Nedile Lodge

This trip in may was my third stay at Nedile and I hope to get back in the future. The accommodations are wonderful and staff very accomodating. Kate and Hanro have been there all three times, the last two as managers and they make everyone feel welcome. The Rangers are some of the best in South Africa. They find the animals in the bush and get us as photographers in wonderful postions for our photographs while keeping us safe. They are very knowledgeable on the wildlife and there habits as well as Welgovonden Game reserve. My last two trips have been on my birthday and the staff have mede both days special. I have told people the the staff has helped make Welgovonden Game Reserve and Nedile Lodge my "Happy Place". I would recommend it to all!

The lodge is set in the very picturesque Welgevonden Game Reserve and certainly is a 5 star place for the food quality and the facilities for a game lodge. Myself and my husband enjoyed several drives with Mornie he was an excellent guide and tracker provided us with lots of information about the animals we saw and about the birds we heard. He has a great way of making you feel at ease by telling us about the way the animals react in different circumstances and also what to do when they get close so although there is always an element of danger we all felt safe in his hands. We saw all the big 5 during our stay which was amazing plus many others. My friends didn't come on the drives but they did manage to see so many species by the watering hole so the safari came to them which they enjoyed. The use of the gym and the massages was also a bonus for them whilst we were on our drives. Kate was very helpful during our visit and Johnathan an excellent host at meal times and for drinks. The kitchen staff provide excellent quality of food with good choices to accommodate most tastes. The rooms were also excellent and we enjoyed the bath with the open view.

We had the pleasure of staying at Nedile Lodge in July, and it was an unforgettable experience. The lodge is absolutely beautiful, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the lovely staff made us feel incredibly welcome and attended to our every need with warmth and professionalism. Our guide, Aoundru, was great. His knowledge of the wildlife and the area was impressive, and he made our game drives both educational and exciting. We were fortunate to see a wide variety of animals up close. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable, offering stunning views of the landscape. Every detail, from the decor to the amenities, was thoughtfully designed to enhance our stay. The meals were delicious and beautifully presented, adding to the overall excellence of our visit. Nedile Lodge provided a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. We left with wonderful memories and a strong desire to return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable safari experience!
