks for us! We loved our stay at Naledi, will be recommending it to all our friends, and hopefully will be back ourselves one day!

Everything about Naledi was incredible!! From the moment you arrive and are welcomed by the staff as you pull up, the experience is fabulous!! The staff are incredible, making sure you are well taken care of and enjoying your time at Naledi. Our room was absolutely wonderful...the bed was so comfortable and I loved the way the entire glass wall opened up to our patio and plunge pool. It may have been winter and the water cold, but I still went in. The meals are incredible and they really do go out of there way to meet any and every dietary need you may have. Every meal was special and the cook and serving staff are exceptional. You come for the game drives and they don't disappoint! On our first drive we saw a pride of lions, rhinos, a male lion, elephants giraffes. We saw all the big five as well as, wild dogs, hyenas and more!! I would always say that it's not the big 5...it's the big 7, because sunsets and sunrises are like nothing you have ever seen before....they really are absolutely incredible and I never got tired of them! The overall experience more than we could have hoped for and one that my wife and I will never forget! I am very thankful that we chose Naledi and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting a fabulous safari experience!

Words will not describe the experience we had at Naledi Bush Lodge, the warmth and hospitality was genuine and from the heart!!, The passion and pride was evident in the eyes and Soles of each and every one of the staff which spilled over into every game drive and meal we shared making it a truly special time that we got to share with them and the wild life during our very special game drives. Every one of them unique and. Never will I utter the words " if you've seen one giraffe, lion, Buffalo, elephant, kudu (to name a few ) you've seen them all" every viewing was unique , thank you Naledi Lodge, Naledi staff , for a truly remarkable experience, one that will.be etched in our memory, for eternity, We thank Kal and his family for opening up their large home and freinds in the wild, for us to encounter , as South Africans this trip has opened up a whole new appreciation for the beautiful wonder and magic of Mother Nature in the South of Africa.....five stars goes to the facilities, food, amenities, hospitality , location. We shall miss you all!!! Fond Regards Ursula and Mervyn

Everything was perfect and all of us will remember this place and the people here forever. We definitely are going to come back here!! (If you have Oupa and Excellent as Guide and tracker, you are going to have the best experience of your live!). (The other guides and trackers are of course also amazing!)

The staff here are truly amazing, and is what make this lodge so special. They were all so caring, food was delicious, and we even heard lion and saw elephants right from the lodge. The game trips were exhilarating and enterntaining. The location is gorgeous. Thank you so much!
