We arrived a day later due to our flight cancellation, I emailed to thee host and I got an immediate reply and they were waiting for us in the morning with a hot breakfast.We had a fantastic experience at Baluleni.,They treated like family and we had great conversation with thosts Elke and Evert .All our meals were delicious ,on time and of just perfect portion, Two nights we had most memorable dinner under the stars and beautiful Boma(the other 2 nights we had showers so sat inside the restaurant) ,The butternut soup was one of a kind and it was scrumptious.We spotted some animals right from our room balcony as well.We had wonderful experience and we would go back to stay there again.All staffs are fantastic and the hosts were delightful ,they put their hearts in taking care of us. We felt like that we left our family behind when we left .

Excellent private lodge with personal service

Baluleni Lodge was the perfect place for my Kruger Safari vacation. Owners Elke and Evert have made a special place at Baluleni and I can't wait to come back again.
It started by being greeted at my car by guide Damien and Evert. They assisted me with my luggage and I was taken straight away to the lodge for lunch. The chef makes up a variety of South African cousin that I couldn't get enough of. The food was delicious! After lunch I was escorted to my beautiful lodge. I love the balcony overlooking the river bed. The lodge was well appointed and clean.
I had booked the safari package, so I was kept quite busy with the game drives. Guide Damien was well informed and knew where to go to spot the game. I saw several lions as well as many other animals. I was so thrilled. I especially recommend to do the full day Kruger tour. It was long, but well worth it. Riding with Damien wasn't just about seeing the animals, but learning about them and their social structure and mating habits plus more. I felt like I learned so much about the game animals and how they live.
If I was going to write only one complaint, it would be that the stay was too short. I wish I had one extra day just to relax and enjoy the beautiful pool. The 3 day safari package keeps you very busy, but the value is truly exceptional.

A wonderful lodge to explore Kruger from.

An authentic Kruger experience. Delightful hosts, knowledgeable rangers who knew the best spots to see the animals. The chalets are clean, great food and a super swimming pool. Definitely consider seriously when you're thinking about Kruger.

Andreas und Heike zusammen mit dem Personal geben sich wirklich viel Mühe und sind super nett. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und abends immer noch ein Highlight in der Boma mit Lagerfeuer in der Runde. Schön gemacht. Die Zimmer sind top und bieten wirklich viel Platz. Alles vorhanden was man braucht. Von der Lage her sehr ruhig mit vielen Tiersichtungen bereits in der Lodge. Auch die Safarifahrten waren wirklich toll. Die Guides geben sich viel Mühe, damit man möglichst viele Tiere sieht. Sehr schöne Lodge.

Die Baluleni Safari Lodge ist einfach nur traumhaft. Großartiges Personal, fantastisches Essen und ein tolles Riverside Chalet machten unseren Aufenthalt unvergesslich. Jeden Tag konnten wir Elefantenherden von unserer Terrasse oder dem Pool aus beobachten. Die Game Drives am Morgen und Nachmittag waren spannend und informativ zugleich, und das alles in einer familiären Atmosphäre. Wir kommen wieder!

Die Betreiber Heike und Andreas sind sehr herzliche Menschen. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Wir hatten tolle Game drives mit sehr engagierten und kompetenten Guide (Tijan). Nur das Chalet am Wasserloch hat uns wegen der vielen Mücken nicht gefallen. Dennoch können wir diese Unterkunft zum ersten Kennenlernen von Tieren und der Safari Erfahrung als auch zum entspannen sehr empfehlen

Deux journées très paisibles a ne rien faire sauf se laisser balader à observer des animaux dans le véhicule confortable malgré les pistes très bosselées , bons repas avec les propiétaires et accueil impeccable : on aurait du prendre trois nuits au lieu de deux !!

Fantasic choice in greater Kruger

An absolut fantastic stay for me and my 2 children.
Tanks to Elke and Evert who is the owner of Baluleni for create such a relaxed atmosphare at the lodge.
Fantastic game drives with very knoledgeable rangers who was concern to find game and so we did, lion, elephants and all we expected.
They also have us much knowledge about the nature and the reserve as sunch which was very much appreciated.
Excellent food from the kitchen.
The lodge is in the middle of the wild and we really felt to be a part of it with animals very close by.
It was a most enjoyable stay and again, Thank you all employees at the lodge for making our stay a fantastic one.
