    Nothing to complain about. It is, of course not a huge game reserve and some animals are still missing, but the experience is great nevertheless

    Great family-run private game reserve. Arena, Gerhard and Hanro make you really feel welcome. The chalets offer all you need and the extra kitchen house makes it very practical. Also firewood and charcoal are already there. All you need is the food and drinks (water is also there). Elephant walk and game drive are special, Happy to come back when the lions are there.

    The host was very friendly and worked around our uncertain arrival time. The game drive we did with Hanro was lovely and it was inspiring to see the family's dedication to the veldt and game. We booked for an overnight stay and with only two lodges on the site we had the whole place to ourselves. The facilities in the lodges and the separate kitchen were excellent. One has to self-cater and we did a braai. The highlight was spending the evening sitting in front of the fire, under the stars, all quiet and feeling part of nature - a truly unique and magical experience.

    Nothing. All very good.

    The landscape was spectacular, the animals had space to roam and forage. Our hut was very comfortable and private. The kitchen facilities were good, as was the wifi connection. We loved sitting in the Brai area watching the Impalas tip toe to the water hole. Elephant and Safari drive were excellent.

    The views are impeccable. Feels very in touch with nature here. Lovely accommodation, very good size. Saw the giraffes have a drink in the waterhole in the morning. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Big thank you to everyone at Indalu. Was the highlight of our trip to South Africa. I will definitely come back and stay.

    If you want to meet African nature, you must choose Indalu. I have never seen a better lodge. You have your own little cottage and a 100% equipped kitchen with a superb braai area.

    There was nothing we didn't like

    We did the elephant walk and interaction and the the game drive, both of which were fabulous. We then stayed the night and had an awesome experience. There are only 2 lodges, 1 of which was unoccupied so we were the only guests using the facilities and outside areas. Firewood is available so it was wonderful to sit by the fire, look at the stars, fully enjoy the experience and immerse ourselves in the surroundings, with just the sounds of animals and birds. The room is very comfortable and the large kitchen (in a separate building) is fully equipped. We woke in the morning to find 2 giraffes right next to our lodge, which was simply magical. Also, the hosts were very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. I'm so glad that we decided to stay here.

    The bats in the 2nd cottage! As we were overseas visitors, we couldn’t use our data and there was no Wi-Fi which is fine for adults but not teenagers. Although we stayed over new Year’s and would have liked to WhatsApp our friends and family.Maybe provide a jacuzzi as it got very hot there and the river has dried up.

    the property was secluded and well kitted out, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and we appreciated the soaps and other toiletries provided. Solar lights were provided for the outside during the evenings when we used the fire pit and bbq. An extra bonus was waking up to large game animals in the morning and we got to feed sweet birds in the morning. The safari drives were incredible, we saw giraffes, elephants, and other large animals roaming around free and happy in their environment. We did the elephant walk with 2 very educational guides, that was an experience we will never forget, walking next to them, stroking them, feeding them and after having photos taken with them. Overall, a must visit. We highly recommend visiting this little slice of heaven!

    All good, but you have to be aware that the accomondation is in the outback and you will be for yourself most of the time. So bring enough wine& food ;)

    We had a lovely stay at Indalu with a great nature + animal experience. The 2 guest houses are quite deep in the park so its very offside and best to enjoy nature and observe animals without any distractions. Big thanks also to the hosts & staff who were very guestfriendly and made our stay very pleasant. This is your pick, when you like beeing for yourself and in a not overcrowded reserve.
