Everything. The place was just out of this world

Superb location in the middle of the bush, with great views over a valley, fantastic large and spotless chalets, ability to walk around looking for wildlife, exceptional food. Dark skies, lovely sunsets. But the best are the staff - nicole and sonja are wonderful.

Beautiful location on a river with hippos and views of a large number of animals on other side of river.

Everything! Awesome lodge with gorgeous accomodations, excellent meals, super kind and attentive staff, exciting game. We would love to come back some day!

We had an amazing visit. The tent was luxurious. Total.silence at night and the camp fire was massive. Completely felt alone in the South African Bush. You can walk for hours around the property. Henrick was a great host.

This is a beautifully kept property, accommodation is clean and roomy. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful, we had dinner and it was lovely. We were a large group and everyone had a great time.

Luxury, confortable beds and stunning decor, friendly staff, excellent food.

Set in a valley overlooking a stream which will become a river after more rainfall. The rooms are beautifully appointed and provide a vast vista of the area. You cannot fault the attention to detail with the design, bedding and facilities in the room. The fresh water in the fridge is constantly topped up and the room turned down in the evening like magic! Nets on the bed and A/C in the room. Elephants visited the valley and drank from the pool and stream on 2 of the 4 days we were there!! Moyo, our guide was not only very knowledgeable but also great fun. The dining was 5* and bar prices very reasonable.

Simply outstanding!!! we stayed at laluka for our honeymoon and it was just perfect, don‘t know where to start….the food: excellent! the crew: thanks to cathrine, david and geoffrey, who took care about us on our stay, we have never had such a lovely experience in any hotel before. they just were amazing! it is like a small family, already on the first day dou feel like being at home! and thanks to ricardo, our safari guide, who found the big 5 for us and many more and we had so much fun with him, we really enjoyed the safari rides with him. and the owner didier was also very caring and lovely. the villas: outstanding!!! we will definitely come back!

Our time at Ndlovu was a magical experience that we will never forget. It was the team that made our trip truly special. April, our guide, was kind, thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable - we are so grateful to him for all his efforts to give us the best possible experience. We saw everything we could have hoped for (elephants, lions, rhinos, hippos, etc), including a cheetah kill just metres away. This was a very rare and fantastic sight, and April made sure we were among the first in Welgevonden to see it. Peter’s food was outstanding - every single meal was beautiful, creative and delicious, even for the fussiest member of our party with limited dietary requirements. Our eland was cooked to perfection - we have never eaten so much because it was just so tasty. Zack (“Fish”) was always so friendly and helpful to us. He is a real asset to the Ndlovu team. Sanete is a warm and wonderful host who made us feel cared for and completely at home. She gave Emily a huge hug when she cried as we were leaving. The lodge itself is beautiful, with a real sense of comfort, style and African luxury. It is small but perfect, and everything from the landscaping to the bathrooms is exquisitely and thoughtfully designed. The rooms were peaceful, private and generously equipped, but less than a minute's walk from the other facilities. Each lodge has its own private pool and decked area, and there is also a lovely shared pool, deck and relaxation spaces for drinks, snacks and games. It is strange to think that a few days in an unfamiliar place could be a life-changing experience for two rather introverted people, but our stay at Ndlovu opened our eyes to the beauty of the world and the joy of meeting new people. We came home feeling adventurous, peaceful and happy. We made some wonderful friends, left with some treasured memories and keepsakes, and are planning to come back in January (it can't come soon enough). We’re missing Ndlovu and think of it every day.
