Nedile Lodge

World class professional staff with casual elegance throughout. I’ve visited this lodge for the last ten years multiple times and they always have exceeded my high expectations. The rangers (guides) are exceptional at finding wildlife and educating you about the various species. The chef is truly amazing and serves five star dinners every night. The remaining staff are happy all the time and make your visit truly enjoyable and memorable. Most highly recommended!

There really are no words to describe this place! Michelle, Aubrey and the team are truly fantastic and we were so sad to leave! What a wonderful, wonderful few days we had as a family of six at Nedile. We would go back in a heartbeat and if you have the opportunity to go, you’re in for a treat! Well done Nedile and we will be back! Sara, James, Joe, David, Esme and Holly x

Nedile is exceptional in every way. The rooms are large with a bathroom overlooking the reserve and even an outdoor shower if you’re brave enough. Each night when we returned from dinner we had a filet in our room and a hot water bottle in our bed. The food was excellent. The game drives were incredible and we saw the “big five” on our first day. We even had elephants visit our pool for a drink. Our guide, Aubrey was funny, knowledgeable and engaging. We would highly recommend it to anyone, and would love to return.

Absolutely sublime from the team to the food. The lodge location had stunning views where the silence of the veld was serene. The chef makes absolutely divine food with a true African touch to the food. The lodge manager and host made everyone feel welcome adding warm safari experience where in each drive with a very knowledgeable guide from tracking to magical tales of all animals. I strongly recommend to anyone wanting a serenely wonderful moment to get away from the bussle of life to come to Nedile Lodge.

This trip in may was my third stay at Nedile and I hope to get back in the future. The accommodations are wonderful and staff very accomodating. Kate and Hanro have been there all three times, the last two as managers and they make everyone feel welcome. The Rangers are some of the best in South Africa. They find the animals in the bush and get us as photographers in wonderful postions for our photographs while keeping us safe. They are very knowledgeable on the wildlife and there habits as well as Welgovonden Game reserve. My last two trips have been on my birthday and the staff have mede both days special. I have told people the the staff has helped make Welgovonden Game Reserve and Nedile Lodge my "Happy Place". I would recommend it to all!

Our experience at Nedile Lodge was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. The lodge is located in a breathtaking setting with panoramic views over the Welgevonden Game Reserve – a place where tranquility, nature, and luxury come together perfectly. The safaris were spectacular! We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, with the highlight being a close encounter with a leopard and a pride of lionesses just meters away. Our ranger was fantastic – knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply respectful of the wildlife. The accommodation is stylish and comfortable, with spacious rooms that offer beautiful views of the bush. Waking up to the sounds of the African wilderness is a truly unique experience. The food was delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Their hospitality made our stay even more special – we even received a warm farewell upon departure. Nedile Lodge is a hidden gem where you can completely unwind and experience the best of African nature. We would highly recommend it to anyone and hope to return someday! Fred & Marjolein
