Lengau Lodge

Lengau Lodge is a true gem. Guided here by the great reviews, this nature reserve exceeded all of my expectations. The hosts: Loek and Ilsa run a boutique lodge with a family-like feel. The meals are made fresh by Ilsa and the staff and cater to all your dietary needs (be sure to inform them prior!!). We had 2 vegans and one gluten free in our family and they loved the meals! Loek and Ilsa are constantly curious about how to make your stay as exceptional as possible, they made sure we had drinks to watch the sunset by the pool and cappuccinos to kick off our day! The Lodge is located inside of Kruger Park and Loek offers lovely morning and late afternoon safari drives ( i highly recommend the late afternoon safari). The 2 bedroom stays are a little more romantic though- which means this is perfect for a private getaway but maybe a little tight for a work-related retreat. People should be aware that the lodge only has an elephant fence, meaning that any other animal can come in and out of the property (yes that includes lions and leopards). It really freaked me out at the beginning but actually ended up being an enjoyably unique aspect of the stay. They also have a water hole where animals come to drink and you can view the animals stopping by from your room- such a treat!! The pool was beautiful and conveniently situated and I took a dip nearly every day!

The only thing missing was fridges in the rooms, Ilsa and Loek, however, already noted it and I believe will make the appropriate adjustments.

Room and facilities were beautiful, loved the pool. Food was amazing.

Our stay was fantastic. The hosts are incredibly friendly and we felt very comfortable. Our room was well equipped and very clean. The food, freshly prepared by Ilse, was excellent. You are in the middle of nature and any minute an animal could walk by. That was really exciting. Thank you so much for such a lovely time with you. We will definitely come back again.

Loek and Ilse are super nice, friendly and supportive! They provide a great service, attention and care for guests - we felt very comfortable and truly enjoyed our stay. Breakfasts and dinners made by Ilse were just great, delicious and nice - we definitely enjoyed all the dishes, taste and look. Menu was adopted for pescatarian so it’s very tailored for guests needs. Lodge is new and great, stylish authentic design, and you have all what you need with a great comfort. Location is in the middle of the safari park with a chance to meet elephants, lions, leopards or other animals nearby the local water pot or hotel entrance. There is a bit bumpy road, but that’s safari park, still good to keep in mind (it will be fine for SUV or car with a normal ground clearance, lower cars not recom). Note, that Google gave us the wrong direction to the place from the main road but Loek provided good support.

Nothing to complain.

I cannot find fault with Lengau. From the warm welcome you receive on arrival, to the delicious food prepared by Ilse , the magnificent location and gorgeously styled lodge. Lengau is truly an experience money can’t buy. Loek and Ilse definitely are more than accommodating and lovely hosts that make you feel like family. Cant wait to return
