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. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan 19 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Stefan Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Sehr schöner, familiärer Aufenthalt, liebevoll zubereitetes Essen, kenntnisreiche Safaris ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Safari Baluleni was a highlight of our trip - only wish we stayed longer! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariele Helena 15 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel perfeito!
