Ndlovu Safari Lodge

This was truly a beautiful experience, from start to finish. I would so highly recommend coming here and when we come back to Welgevonden, we will definitely come back here. The lodge is beautifully kept, designed, adorned, you really feel very good here. There is a water hole just in front of the eating area so you can see animals there while you eat! The team, starting from the Manager, the cooks, the staff, and the rangers are such warm, inviting and big hearted people, everything about our stay here was perfect. There was not one thing that could have been better. The level of care is just what you want. Cleanliness and service was superb. Food is delicious, the cooks are amazing and April our guide was so experienced and in tune with the reserve and the animals, he is a wealth of knowledge and he intuitively moves through the reserve, it was amazing. Saw the big 5, and more. We really could not have had a better time. Thanks team Ndlovu! see you next time!

Flawless! The facilities, staff and food were outstanding. The attention to detail is exceptional. Our ranger was skilled, experienced, knowledgable, and obliging. The manager was attentive and efficient. Camp Ndlovu is possibly the best game lodge I have visited.

Amazing place, service was 6 star, food was outstanding, rooms were fantastic. Highly recommended. The staff went above and beyond our special requests. The food quality was above or equal to any top restaurants in SA. The game viewing was great and the park is very well maintained.

What an amazing experience! We were cared after every second of our stay. The rooms are beautiful, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly, and the food was just perfect. Thanks to Sanet & her wonderful team. You guys really went the extra mile to make our weekend a little more special!

Spectacular service!! Guide Steven did a wonderful job as did Chef Nicholas, George, and David and the rest of the staff. Made us feel special!! We left feeling very spoiled and like we had made new friends! Everything was first-rate!! Very highly recommend!!! A MUST!!

A escape from everything. Impeccable service luxury in the Bush. From the food to service to the amazing animals what a escape and true African Bush experience. Steven our game driver guide was amazing . Sanet and team at the lodge equally amazing highly recommended . Saw the big five and had unforgettable memories.

Where should I begin.. When arriving at camp Ndlovu, we were overwhelmed with a feeling of tranquility. This place is so beautiful and secluded. From the verranda you can look directly at passing animals and monkeys sitting in the trees. The rooms were decorated in beautiful style, fully equipped with goodies, drinks and even with spare travel outlets. Camp Ndlovu has a very friendly staff, from the chef and kitchen staff to the manager and the ladies from the spa(who really give good massages!) The ranger during our stay, named Steven, was a very energetic and humorous person, with a lot of experience in the bush. A very good driver, lots of fun when the hills were steep! We did see a lot of wildlife in the few days we stayed at Welgevonden. The food.. half of our family is vegetarian. Although the chef and kitchen staff cooked great meat dishes for the carnivores among us, the vega part was sublime. Don't expect just 'pasta with a sauce', the chef prepared varied and healthy vegetarian meals for us. All with fresh and nutritional ingredients. We had a great but too short stay at camp Ndlovu, we certainly want to come back at this place!

What an amazing way to start the new year. Camp Ndlovu is everything it promises to be and then some. We were greeted by the manager standing in for Sanet, Moses, who was professional and friendly at all times. He went out of his way to make us feel as though the Camp belonged to us and to make our stay as comfortable as possible. It was a pleasure to be greeted by his smiling face every morning, and his energy and laughter were infectious. The rooms were beautiful, and ours, room number 5, had a gorgeous view of the river and trees. It was such an experience to swim and watch the wildlife come to the river to drink while never having to leave the privacy of our room. But most impressive was the cleanliness of the rooms. They were impeccably clean. Thank you to the ladies who cleaned them every day for us. Our meals were all delicious and beautifully prepared by Chef Lawrence. The best of all were the breakfasts, and next time we visit, we will definitely take him up on his offer of breakfast served on a game drive. The dinner served in the boma will always be remembered for the delicious smokey lamb. Clifford and Jack made sure we were served our meals and drinks with a smile and Clifford will be remembered for his delightful sense of humour and agreeable manner. Thank you Clifford for making sure we got back to our room safely every night. And lastly a huge thank you to our guide, April. He has a vast knowledge of every bird, plant, insect and animal in the game reserve. April is able to answer any question when asked and each question is answered in the same calm and measured way. He has an enormous love for the animals and nature in the area. I already miss his Bush coffee that he prepared for us on the morning game drives. We had an incredible holiday, made so special by the extraordinary people who work at Camp Ndlovu. Thank you all of you, we left already making plans for a return visit

What an amazing experience!!! When I say everything was perfect, I mean everything was perfect cannot fault a thing. The chef is first class and the food, OMW delicious!!!. The game drives were straight out of a magazine :) . This lodge goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable at all times. Little touches like running a bubble bath every evening when you get back from your game drive was just the best experience ever!!! A BIG Thank You to Sanet, April and ther team, what a great weekend. Will go back in a heart beat.
