The reserve is home to the Big Five and a stunning variety of other animals. This is your base for thrilling, expertly guided game drives in open safari vehicles.

One of Naledi Bush Lodge’s greatest charms is its versatile and thoughtfully designed accommodation. Whether you're a honeymooning couple, a group of friends, or a family spanning generations, we have the perfect suite—or combination of suites—to suit your needs.

At Naledi, comfort and experience go hand in hand: enjoy air-conditioned suites, three mouthwatering meals daily, morning and evening game drives, an elegant atmosphere, a well-stocked bar, and the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation. And yes—children of all ages are warmly welcome!

Activities

Lodge guests on a private safari in Balule Nature Reserve will find there are no strict routines, just excellent game viewing.

This lodge is ideal for friends travelling together and offers exciting Big Five game drives and fascinating bush walks on a private safari in Balule Nature Reserve. Guests enjoy personalised wildlife adventures with an experienced guide. Day trips into Kruger Park and to surrounding attractions can also be arranged.

The lodge offers twice-daily game drives into the reserve in open safari vehicles. The morning drive departs very early and stops for coffee at a scenic spot in the bush. The afternoon game drive heads out as the day begins to cool and the animals become more active. Watch the sun slip below the horizon while sipping on refreshing sun-downers before continuing on a night game drive.

In the late morning, after a refreshing breakfast, guests can set out to explore the region on foot while on a guided bush walk. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the regions smaller creatures and diverse birdlife. The guide will also tell you about the ecology of the region and the uses of plants. The guides are photo enthusiasts and are more than willing to help guests get a perfect shot.
