Lodges i Balule Game Reserve

You are going to the best in the business if you book at Isambane. The staff is super helpful, kind, fun, and always go above and beyond. Highly recommend this lodge if you search something more intimate. Food is amazing, the game drives are fun and rich, and everything is made for you to feel the best.

Stedet er anbefalelsesværdig med en meget god beliggenhed med flot udsigt til floden, hvor der jævnligt kommer dyr for at drikke. Personalet var enormt venlige og man følte sig tryg. Mange gode gamedrives med rigtig gode rangers - Vi var glade for Clement, Kenneth og Lennart, hvor vi oplevede at specielt Lennart var dygtig til at dele ud af sin store viden omkring dyrene. Det var en stor oplevelse at prøve safariferie.

Probably the best place I've ever been. The attention to detail, the customer first approach and the respect of nature has been astonishing. Best safari experience of my life. Pondoro Game Lodge will always have a special place in my heart!

The meals were well prepared and sometimes elegant. The accommodations were comfortable. We enjoyed the views during the day, the waterhole, and the night sky. But we did not come for those things. We came for the safari drives. We chose this place because we saw the recommendations for Hendrick, the guide, and we noticed that the morning drives start at 5:30 whereas other places start much later, too late for best views of wildlife. We were not disappointed. On our drive from the airport in Hoedspruit, we saw buffalo, warthog, and lions chasing some impala. That evening we saw lions, zebra, elephants. The next morning, a leopard in a tree. That evening, more buffalo, and elegant giraffes. On the last day, we saw male lions and rhinoceros. Hendrick was an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide, and he and Victor worked together. On the last morning, we went to the Oliphants river and saw hippos, baboons, elephants, and crocodiles. It was an amazing experience. I continue to watch the live feed from Dean's Dam every day.

Poul og Victoria fik fra starten os til at slappe af og føle os hjemme og vi nød hver en time af de 4 døgn vi var hos dem. Beliggenheden er enestående Maninghi betyder Plenty og det er sandt! Vi så mange dyr, både på Came Drive, Tur til Kruger park, Bush walk, Pool Safari og Sofa Safari 😎 med et koldt glas vin og en kikkert. Bare ved at “hænge ud” på Maninghi Lodge så vi elefanter, flodheste, krokodille ,vortesvin, empala, kudu, vandbukke og en masse sjove Bavianer. Belligenheden kunne ikke være bedre. Og med Poul til at hente os i Hoedspruit lufthavn, og Victoria der svarede hurtigt på e-mail var det nemt, trygt og langt billigere at booke Safari selv end gennem et selvskab. Poul ved så meget om dyr og har så mange sjove historie så der hver dag grines højt. Han er ekstremt dygtig til at tracke dyrene og gør sig altid umage for at give gæsterne den bedste oplevelse på turene. Victoria styrede køkkenet og alt omkring og stod altid klar med kolde klude når vi kom hjem fra tur. Book et værelse med udsigt til floden. Poul og Victoria har et motto for deres gæster: You come as a guest, and lease as a friend ♥️ og det er sandt. Vi vil helt sikkert komme tilbage.

The best time of our life! I was visiting with my son at Greenfire Game Lodge and enjoyed every minute. The view is breathtaking from every corner of the lodge and to all directions. The lounge area is beautifully designed open space offering tea, coffee and Oma’s Rask 24/7. We had a beautiful room and got lucky to watch a herd of elephants crossing from our balcony. The staff is beyond magnificent and made us feel home away from home. I would like to recommend this unique lodge and will definitely come back again.

Incredible stay at Naledi! We were speechless at the views, hospitality and food. We spent 4 days and 3 nights and wished we’d stayed more. Everything about this place is 5 ⭐️. The game drives were incredible with Erick and Kel. They went to every effort to show us the best and guide us along the way. The service and views in the lodge were unbelievable. We will 100% return but for longer. We can’t thank everyone at Naledi enough!

Really everything: the setting, set-up of the lodge (small, well-maintained gardens), personnel in the lodge and on Game Drives. Comfortable in all aspects. Relatively east access from the gate.
