Guest Reviews
- Thomas (10/5): Fantastic Safari stay - One of our best Safari stays ever. A fully motivated team, very good accommodation and plenty of animals. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Special thanks to our highly qualified guide and tracker. We can recommend this place without any reservation whatsoever.
- Elliot (10/5): - If we could give 6 stars for our 3 day stay at Naledi we would! We were incredibly well taken care of by Marise, Matthew, Lilian, Decide and Chef Dudu throughout our stay. The food was delicious, our room in the Paperbark suite and the entire property is meticulously maintained, and they made incredible efforts to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. They succeeded! The game drives with Oupa and Excellent exceeded every expectation. They are true experts at guiding and tracking the majestic animals in the Balule reserve, and just incredibly lovely gentlemen to spend time with. We saw so much - yes, the Big 5, but also warthogs and hyenas and giraffes and hippos and zebras and impala herds and beautiful birds; sunset and sunrise and a rainbow one morning took our breath away. On our final sundowners, Oupa and Excellent took us by the Olifant River where we enjoyed the sunset and drinks surrounded by hippos and a grazing rhino. Each day felt like a treasure hunt - we gave very little input, allowing Oupa and Excellent to do their thing, and loved every minute. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip for my wife and I, as we were visiting South Africa from the US for a friend's wedding. I went back and forth between the more well-known reserves (Sabi Sands, Timbavati) and was unsure what we'd be able to see in the summer season (our visit was in late January) - I'm so glad we chose Naledi and if there's ever an opportunity to visit South Africa again, we will be back!
- Martina (10/5): Unvergesslicher Aufenthalt - Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt. Die Mitarbeiter sind so warmherzig und freundlich, dass es sich anfühlt als wäre man eine große Familie. Beim Essen sitzt man zusammen mit den anderen Gästen an einem großen Tisch. Bei den Game Drives kommt man u.a. Löwen und Elefanten nahe. Das Essen war ebenfalls sehr gut und auf die Wünsche der Gäste wird jederzeit eingegangen. Das Deluxe Zimmer (Rockfig Suite) mit eigenem Pool ist sehr geräumig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet.
- Gabriel (10/5): - Quarto amplo e aconchegante, otima comida. Todos funcionarios sao excelentes e antenciosos, nao deixam lhe faltar nada.
- Tamyres (10/5): - I will write in my language because I can express myself better. Foi a melhor experiência que meu marido e eu tivemos. Desde a hora que chegamos até a hora de ir embora. TODOS colaboradores do hotel sem exceção foram fanáticos, nos sentimos como parte da família Naledi. Tivemos um momento incrível na noite do jantar que meu marido estava fazendo aniversário, eles preparam tudo com muito carinho. Os drivers foram fantásticos, super divertidos e atenciosos, a comida de todas as refeições super saborosas e criativas.Eles merecem muito mais do que 10 estrelas. São fantásticos, incríveis, eu super recomendo o hotel. Obrigada a todos da familia Naledi.
- Ethan (10/5): Honeymoon safari - Embarking on this two-day safari for our honeymoon was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with open arms and a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and the area. Their hospitality truly exceeded our expectations. The guides (Opua and Excellent) were not only experts in their field but also passionate storytellers, making each moment on the safari an engaging and enlightening experience. Moreover, the food served during the entire journey was nothing short of exceptional. Every meal was a culinary delight, showcasing both local flavors and international cuisine, and the presentation was simply top-tier. Overall, our time spent here was beyond magical, leaving us with unforgettable memories of breathtaking wildlife sightings, warm hospitality, and gourmet dining. This safari was the perfect way to celebrate our new journey together as a married couple. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure!
- ELOINA (10/5): Perfeito! - Incrível, impecável! Inesquecível!
- José Eduardo (10/5): Aniversário de casamento inesquecível! - O hotel foi incrível! Estadia perfeita desde o check-in ao check-out. Fomos muito bem recebidos pela hostess Alex, que fez os procedimentos de chegada, nos apresentou o hotel e nos levou ao quarto. O hotel é bem pequeno, com, no máximo 13 hóspedes, em 4 bangalôs, o que ajuda a criar um clima muito intimista e relaxado! A localização é incrível, em frente a um poço onde os animais vão se refrescar e beber água, o que proporciona vistas incríveis a todas as horas do dia! Nosso guia Vuyani conhecia os animais com uma profundidade impressionante e o tracker conseguia encontrar os rastros dos animais de maneira impressionante! Já no primeiro dia pudemos avistas-te todos os Big Five e varios outros animais! Ficamos a poucos metros de leões, rinocerontes, elefantes, hipopótamos impalas e tantos animais quanto pudéssemos imaginar. Infelizmente aqui cabem apenas 8 fotos, e é impossível mostrar tudo em tão poucas imagens. Os funcionários do restaurante também eram muito simpáticos e estavam sempre com um largo sorriso no rosto! Foi uma viagem sonho! (Não consegui carregar mais feitos por problemas na internet de capetown, pq a do hotel funcionou sempre muito bem...)
- Pollyanna (10/5): Excelente opção - Hotel maravilhoso, muito confortável. Funcionários muito atenciosos, preocupados com todos os detalhes. As refeições são de excelente qualidade, além de terem uma linda apresentação. Os game drivers são atenciosos e fazem de tudo para nos proporcionar uma boa experiência. Passei meu aniversário no hotel e eles fizeram uma surpresa muito especial, com os funcionários cantando. Um agradecimento especial a funcionária Lilian, que foi muito simpática e cuidadosa com minha mãe. O valor alto da diária é recompensado por toda a experiência que o hotel proporciona.
- Peony (10/5): - The service was outstanding
- CARLOS ADOLFO (10/5): Lodge de excelencia - Incrível .
- Susana (10/5): - Surpassed our expectations. The cottages seemed more like villas. The attention of the staff to detail in everything they did was amazing. We saw the big five and many more animals. We travel a lot and comparing to all other places we have been, we highly recommend Naledi .
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Die Naledi Lodge ist einfach unbeschreiblich! Wir sind dort von Anfang bis Ende verwöhnt worden. Man wird warmherzig empfangen und umsorgt. Wir haben es wahnsinnig genossen jeden Tag zweimal drei Stunden mit unseren Trackern Sidwell und Oupa durch den Busch zu fahren. Das Sahnehäubchen waren die Sundowner und Kaffepausen an toll ausgewählten Orten. Das essen war exzellent, abwechslungsreich und wunderschön anherichtet. Das Gesamtkonzept der Lodge ist erstklassig und außergewöhnlich individuell! Wir werden wieder kommen!
