We recently had an unforgettable stay at Ndlovu Safari Lodge in Welgevonden, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and welcoming ambiance made it stand out from other five-star lodges we’ve visited over the years. The lodge's exclusivity, personalized service, and limited number of beautifully decorated rooms (complete with outdoor baths and showers) made for a truly intimate experience. The view from our private, spacious deck and plunge pool was breathtaking, and attention to detail was impeccable throughout—everything from the stylish decor to the beautifully presented meals is thoughtfully curated and well-maintained. Each evening, we returned from our game drives to find a perfectly drawn bubble bath and the cozy glow of crackling fireplaces. The game drives were remarkable, with rhino sightings being a highlight, and the gin tasting in the bush added a unique touch to our adventure. The boma dinner, accompanied by the staff's captivating singing performance, was an experience that we’ll treasure for years to come. Every moment at Ndlovu Safari Lodge was exceptional, making our stay one we will always remember.

The people working at Ndlovu are what makes it such an unforgettable experience. Our guide, April, was the perfect guide in every way. The chef and kitchen staff do an incredible job and the variety of meals is impressive. The rooms are huge and are very private , own pool, stunning view, with every need being catered for. The service at the lodge is just next level. Such a relaxing weekend

What can I say to describe our time at Ndlovu…. My mum and I came here after a long-held ambition to go on safari, and we couldn’t have picked a better place. Sanet and her incredible team were so helpful, hospitable and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The food was exquisite and the chefs came out every evening to make sure we’d enjoyed our meal, and the rangers (April and Phil) that took us out were incredible. They didn’t stop until we’d seen everything and taught us so much, not just about the animals but so much more. The view from the lodge looked out over the watering hole so even while in the pool or eating lunch you could see zebras, warthogs, monkeys and even an elephant or two. Thank you Sanet and your wonderful team for making us feel at home in the time we were with you, and making our first safari one we’ll never forget and felt quite emotional to leave. Truly magical, I can’t recommend enough!

My 9 year old son would like to give Ndlovu a 5 star rating. We had the most memorable, life changing experience there. The suite we stayed in was absolutely wonderful. Fluffy towels, big comfy beds, outdoor shower (epic). Babbons in the trees to wake you up (still epic!). The food cooked by Nicholas and Peter was divine and nothing was out of the question. All so fresh. Lerato and George were the perfect hosts. Looking after the children and showing them all the animals we didn’t know were there. And April our ranger guide was the most wonderful man. Such amazing knowledge and information on all the animals and plants and where to find them. Best tracker ever. We loved our stay and want to return immediately.

Our second visit to Ndlovu, reminded us what a special place Welgevonden is. The rooms here are stunning and have every amenity one could possibly want. The outdoor spaces in the suites and communal areas are wonderful, spacious and have fantastic views of the watering hole which attracts various wildlife day and night. The chefs, Nicolas and Jane, are an amazing asset, as the food is truly top class. Philemon was an expert guide and provided us some great wildlife sightings. The new touches in the rooms & gym were thoughtful additions. We felt the waiting staff on our previous trip were of a higher standard in their attention to detail and service level. This lodge has changed ownership recently and whilst it was good to briefly meet the owners we felt their constant presence of living onsite and utilising the facilities made for a slightly awkward atmosphere as a guest, and for the staff too. It felt a little like their private Lodge which happened to have some extra guests staying. I hope in time the owners allow the highly experienced manager, Sanet, the bandwidth to do her job and not detract from a truly fantastic experience.

A very Big Thank you to the incredible staff at Ndlovu Safari Lodge 🐘 We had the most spectacular experience! We managed to see the Big 5 thanks to our wonderful Ranger April. With his knowledge and leadership skills we were ensured of front row seats for all our sightings! the staff couldn’t do enough for us and catered to our every need! The suites are perfect, privacy, luxury and every comfort you can think of. Thank you for making my husbands birthday so special and memorable! We will be back! 🤩❤️👏🏻 10/10 rating!

I can’t say anything negative whatsoever. From the moment we arrived every single person at Ndlovu couldn’t do enough for us. From the cleanliness to the food to the friendliness every single aspect of our trip was just perfect. My daughter was ill when we were there and the care and attention from everyone there was so heartwarming. I’d give anything to go back and really hope I do one day. Thank you all for everything. ❤️

This was truly a beautiful experience, from start to finish. I would so highly recommend coming here and when we come back to Welgevonden, we will definitely come back here. The lodge is beautifully kept, designed, adorned, you really feel very good here. There is a water hole just in front of the eating area so you can see animals there while you eat! The team, starting from the Manager, the cooks, the staff, and the rangers are such warm, inviting and big hearted people, everything about our stay here was perfect. There was not one thing that could have been better. The level of care is just what you want. Cleanliness and service was superb. Food is delicious, the cooks are amazing and April our guide was so experienced and in tune with the reserve and the animals, he is a wealth of knowledge and he intuitively moves through the reserve, it was amazing. Saw the big 5, and more. We really could not have had a better time. Thanks team Ndlovu! see you next time!

Flawless! The facilities, staff and food were outstanding. The attention to detail is exceptional. Our ranger was skilled, experienced, knowledgable, and obliging. The manager was attentive and efficient. Camp Ndlovu is possibly the best game lodge I have visited.
