The game drives were fantastic, the staff were brilliant and the accommodation beautiful. My family of 4, two adults and two daughters 10/12 stayed for an amazing 5 nights. What an experience, we saw 4 of the big 5 (leopards were hiding) and much more, in particular, my favourites, the African Wild Dogs. Big thanks to guide Daniel who inherited us for the week. The kids were captivated from start to finish by your enthusiasm and story telling! A real credit to the team! All the staff were very welcoming and really made this a magical trip. We will be back!

Incredible stay at Naledi! We were speechless at the views, hospitality and food. We spent 4 days and 3 nights and wished we’d stayed more. Everything about this place is 5 ⭐️. The game drives were incredible with Erick and Kel. They went to every effort to show us the best and guide us along the way. The service and views in the lodge were unbelievable. We will 100% return but for longer. We can’t thank everyone at Naledi enough!

Carol and Nigel have a stunning game lodge. We had an incredible time over four nights. They have included a number of little touches that elevate your stay and experience and have created a lodge of quiet luxury, that is embedded within the bush. You can see animals from your balcony! Our guide, Given, was phenomenal. He has an incredible knowledge of animals and birds and is such a fun guide. He has so much to teach and was amazing at finding and tracking animals. We saw the Big Five, but importantly, saw so much more beyond that. The lodge staff really value conserving the nature and animals around, and truly respect the animals. It was truly an unforgettable experience in the bush. The front of house staff, Crescent, Glorify and Veronica were incredible. They were so kind, thoughtful and personable. They made us feel so welcome and at home. The food was also amazing - we were blown away by the variety and quality of the food. An unforgettable five days and an experience of a lifetime.

Really everything: the setting, set-up of the lodge (small, well-maintained gardens), personnel in the lodge and on Game Drives. Comfortable in all aspects. Relatively east access from the gate.

We had an incredible stay at the lodge. The staff was so friendly and made sure our stay would be unforgettable. Besides that, Sara made sure our traveling went as smoothly as possible so that was really nice. Also, the game drives were beautiful, we would recommend the morning drives but also a visit to Kruger is definitely worth it. Also, the view from the lodge itself was already unbelievable, we saw elephants, hippo's, giraffes, impalas, and monkeys. The food was also really good, and the atmosphere was at dinner was magical. In overall we had an amazing experience here! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Prior to our 2 nights here, we were at a riverside safari lodge which was also a bit more upmarket. Muweti was a different experience ; higher and drier country, real bush camp feel, although certainly not roughing it! All inclusive of 2 daily game drives and 3 generous meals. Hardus & Neil remained very focused, responsible and engaged during all the game drives, not just in finding game but also in passing on their knowledge, and were also very attentive at meal times. Excellent Land Rover safari vehicle, with roll bars and canvas weather shading. Pool and deck area, continuous with semi open eating area and boma - was a very pleasant space to spend time in. This outdoor living area looked absolutely lovely at night, lit up by solar & kero glass lamps etc. Very comfortable tents with huge bed, best mosquito net we've ever used, and featuring a lot of local character. Not super luxe, if that's what you are looking for, but pitched at (our idea of) an appropriate level for a bush safari camp feeling.

Boasting river views, Rio Dos Elefantes River Camp features accommodation with patio, around 36 km from Olifants West Game Reserve.
