Lodges in Balule Game Reserve

Morgan Canada

You are going to the best in the business if you book at Isambane. The staff is super helpful, kind, fun, and always go above and beyond. Highly recommend this lodge if you search something more intimate. Food is amazing, the game drives are fun and rich, and everything is made for you to feel the best.

The meals were well prepared and sometimes elegant. The accommodations were comfortable. We enjoyed the views during the day, the waterhole, and the night sky. But we did not come for those things. We came for the safari drives. We chose this place because we saw the recommendations for Hendrick, the guide, and we noticed that the morning drives start at 5:30 whereas other places start much later, too late for best views of wildlife. We were not disappointed. On our drive from the airport in Hoedspruit, we saw buffalo, warthog, and lions chasing some impala. That evening we saw lions, zebra, elephants. The next morning, a leopard in a tree. That evening, more buffalo, and elegant giraffes. On the last day, we saw male lions and rhinoceros. Hendrick was an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide, and he and Victor worked together. On the last morning, we went to the Oliphants river and saw hippos, baboons, elephants, and crocodiles. It was an amazing experience. I continue to watch the live feed from Dean's Dam every day.

It’s in an intimate surrounding with few bungalows, run with immense care for details to make it a perfect stay for guests. Meals are incredible- healthy and delicious. The pinnacle: the game drives in the reserve expose the animals in a breathtaking manner with knowledgeable explanations from the guide. In between the drives, herds of elephants, monkeys and deer roam around the river just in front. An opportunity of a life time to stay here!

The best time of our life! I was visiting with my son at Greenfire Game Lodge and enjoyed every minute. The view is breathtaking from every corner of the lodge and to all directions. The lounge area is beautifully designed open space offering tea, coffee and Oma’s Rask 24/7. We had a beautiful room and got lucky to watch a herd of elephants crossing from our balcony. The staff is beyond magnificent and made us feel home away from home. I would like to recommend this unique lodge and will definitely come back again.
