Balule Game Reserve – 16 hotels and places to stay

Naledi Lodges lies within the Balule Game Reserve and is located 16 mi from Hoedspruit. It features panoramic views of the African Savannah and features an outdoor swimming pool, restaurant and bar.

Exceeded all expectations. The staff were incredibly warm, generous and on top of everything. They made us feel extra special and we enjoyed their company. Oupa as our guide delivered every single drive. We saw the Big 5 and then some! The meals from Chef Dudu and Chef Sam were spectacular and Marice and Lillian were the best hosts. Room was spacious and beautiful and the beds very comfortable. Every need was met and I just wish we could have stayed longer!

Offering mountain views, Imagine Africa Luxury Tented Camp in Balule Game Reserve has accommodations, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The meals were well prepared and sometimes elegant. The accommodations were comfortable. We enjoyed the views during the day, the waterhole, and the night sky. But we did not come for those things. We came for the safari drives. We chose this place because we saw the recommendations for Hendrick, the guide, and we noticed that the morning drives start at 5:30 whereas other places start much later, too late for best views of wildlife. We were not disappointed. On our drive from the airport in Hoedspruit, we saw buffalo, warthog, and lions chasing some impala. That evening we saw lions, zebra, elephants. The next morning, a leopard in a tree. That evening, more buffalo, and elegant giraffes. On the last day, we saw male lions and rhinoceros. Hendrick was an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide, and he and Victor worked together. On the last morning, we went to the Oliphants river and saw hippos, baboons, elephants, and crocodiles. It was an amazing experience. I continue to watch the live feed from Dean's Dam every day.

Located in the Balule Nature Reserve, Muweti Bush Lodge offers the opportunity for wildlife encounters at its waterhole, where elephants and other game come to drink.

Our stay at Muweti Bush Lodge was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Hardus, one of the staff members, was incredible—so kind and thoughtful throughout our stay. He even made us the most amazing ostrich stir fry, which ended up being one of our favorite meals of our entire South Africa trip! The lodge itself is even more beautiful than the photos online. They honestly don’t do it justice. Everything was spotless, and the tented rooms were super secure and well-insulated, making us feel safe and comfortable while still feeling close to nature. The game drives were beyond anything we expected. We saw so much incredible wildlife up close, and every drive felt like a new adventure. Our most memorable moment was watching a pride of lions try to hunt a baby elephant! If you're looking for a perfect mix of comfort, adventure, and genuine hospitality, Muweti Bush Lodge is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back!

With garden views, MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge is located in Hoedspruit and has a restaurant, a shared lounge, bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace.

It was pure understated elegance and a wonderful experience. The food and the staff were amazing. Every day was different: outdoor braai, elegant dinner, casual lunch .. etc. We tried Kudu and Ostrich and local dishes like Bobooti. It was lovely. Pool is lovely and overlooking a waterhole where elephants would always gather. Safari drives weee excellent. We saw hippo and buffalo and lions and elephants and giraffes and water hog and rhino and zebra and kudu and impala and baboon and crocodile … only thing we didn’t spot was the leopard. Will definitely come again. Staff were incredible too.

    Amazing game drives given by Paul from Maninghi Lodge.

    Amazing game drives given by Paul from Maninghi Lodge. He is the most knowledgable guide we have ever had. His passion and love for the bush is infectious! We thoroughly enjoyed our drives with him, and he was a large part of what made our stay so great!
