    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.

    Probably the best place I've ever been. The attention to detail, the customer first approach and the respect of nature has been astonishing. Best safari experience of my life. Pondoro Game Lodge will always have a special place in my heart!

    An incredible lodge! Very remote and a vehicle with ground clearance is highly recommended. But you are rewarded with a breathtaking view from the terrace. While you cool your feet in the pool, you have the best view of nature. We saw several elephants and giraffes passing right by the fence. The next day there was a live hunt by two lions for impallas. We would never have dared to dream of it. Besides the gamedrives, bushwalks and safaris in the Kruger, you should definitely plan a day on the terrace. It's definitely worth it.

    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!
