Fabulous!

Pros: Incredible safari experience at Ndlovu - literally cannot say enough good things about this place! The attention to detail here is incredible. From the moment we were collected from the gate by our ranger April we knew this would be a special experience. Game drives were suburb - we saw the big 5 many times over plus many other animals as well. April is extremely knowledgable and easy to get along with as well. Rooms were huge and gorgeous, the private pool was fabulous. The food was excellent - big shout out to Chef Peter and Chef Simon for keeping us well fed during our stay and making an effort to make delicious vegetarian food for me. Most of all it was the staff who were amazing and special mention of Zach who made us laugh at every meal while maintaining excellent service. Incredible stay and the perfect way to spend our honeymoon!

Cons: Nothing not to like.

A dream come true. Look no further than Ndlovu for your safari holiday.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful rooms, stunning views and settings. The staff were so warm and welcoming. We felt right at home and could not fault the lodge at all, the food was incredible. It was and is absolutely perfect.

Cons: Nothing at all, this is a dream location and lodge.

Pros: We loved everything! The whole team is amazing, especially the manager Sanet, Zack (service) and April (our guide for the game drives) made sure we had a memorable stay. We managed to see all of the big five and will definitely come back to this special place.

Out of this world!

Pros: Best place for when you need time out from the bustling and hustling of the world. Very peaceful, neat and beautiful. The service from the stuff ( waiters, housekeeping, game driver rangers, chefs) was very exceptional and super professional. As for the food, wow!

A truly beautiful experience with lots of wildlife and romance!

Pros: The rooms and service was second to none, absolutely amazing and brilliant! We loved the warm fire in the room as well as every evening relaxing by the outside firepit.

Cons: Basically nothing ! But if I was to nit-pick, I would say that the food felt out of place! You expect to eat game meat and more local food at an African game lodge such as kudu or springbok or more local dishes! Weird to have Norwegian salmon and sushi and sole at a game lodge in Limpopo !

Ndlovu is the perfect getaway to recharge from the hustle and bustle of the city

Pros: Ndlovu Safari Lodge is a magnificent property with staff that live up to that same standard. From the moment we arrived at Welgevonden gate and Phil greeted us with drinks we felt like we were part of the family. The food was immaculate, Chef Peter and his team made sure every meal was one to remember. The rooms were clean and made the trip feel like we were living at a home away from home.

Cons: Everything was great.
