Nedile Lodge

Our experience at Nedile Lodge was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. The lodge is located in a breathtaking setting with panoramic views over the Welgevonden Game Reserve – a place where tranquility, nature, and luxury come together perfectly. The safaris were spectacular! We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, with the highlight being a close encounter with a leopard and a pride of lionesses just meters away. Our ranger was fantastic – knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply respectful of the wildlife. The accommodation is stylish and comfortable, with spacious rooms that offer beautiful views of the bush. Waking up to the sounds of the African wilderness is a truly unique experience. The food was delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Their hospitality made our stay even more special – we even received a warm farewell upon departure. Nedile Lodge is a hidden gem where you can completely unwind and experience the best of African nature. We would highly recommend it to anyone and hope to return someday! Fred & Marjolein

The lodge is set in the very picturesque Welgevonden Game Reserve and certainly is a 5 star place for the food quality and the facilities for a game lodge. Myself and my husband enjoyed several drives with Mornie he was an excellent guide and tracker provided us with lots of information about the animals we saw and about the birds we heard. He has a great way of making you feel at ease by telling us about the way the animals react in different circumstances and also what to do when they get close so although there is always an element of danger we all felt safe in his hands. We saw all the big 5 during our stay which was amazing plus many others. My friends didn't come on the drives but they did manage to see so many species by the watering hole so the safari came to them which they enjoyed. The use of the gym and the massages was also a bonus for them whilst we were on our drives. Kate was very helpful during our visit and Johnathan an excellent host at meal times and for drinks. The kitchen staff provide excellent quality of food with good choices to accommodate most tastes. The rooms were also excellent and we enjoyed the bath with the open view.

We had the pleasure of staying at Nedile Lodge in July, and it was an unforgettable experience. The lodge is absolutely beautiful, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the lovely staff made us feel incredibly welcome and attended to our every need with warmth and professionalism. Our guide, Aoundru, was great. His knowledge of the wildlife and the area was impressive, and he made our game drives both educational and exciting. We were fortunate to see a wide variety of animals up close. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable, offering stunning views of the landscape. Every detail, from the decor to the amenities, was thoughtfully designed to enhance our stay. The meals were delicious and beautifully presented, adding to the overall excellence of our visit. Nedile Lodge provided a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. We left with wonderful memories and a strong desire to return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable safari experience!

My wife and I had the most amazing 4 night stay at the lodge over the easter weekend. The setting and the views from the lodge and on the game drives were amazing, the Welgevondon Reserve is a stunning place to spend time. All of the staff looked after us superbly, the food was very good all week and the selection of drinks matched this brilliantly. The 8 game drives were superbly managed by Morne our guide and we were very lucky to see some very special animals. The quiet and the stillness at the lodge gave us time to relax and we loved to just sit and watch animals as they came to the watering hole.
