Serondella and the staff are truly amazing - we had a large group of friends on safari for 4 nights and everything was exceptional - the food, service, spa, and especially the trackers and guides - were all excellent. Pack light - laundry is done every day and you get to spend a lot of time out on game drives. Highly recommend!

Serondella exceeded all expectations! The Botsotso suite was impeccable - it was spacious for our family of 5. The beds were extremely comfortable and every little necessity they have thought of. Laundry done daily, turndown service and the food offering was great.kids could sometimes on the heated pools the deck s were relaxing while looking over the watering hole. So accommodating for children. The staff from every aspect were helpful. The game viewing was amazing we got to see all of the Big5 and more. The gin stops were superb and bush breakfast topped the charts. Serondella filled our African bush hearts to the max.

This was our third time at the Serondella and we spent the most magnificent 9 days there. Everything from the stunning accommodations to the food, to the kindness shown us and the beyond professional team was over the top and first class. We have been to Africa 5 times and at this point there is just no need to go anywhere else to experience the wonders of being on safari. When you stay for more than just a few days you really relax and have the time to truly be in the moments of this magical place. My heart will always be on the deck, watching the elephants at the water hole while having the best breakfast. We are counting the days until we can return again. Thank you to everyone at Serondella for making us feel like family. We will cherish our family adventure with you forever.

My daughter and I just returned from Africa where we stayed at the Serondella Safari Lodge in the Thornybush Game Reserve. It’s hard to put into words how exceptional our experience was. We have been blessed to stay in many fabulous hotels but nothing compares to the personalized service, excellent food, and attentive and friendly staff at Serondella. This is a Five Star place. ( I think it only serves a maximum of 14 guests at a time) The safaris were other worldly ( we saw the big 5 within the first 24 hours), the guide and tracker were knowledgeable and fun. Each morning we were met with hot chocolate (or coffee) and a hot water bottle to keep us warm on the early morning drive. Upon our return we would be greeted with warm towels and, in the evening, a shot of some very tasty beverage. Each day from our room (or our private plunge pool) we could watch giraffes, elephants and rhinos come to the lodge’s watering hole! I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Unbelievable, magical and unforgettable!! If you are thinking about Africa, put Serondella at the top of your list.

An incredible stay, with amazing food, workers, and animals. It was our guide and tracker Benji and Jeffery who really made it perfect. They are the best and know exactly how to make you feel at home and give you the best possible experience . Also Anold was incredible and his house drinks were top tier. Everyone else was amazing as well. Couldn’t ask for a better vacation, choose serondella.

Wow. Just wow! Serondella is like heaven on earth. A truly fabulous lodge with amazing staff. Greeted with a large smile, a drink & a warm towel from the minute you arrive you feel very special. We stayed in the family suite which was like a huge house! Your every need is catered for at the lodge and they also throw in a few wonderful surprises along the way. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is awesome and there's a fully stocked bar everywhere you turn! Anold looked after us so well. The safari experience was absolutely incredible. Our guide Liam & tracker were absolutelly brilliant. We saw absolutely everything. I think we saw the big 5 in the first hour! Watching the animals come to the watering hole at the lodge is such a special experience. Our children (13 & 14) spent hours watching and taking photos. We had the most magical week as a family. Met some wonderful people & had some unforgettable experiences. I can't recommend Serondella enough. Thank you so much to all the staff, each and every one of them made our stay so special.

We were pleasantly surprised by this amazing and intimate lodge! The staff is absolutely wonderful! Peter, Bongi and Alfred made us feel right at home! The rooms are beautifully styled and overlooked a very lively waterhole! We had the pleasure of having elephants right in front of us while in our heated private plunge pool! The food and dining experiences was absolutely amazing! They went the extra mile by preparing a private dinner in the bush and made my birthday extra special! The game viewing is spectacular as well! We loved everything about this lodge and will definitely be back!!

Don’t consider your other options. Serondella is it. To the whole team who made our stay exceptional. There was not one person that was average and the whole team doted around us with everything needed to make our stay the most memorable. The people – with a very special mention to Girlie, our person. Available all the time for us with efficiency and the most beautiful smile. We traversed with area with TJ who was awarded Game Ranger of the Year. His knowledge, professionalism, gentleness, engagement with us and kids. His knowledge was off the charts. We’ve never had a better ranger. And to mention too… • The game • The waterhole right in front of the lodge – buffalo, giraffe, elephant, hyena and wild dogs all in a day’s work. And a kill that happened in front of the lodge while we were out. • The national geographic day that we experienced • The rooms • The finishing touches… • The food • The laughter • Breakfast in the bush Thank you to Laura and the whole team.
