A unique experience where you are looked after like royalty.

Pros: Such amazing staff with a small sale of the property making it special.

Exceptional accommodation and service!

Pros: We visited Naledi during our honeymoon and everything about this lodge was just perfect. From the moment we arrived, we had the staff waiting for us with hot towels and drinks. The meals were exceptional with no detail spared and decorated just perfectly. Two 3hr game drives a day with very experienced and knowledgeable rangers. Staff would be waiting for us with hot towels and coolers after each game drive. We saw 4 of the big 5 on most days during our game drives plus other animals such as zebras, giraffes, hippos etc. On our last night, we had an elephant grazing in our backyard while we had dinner. This was so special and a memory we’ll never forget. The staff were beyond exceptional, always presenting themselves with a smile and super helpful. Naledi offers luxury in the jungle. Maximum number of guests at the lodge is 12 so it’s a super personal service. We can’t wait to visit again!

Cons: Cannot fault anything at all.

Been twice, will be back again!!

Pros: Naledi is a hidden gem. A small number of rooms means you get a very personal experience. The guides are highly knowledgeable and whilst the lodge is not located in the main part of the Kruger National Park, we were able to see lots of game including big cats.

An amazing time with lots of close animal encounters and unforgettable moments.

Pros: Our stay at Naledi was simply magical. The lodge had a beautiful location right in the bush, was very clean, and the rooms were comfortable. All of the staff were incredibly kind and committed to personalizing our stay to get the best experience possible. The trackers did an excellent job of finding and getting close to animals during the game drives. Whenever possible, we got to spend several minutes in silence marveling at lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, and other animals just a few meters away from us. We're still thinking and talking about the incredible moments we experienced during our stay and will highly recommend Naledi to everyone who's looking for a sustainable, close-up, and comfortable safari experience.

Cons: No complaints
