We just spent an great weekend in Nedile Lodge. Staff, location, rooms, food, everything is 5* plus! Our friend celebrated her 50th birthday that weekend and we could not have found a better place to do so. The staff, Anica, Michael & all the others, made this a very special and valuable memory. Welgevonden Game Reserve is a beautiful area... More

I've been to some game lodges in my time, and although I have very fond memories of a lot of them (and some not so), I have yet to find a place that beats Nedile. The African bush is beautiful wherever you go, so really its the staff, the ranger and ambience of the lodge which will make or break... More

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Nedile. Michael and his wife (whose name is, I'm sorry to admit, beyond me) are excellent hosts. The game drives were always interesting thanks to Michael's wealth of knowledge; and the hotel itself is superbly run by his wife and her excellent staff. Add to this the physical location and design... More

The lodge is great. The staff was working just for a few months and in our opinion a little bit unexperienced and young. Our ranger was very affraid of elephants. And one evening drive we were attacked by a group of 20 elephants; our ranger did not know what to do. We were more affraid because of him than because... More

At Nedile we only employ experienced guides. The guide on duty during your visit is 23 years old with more than 4 years guiding experience in Big 5 game reserves. He is a qualified trails guide that means that he is qualified to operate on foot between dangerous animals, including elephant and the Big 5. As part of this training... More

We had a wonderful time at Nedile from the moment of pickup at the airport until our return to Johannesburg. The staff went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. More warmhearted hospitality than professional perfection. And the little bedtime surprises were something else - especially on Valentine's day. The food was very good and authentic,... More

Nedile means (I think) gentle breeze and you certainly feel the peace of a special place. As you walk into the lodge you immediately feel the warmth of the welcome from the staff but also from the very tasteful decoration and furnishing of the large sitting room. Then you turn to the left and you are captured by the fabulous... More

NEDILE left us with special memories after only two days of sheer enjoyment! South African bush veldt and big five at its best. Luxurious treatment and excellent hospitality experience. But what we cherished most – all of that personal private space and care free feeling of relaxation that we needed! PLUS ... now we have a few great new friends... More

Nedile is the perfect getaway. There is so much - or nothing - to do; the choice is yours. The game drives are excellent with a very knowledgeable guide (Vic) and you see many animals and learn all about the environment. You are pampered with excellent food, comfortable rooms, and stunning views. I would recommend Nedile and hope to visit... More
