Incredible stay at Naledi! We were speechless at the views, hospitality and food. We spent 4 days and 3 nights and wished we’d stayed more. Everything about this place is 5 ⭐️. The game drives were incredible with Erick and Kel. They went to every effort to show us the best and guide us along the way. The service and views in the lodge were unbelievable. We will 100% return but for longer. We can’t thank everyone at Naledi enough!

Beautiful safari lodge with excellent staff and stunning game drives. Thomas (our main game driver) was excellent and made the drives so much fun. Whilst we unfortunately didn’t see a leopard (due to the numerous lions and elephants pushing them out), we were lucky to see all of the other big 5 on numerous occasions, including lion cubs! The accommodation was the ultimate glamping - comfy beds, in an air conditioned tent with an en-suite power shower. There was also a veranda overlooking the bush and watering hole to spot the animals. The food exceeded all expectations - as a vegetarian I was also looked after for every meal with thoughtful and delicious dishes. The sundowners at the viewpoint overlooking the African sunset cannot be beaten. I wholeheartedly recommend this lodge for any type of traveller looking for a South African safari.

the riverside location was stunning and the placement of the various tents preserved all privacy and prevented peeking in. The resort itself has plenty of wildlife that can be observed during evening game drives (morning game-drive takes the guest to nearby excellence reserve, with possibility to observe big5). Both breakfast, lunch and dinner offered a varied and nice selection and the service and dining area was well cared for.The morning and evening game drives were handled to perfection by well-versed guides who reassured visitors and whose extensive knowledge of the park's fauna and flora helped make the game drives successful and beautiful experiences.

Absolutely outstanding stay! The resort exceeded all expectations — everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The staff were incredibly kind, always smiling, and truly professional. They responded to our requests quickly and made sure we were comfortable at all times. *Special thanks to Surprise, Njabwlo, Lez, and Krestine* — your warmth and dedication made our stay even more special. Also, huge appreciation to the team for organizing amazing excursions and activities — every detail was perfectly arranged. Truly a 7-star service experience from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable getaway. Thank you again to all the wonderful staff

The property was very good, had great facilities such as a nice pool area and the honesty bar. The staff were amazing and really made us feel like family. We even went out for a meal with them on our final evening. Bianca the chef was amazing, all her meals were so good and diverse. Selby our game driver was the best we could’ve asked for, he was amazing at spotting all the animals and taught us so much, was a genuinely nice guy aswell. We already want to come back and will miss all of the staff. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do a safari. We had a perfect experience. The hospitality was amazing aswell, they really do all the little details that made our trip so good.

Wow - didn’t disappoint. Fantastic hosts and staff. Room was beautiful and being able to watch animals right outside was so entertaining I had to keep putting my book down! Wonderful food, plenty of it- and accommodating on diet requirements. Wonderful to have a Boma night too. Brilliant safari guide - Given. Very knowledgeable. Made all guests feel like part of a family and we had great fun. Elephants, monkeys and hyenas all on your doorstep! Thought not having tea and coffee and WiFi in rooms would be an issue for us but actually it meant we all socialised in the main lounge, veranda and pool area making it a much better visit.
