Ndlovu Safari Lodge

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

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.

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!

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.
