From the staff cooking each set meal, the arrival drinks right through to the amazing game drive rangers doing the twice daily drives we were looked after in the kindest most fantastic way. The accomodation is comfortable and the views chosen to help see the best of African animals. With the option to have a massage inbetween drives. We are already planning longer time to go back. The owner often personally checks in on guest which was such a nice touch. Outside shower was a real luxury :)

True hidden gem

The lodge is totally open on the reserve, animals come, staff is very caring, we had a great family stay. Just the rooms would need a little makeover but it is very clean and sometimes meals a bit casual at noon, just a dish without dessert. We recommend without hesitation! Thank you for this timeless stay

A lovely experience

What a special place. Their motto is “come as guests, leave as friends” and that was certainly our experience. The accommodations, the food, the guides, and the setting were all exceptional. The warmth of the staff and the attention to detail make you feel right at home. Our guides, Klaas and Tian, were very knowledgeable not only about the wildlife but also about the flora and the history of the area. In our open jeep, we were able to experience the animals up close but also safely. Our guides with their tracking knowledge and keen eye enabled us to see a wide variety of animals: elephants, giraffes, impalas, wildebeests, water buffalo, lions, wild dogs, hyenas, greater kudus, hippos, and more. Some of our favorite sightings were of mothers and babies, specifically the mother and baby elephants and a pride of lions (although my favorite animals overall were the Greater Kudus--what an incredible animal!). Our stay at the lodge was also enhanced by the wonderful meals and special eco-friendly toiletries available. Everyone was so kind and welcoming that we hope to able to return again one day.

Incredible Safari Experience

Our time at Baluleni Safari Lodge was my favorite part about our trip to South Africa. We received a warm welcome, excellent food, comfortable lodging, and the game drives were amazing. Our guide, Klaas, was passionate and knowledgable about the wildlife. We saw so many animals and learned so much. Elephants walking through the grounds of the lodge was a highlight. Thank you Baluleni for making our stay so wonderful. We hope to see you again!

Amazing time at Baluleni Lodge

We spent 5 days at Baluleni and had such a great experience!  The lodge itself was beautiful and we really felt immersed in nature (daily wildlife viewings from elephants, giraffes, owls, impala, and more). The cabins were really cute and comfortable, and great for couples and friends. I loved sleeping with just the screen door and hearing the wildlife outside! The staff and administration were friendly and helpful.  Our guides were fantastic, we spent most of our time with Sky and Klas who always went out of their way to make our game drives and day trips great.  We saw so much wildlife and learned a lot, from animal tracks, vegetation, birds, and the big 5.

Amazing Safari Experience!

We had an amazing experience at Baluleni. From the moment we got there until we left the staff were brilliant - extremely welcoming and everything was top tier. Food was great. Special mention to our rangers Tian and Skkye who did a great job.

10/10 safari break

We had a wonderful experience at Baluleni Safari Lodge. The setting of the Lodge is wonderful including beautiful encounters at the Lodge (Girafes, Elephants, Impalas, Monkeys, etc etc). The owners and guides are very welcoming, kind and enable the best experience for their guests.

Great experience

We had an amazing experience in Baluleni Safari Lodge, the staff is so welcoming, the food is top class, we had multiple game drives, in the morning and in the evening (Diane the tour guide) comes highly recommended as he take his time to explain the nature of the animals. The hospitality is so good ,even the owners they are so humble and welcoming …We don’t regret spending our anniversary there. Almost forgot we had friends from Germany, we were learning a little bit of Germany😄. It was a German experience in Africa.

Stayed at Baluleni for 3 nights and can't speak highly enough for what an amazing lodge this is. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Janine and a welcome drink, the hospitality and attention to making every moment memorable is like nowhere else we've stayed in the world. Arriving a little late and missing the evening game drive, the owner Andreas, kindly took us out himself for a drive and most amazing evening sundowner! So kind, and some life memories seeing our first lions!
The chalet is so beautiful and relaxing and impeccably clean. The pool area too so relaxing to spend a few hours in between game drives. And the food is incredible. Amazing breakfasts looking out over the beautiful grounds, and 3 course evening meals in the boma with a fire! A really talented chef who created some incredible menus for us.
We did 5 game drives and a river tour. Our guide Tian is an incredible asset to Baluleni. So knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and clearly in love with his surroundings! His passion to pass on his knowledge and make your day really shines through, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Drinking coffee in the bush at 6am as the sun comes up is something we won't forget fast, thanks Tian.
A beautiful lodge in a beautiful place, made more special by the hospitality. From the owners, Andreas and Heike to literally all the staff, the friendliness and warmth is like nowhere else. Our car was even cleaned before we left!!
Thanks so much for a memorable stay.

Baluleni is stunning!

Unfenced on the Oliphant River, if you enjoy wildlife, this is it. You have to vigilant as the wildlife wanders through. Dinner around the fire, under the stars in a Boma is just magic. The owners and staff are great. The care Nomsa took with the meals was amazing, particularly with my wife who is vegan.The chalets are very nice, particularly with a river view deck. The game drives are of course our reason for being there. Early morning and sundowner drives are different but glorious. We saw a wide range of wildlife, but leopard, 5 lion sightings, numerous elephants and a a variety of antelope and birds were special. A day trip to the Kruger the boat on the Oliphants River and bushwalk are worth your time. The guide's skill and knowledge really make a game drive and Sky, Tian and Niko (spelling?) are some of the best. The housekeeping, bar service, gardeners and laundry were excellent. The pool was welcome on hotter days. Sitting around with guests from all over the world, discussing your day really made it special.
