It was a great experience staying at Greenfoire lodge! We had the most amazing time at the safari as well as the stay. Given was an amazing guide and made us have maximum best experience at our safaris! And we did see the BIG 5s through his help :). Caroline and all other staffs very really sweet, helpful and accommodating. A huge shoutout to the chef who put in so much effort into our meals and each one of them was a treat to remember. Being vegans we had the most versatile food everyday! Over all the best 3 days!

What a great stay! We were really satisfied by our stay. Absolutely highlights were the amazing location and the super friendly staff. The Lodge is located next to the river, which gives the opportunity to see a lot of animals. We saw for example some; crocodiles, hippos, babboons and elephants next to the river. Regarding the staff: super friendly, good organized and you feel directly welcome! Not unimportant, the lodge is clean and all needed facilities are there! We would definitely recommend to go here and will go back when we are in the surrounding.

I had a really beautiful stay at the lodge. As a solo traveller, Milima did an excellent job to make sure I had everything I needed and could access all opportunities. Thomas, one of the rangers, was incredible. He's super knowledgable and just a delightful human. I hope to return again!

We were the only guests, and were given a free upgrade to the chalet with private pool. The host and gardener were also very kind and helpful. We greatly enjoyed spotting smaller wildlife from the hide out during the sunset and sunrise, and the peace and quiet of the stay. During the night we were visited by a honey badger twice that tried to get into the cupboards and fridge, some excitement for sure!

Spent 5 nights at this fabulous lodge. We did a number of full day or half day activities which the proprietor helped to arrange for us and every detail was worked out, ensuring all we had to do was relax and be wowed. Returning to the luxury of the lodge and cooling off in the pool and the stunning grounds was a perfect way to finish off those days. We supplemented the chilling out process with drinks from the expertly curated selection of fine South African wines or beers, spirits and soft drinks. The interior of the lodge and the private suite could only be described as luxurious opulence furnished with many beautiful African artefacts. And as if all of that is not enough we enjoyed ample beautifully prepared and presented breakfasts. We were also privileged to play host to families of nyalas and warthogs who visited the area just outside our bedroom window and patio doors to feast on fallen amarula fruits. Wow wow wow !!!

I travel a lot. To say that Naledi Lodges exceeded m expectations would be an understatement. Everything there - checking us in, getting our bags to our rooms, the staff greeting us every time we returned from a Safari, the food and drink, our guides, etc., - everything was well thought out and first class!

The lodge is really comfortable but the best part is the people who work there. The staff is really kind and they managed to give us the best experience, the food was great. It was our first Safari in a game reserve and we saw the big 5 and so much more. The guides are awesome, Sydwell and Vuyani! Thank you

Beautiful setting, overlooking the Olifants River, very peaceful. Excellent game drives, good meals, and incredibly friendly, cheerful staff. Of the 3 lodges we stayed at in Greater Kruger, this was our favorite. A small-scale operation, efficiently run. Wonderful overall feeling.

beautiful property and well maintained. Staff was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. We stayed at another lodge called Jabulani Safari which was far inferior to Pondoro. Stay at Pondoro, avoid Jabulani!
