Greater Kruger National Park Hotel Guide - Balule Private Nature Reserve hotels in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa.

"An amazing safari lodge, with stunning location, views, great food and accommodation. The "honeymoon" suite is amazing. We saw all the big 5 in two drives! And saw so much wildlife over our trip it was absolutely fantastic, so many sightings every day - thank you Gareth and James, your amazing knowledgeable, friendly manner, your wildlife knowledge, spotting ("leopard man" James) and good humour made the trip! A truly fantastic lodge!"

"This was an absolutely stellar experience! The staff at the lodge were truly wonderful, thoughtful and always ready to help. And the pool was fantastic, situated right next to the watering hole where you could relax and watch wildlife. The food was exceptional, and each meal came with a thoughtful wine pairing. With two game drives a day. Our guide Prem had eagle eyes. The exta bonus evening drive was a nice touch. The entire experience was simply unforgettable. Can’t recommend it highly enough!"

"Exceeded any expectations! Stellar service, mouthwatering food & impressively talented & knowledgeable safari guides. Look nowhere else. "

"Had a last minute stay here when my mother in law needed emergency care at the hospital. It’s really the only option when you need to check in last minute and after 10 pm. I can’t say enough about how lovely, accomodating and patient the front desk staff were. The grounds are Lovely, beds super comfy and pools very refreshing. We usually stay in smaller bush b and b’s in Hoedspruit. But if you’re looking for a more luxurious resort style break this place is top notch. "

"Excellent staff, wonderful room, comfortable bed, beautiful setting."

"The host was spectacular and the staff kind and helpful. Loved the Safari decor in the great hall. The rooms were really nice, good mini fridge, great tub and separate shower. The breakfast was delicious! Location was great- and secured entry onto the estate. Great place to walk about and see wild warthogs, kudu, steenbok and monkeys. It was a perfect spot to be to drive to all the animal places (endangered species center, Jessica the hippo, the elephant sanctuary/orphanage and the wildlife rehab center). Highly recommend! "
