Cabins in Balule Game Reserve

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.

Stunning property in unforgettable location. Romantic, rustic, warm and welcoming, great attention to detail, fantastic staff who regularly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Food was great! We saw lots of wildlife including the big 5. Exceptional rangers and trackers (big thanks to Solly and Eric). Would return in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

The lodge enjoys a great location on the Olifants river so we spotted a number of antelope, lion, elephant, baboon, hippo, crocodile, just from the chairs on the deck. Keagan the game ranger is a great asset to Emhosheni as his knowledge of the bush is excellent and we learnt a great deal from him. In fact, every member of the general staff (including Keagan) made our stay memorable, they couldn’t do enough and are genuinely pleasant people to be around.

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.
