We recently stayed at Baluleni for 4 nights and had an absolute blast. The rooms are beautiful and genuinely luxurious, with stunning bush views, a lovely balcony, and an outdoor shower. The highlight, of course, was the safaris. The reserve is teeming with wildlife and every drive felt different. One thing to note is that the vegetation can be quite dense, which makes sightings feel earned rather than guaranteed. If you're looking to tick off a checklist in 48 hours, this might not be the place for you. But if you stay a little longer and embrace the experience, it becomes incredibly rewarding. A special mention to our guides, Luan and Klaas. We only saw lions on day 3, but that never mattered because Luan's knowledge of the birds, smaller wildlife, trees and the ecosystem was incredible. Klaas is an exceptional tracker, and watching him track buffalo through the bush was genuinely exhilarating. Having been on safaris in three different African countries, I can honestly say Luan and Klaas are among the best guides we've had. We also did the optional bush walk with Eugene, which I'd highly recommend. The only minor downside was that we would have liked a few more lunch options, though that's very much a personal preference. The three-course dinners were excellent.

We absolutely loved our stay. We stayed in the Bushveld Room and seeing giraffes running around in the field right in front of our room was such a special experience! The room itself was spotless and very comfortable with great amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable. The owners are very welcoming and the whole team made us feel so well looked after throughout our stay. The food was also excellent- with a great mix of traditional South African dishes and more classic options. A special mention to the guides who truly went above and beyond to make every game drive memorable. Their passion and knowledge really made the experience. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to come back one day 🤗

“Perfect safari feeling”

Animals are often joining the lodge. We enjoyed also our trip to Kruger NP with Claas. He knows all about the animals and is a great spotter. On our game drives we always saw something new.

Animals are often joining the lodge. We enjoyed also our trip to Kruger NP with Claas. He knows all about the animals and is a great spotter. On our game drives we always saw something new. Many animals like elephants are often close to the lodge. The food was delicious. The rooms are clean and comfortable. And the staff was very kind and always helpful. Thank you very much for a beautiful time.
