Elke and Evert were amazing and very hospitable. Elke went the extra mile to make our stay memorable. Jaap is very knowledgeable and professional in his work guiding us through the Safari outings. just like an Eagle Scout. The meals cooked by Tumello were great and he pays attention to the details. House keeping was very good. We definitely recommend this place.

My stay at Baluleni Safari Lodge was one of the best things I did during my "Tour of South Africa" trip! I just happened to stumble upon their lodge when doing some research for my trip, and I am so glad I did! Evert and Elke were both so kind and accommodating, and they went above and beyond to work with me and my extremely tight travel schedule. I stayed in a chalet, and it was perfect and included many thoughtful touches like a stocked refrigerator and complimentary tea, coffee, and cookies. The guides were great for the game rides, and I felt like I really got to know everyone with our family-style meals prepared by a great chef. I highly recommend staying at Baluleni - I will certainly be staying again on my next trip to South Africa!

Baluleni was amazing! The owners Evert and Elke were wonderful and the stay was so personal. Our "tent" was so comfortable and large, with plenty of space, a bathroom with tub, plugs, a beautiful veranda, etc. It was a perfect start to our honeymoon and they gave us a bottle of champagne! Plus the food was amazing and we loved eating with all of the other guests. Highly recommended
