Unbelievable trip and stay. Staff were friendly and attentive, rooms were well kept and comfy and guides were extremely knowledgeable. The open camp was amazing - the pictures online are accurate and not just for Instagram. We arrived to a herd of giraffe, the impala practically lived there, we had monkeys and occasionally baboons outside our rooms and one night a herd of elephants including babies visited whilst we ate dinner! The reserve itself made safari and close encounters with animals very easy and it was also conveniently close to Kruger national park with the guides having good knowledge of both areas so day trips were easily manageable. Would absolutely recommend and hope to visit again. Thank you all!

A true gem nestled in unspoiled nature, we had an incredibly wonderful time here. The owners, the staff, the lodge – everything was of the highest standard, from the cleanliness and tasteful decor of the rooms, to the attentive and warm welcome, the truly excellent food, and the twice-daily game drives – everything was perfect. A special mention goes to our two field guides, Verena and Loan, who accompanied us on the game drives. No question went unanswered; they both impressed us with their knowledge of nature and their keen eye for special moments. We always felt in the best hands. It was all as if we were traveling with and visiting old friends. Thank you so much for these unforgettable experiences and for allowing us to spend such a wonderful time with you. And last but not least, the lodge is unfenced, which means we were able to admire elephants and giraffes in front of our terrace and throughout the grounds, and never felt unsafe for a second. Thank you!

“Best part of our trip to South Africa”

We are so glad we chose to stay at Baluleni.

We are so glad we chose to stay at Baluleni. What we appreciated most were the fantastic game drives which were in excellent and comfortable vehicles with fantastic guides (shoutout to Joseph who helped us see the big 5 and made us laugh so much!) the food was delicious and we were never left wanting for anything, but also the wild feel of the place, while still enjoying great amenities (air conditioned room, outdoor showers which I loved, gorgeous balcony, pool area with amazing views, huge outdoor fire pit where we often had dinner)… the list goes on! It feels like being back at summer camp, breaking bread with strangers, exploring, chatting, having fun, and taking in the mind blowing African bush. I hope Heike an Andreas never change the feel of the place- anything fancier and it would ruin the magic- Baluleni was exactly the experience we were after. We hope to come back around September, when things are drier and you can spot even more incredible sights at the property itself!
