Maninghi Lodge, hotel in Balule Game Reserve

Located on the banks of the Olifants River within the Balule Game Reserve, Maninghi Lodge offers accommodations 30 mi from Hoedspruit.

What a paradise! We loved every minute at Maninghi Lodge. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like kings and queens by Paul, Victoria, and the wonderful staff. We felt our stress just melted away. It is truly a beautiful setting. The river, the breeze, the animals .... everything is magical. We saw lots of animals right in front of the lodge - hippos, monkeys, waterboks, warhogs, elephants.... The game drives are also amazing. Paul is an extremely experienced safari guide. We particularly loved the sundown drinks with all the animals roaming around us. The food was so delicious. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was prepared with care. We loved the traditional potjie dinner and the wonderful open fire BBQ. Paul and Victoria went out of their way to make sure that our every needs were satisfied.

Greenfire Game Lodge, hotel in Balule Game Reserve

Surrounded by nature and wildlife, Greenfire Game Lodge is located inside the Balule Game Reserve. It offers a viewing deck, dining room and outdoor pool.

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.

Chacma Bush Camp, hotel in Balule Game Reserve

Chacma Bush Camp is set within the Maseke Balule Game Reserve, an 8000-hectare private game that shares open borders with the Kruger National Park.

Overall, Chacma was really lovely. Great hospitality and lovely location. Stunning to have animals walk right past the lodge while you eat or lounge by the pool. Love the fact that it is small and intimate – allows for a personalized experience.

    Amazing game drives given by Paul from Maninghi Lodge.

    Amazing game drives given by Paul from Maninghi Lodge. He is the most knowledgable guide we have ever had. His passion and love for the bush is infectious! We thoroughly enjoyed our drives with him, and he was a large part of what made our stay so great!

    The Reserve is very big, with a nice selection of game lodges to stay around. Lots of routes for game drives and have the big 5 around. Recommend this place if you’re looking for a Safari experience without giving up on comfort, making the most of your time around.

    Very pro-active in animal conservation, bringing down fences for free movement of animals. Balule has no fences with Kruger national park so animals freely roam the entire area. Great big herds of Elephants!

    After Balule we went to the South of Kruger.

    After Balule we went to the South of Kruger. These are two completely different experiences. Of course there will be more game at Kruger, but the reserve experience is unique. Mixing these two was a great idea.
