Gudrun L.
We felt welcome at this cosy little lodge in the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate. The service was excellent, and the team were friendly and supportive when our flight was cancelled. They also gave us great tips for day trips and safaris, plus restaurant recommendations nearby. Breakfast was really tasty. The best surprise was a family of warthogs living beneath the terrace of our spacious, well-equipped bungalow. What an experience! We'll definitely come back.

Marlon and Ann were warm, helpful and hospitable owners. Ann adjusted our game drives when we arrived, based on what we'd originally planned, and that made a real difference to the experience. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and well maintained, and breakfast was very tasty. Staying at Nyaleti was fantastic. If I'm ever back in town, I'd absolutely stay here again. Thanks!

We had the best time here in March. The rooms were perfect, the hosts were super friendly, and the animals roaming around made things exciting. The safaris they arranged were amazing too. A big, big thank you to Moos, who led our bushwalk.

Among the moments we still talk about are the boma fire with a drink and the day's stories, and spotting zebras just feet away on a short drive around the property. The Bush Trail behind the lodge led to a private game reserve, where we came across giraffes within minutes. We also loved breakfast by the pool, especially Marlon’s French toast while warthogs wandered past, and the monkeys and antelopes that seemed to be nearby all the time. Ann and Marlon have made Nyaleti Lodge feel like a welcoming little oasis, with lovely landscaped grounds and contemporary, beautifully decorated lodges. They also arranged optional excursions and day trips, and recommended restaurants and booked tables for us. Their warmth and effort made the stay special. We were on a 17-day trip through three African countries, staying in six places and taking seven flights, with game drives that showed us all kinds of animals. Our three nights at Nyaleti Lodge were one of the trip’s highlights.

Seeing animals wandering right by the back yard was amazing. Nyaleti lodge is beautiful and feels very safe, a place to connect with nature and yourself. The breakfast and rooms were lovely, especially the outdoor showers. 10/10 for everything, and I don't think you'd be disappointed booking here.
