Ndlovu Safari Lodge

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!

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.
