A trip to South Africa has been on my bucket list for years and I put so much research into where to stay. I am so happy it led me to Naledi because our stay was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived we felt at home and so taken care of the wonderful team. We stayed in the Rockfig suite which was absolutely stunning with a lovely deck and plunge pool. The views throughout the lodge are gorgeous and you can easily see elephants walking by and monkeys in the trees! Our guides Opa and Excellent were truly amazing! We saw the Big 5 as well as hippos, crocodiles, wild dogs, and more. They shared their expertise about tracking, footprints, and the animals. Doing game drives and enjoying coffee in the morning and sundowners with them in the evening was wonderful. One day we went to the watering hole and stayed for a few hours. We saw so many elephants come by for a drink, it was something we will truly never forget! The food was phenomenal! Biscuits/rusks and coffee before the game drive, more biscuits and coffee during the game drive, a full breakfast upon return, a multi course lunch, and a delicious dinner! The chef was so kind and always sharing the menu for each day and asking for preferences. They even would switch our locations around the lodge for lunch and dinner, providing new atmospheres each time. On our last night, they even set up a romantic dinner for us on our deck outside of our room- it was beautiful and such a lovely way to end our trip! The bartender was also fabulous! My husband and I love cocktails, and he was able to whip up martinis, old fashioneds, and other delicious drinks for us! We loved our stay at Naledi, will be recommending it to all our friends, and hopefully will be back ourselves one day!
