A once in a lifetime experience. Me and my son stayed in one of two chalets which will sleep a family of four and it was exquisite. There is a separate kitchen with fridge and hob and everything you need for self catering. DO NOT FORGET TO BRING ALL YOUR FOOD AND DRINK as none is provided and you are half an hour drive t o nearest shops. There is a wonderful braii/barbecue area with seating a fire pit with wood and charcoal provided. The sunset drive was brilliant as was the walk with the elephants all in all absolutely fantastic

You can’t miss this experience. I just want to say thanks to Andrew and all the crew in the reserve because this day is going to be unforgettable for me and my husband. The walk and feed the elephants is an experience that everybody who visit Mosel Bay should do here! being so close to the elephants and seeing how they look very healthy and very well care is a unique moment. Andrew did more that we were expected he went an extra Mille just to provide us with the best experience. We will be back next time That we could visit SouthAfrica. You will regret don’t stop and live the experience if you are around! Don’t hesitate for a moment to stop you will be grateful to meet this wonderful place and family !

The best experience to walk with Bakari and Moketsi the 2 bull elephants in their natural habitat. Guides are friendly and share a lot of knowledge about the elephant on your walk. The host Hanru went out of his way to give us the best experience ever. The farm is absolutely situated in a beautiful place. We will visit Indalu Game reserve again.

Great place to be. I stayed with my family, it was our wedding anniversary. The room is like a cottage with separate cottage for the kitchen and dining. They have gas heaters, it was very cold in the night. The owners are very good hosts, hospitality at the best. My wife went for the elephant walk and feeding. The rangers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Since we were in a road trip, this place was a perfect stop in the itinerary. We saw impalas, giraffes and rhinos very close. Truly a memorable experience.

We’ve just returned home after a stay at Indalu. Our only regret is not staying another night. We arrived to be greeted by the gate by Hunro and we took a short drive to the reception area where Arina gave us the warmest welcome and helped us transfer our belongings into the game drive vehicle and she drove us down to our accommodation. Well…. The drive to the accommodation was spectacular and we saw so much wildlife up close. We had some time to get settled into our accommodation and after a prearranged time Arina picked us up a short time later for our Elephant experience. We got up close and personal with these amazing creatures who had such a gentle nature and a really warm relationship with their handlers. We were then met at the end point by Hunro who took us on our game drive. What an experience with a stop at a beautiful location for some sundowners. We then returned to our cottages for an evening under the stars in front of the fire pit and had a braai. We returned to our lodge for an excellent and comfortable nights sleep. Everything was provided for and the small and tiny noticeable touches were everywhere to be seen. The attention to detail was evident!!! Overall a spectacular experience and an absolute gem of a location and wonderful hosts! Can’t wait to return!!!! ❤️❤️❤️…

We stayed at Indalu for 2 nights in the Chalet - it was absolutely amazing and an experience we will never forget. We got engaged and Mokgetsi the elephant made sure it was a magical moment. The accommodation is perfectly nestled away in the mountains, and we had the whole place to ourselves. Arina really went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Elephant walk was amazing, and also saw lots of other wildlife close up!
