Wielewaal Bush Lodge

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and I wish we could have stayed longer! It was by far the best lodge I have ever stayed in. The staff are all very kind, welcoming and respectful. The owners are very dedicated, present and attentive to the little things with the guests. The rooms are comfortable, beautiful and very clean. There are many animals that we visited, it was exceptional! I 100% recommend this place and I would gladly return!

Beautiful location and beautiful people. The owners are fantastic people, kind and welcoming. They also take care of all your needs. I’m celiac and I could eat everything, they cooked separately for me the thing that I couldn’t eat (also the food was excellent). I will come back for sure!!! Highly recommended!

We loved our sty at Wielewaal Bush Lodge. The host's are great, food was perfect, lovely staff and location made are stay very enjoyable. I'd happily recommend staying here to family and friends.

Willy and Retha have created a truly surreal and unforgettable experience at Wielewaal Bush Lodge. From the moment you arrive, their warmheartedness and genuine hospitality stand out and make you feel instantly at home. We stayed in a tent as a family of four, which was very comfortable and included air conditioning, real luxury in the bush. While the beds for the kids were a bit firm and space for luggage took some figuring out, these were minor details compared to the overall experience. Every part of our stay was thoughtfully crafted - even though we were visiting the Kruger during the day, we would look forward to coming back to the lodge. From the delicious three-course dinners with very local/Afrikaans influences to the delightful breakfasts, accompanied by the sight of nearby wildlife, the food was consistently excellent. Watching animals while having breakfast is something you have to experience for yourself. Our kids got some sweet potatoes and fed the animals by hand - an experience they will not forget! The kids absolutely loved it, and they were genuinely disappointed when it was time to leave. In fact, they asked if we could return again and we certainly hope to!

A beautiful lodge with both an absolute eye for details as well as more than excellant service. The personel at the lodge is great. The food is delicious and the owners Retha & Willie are so so so friendly. This is a must go to when you want to visit Kruger but don't want to stay in Kruger or just want more comfort & luxury than in the restcamps but don't want to pay the big bucks of a private game reserve. And the service is even better than in a private game reserve. Retha is a gem of a woman, she for me makes Wielwaal. And Willie is also a great host, especially during the deliciouis boma dinners. The breakfast outside in the bush is also brilliant. Delicious with so much detail for taste and then the hoofed animals from Marloth Park that come for a visit is so nice and fun.

Our stay was perfect from the moment we arrived till our leave. The breakfast and dinners were delicious and varied every day. The hosta and staff were very kind and generous. They help us to organize the game drives. For breakfast you can see zebras very close. The amenities were immaculately clean.
