    The only thing that would need adjustment is the gym equipment. But I still had 2 sessions there.

    Such a beautiful lodge and a once in a lifetime experience. The staff was amazing, welcoming, caring and professional. We were so well taken care of, it felt like being over at granny’s. We even got ponchos, raincoats, water bottles, wake up calls. The rooms were always ready - curtains opened in the morning, closed at night, bed ready, a most friendly welcome note. We really just had to lay back. The rangers went above and beyond to find the big 5. We saw 4/5 (we only stayed for 1 safari day, the other guest saw 5/5 with the next morning ride). Really informative and pleasant safari rides, breakfast in the middle of the reserve included. The rooms / villas offered an incredible view with the all glass walls, they were huge and head everything from bathtub to fireplace. Food was amazing. What can I say - just experience it yourselves !!

    The room was relatively far from the reception and up a hill, which was challenging for my older mother. This is just something to warn guest of in case they have difficulties. Otherwise all was wonderful.

    Set in the ridge, the property has a beautiful view. It’s also very remote, so incredibly peaceful. It’s small so you’re not overwhelmed by people and the service was great.

    More of a hotel vibe than an intimate lodge. The location in the park means you have to drive further each day to see the animals which seemed abundant in the south and central areas.

    Set in a valley overlooking a stream which will become a river after more rainfall. The rooms are beautifully appointed and provide a vast vista of the area. You cannot fault the attention to detail with the design, bedding and facilities in the room. The fresh water in the fridge is constantly topped up and the room turned down in the evening like magic! Nets on the bed and A/C in the room. Elephants visited the valley and drank from the pool and stream on 2 of the 4 days we were there!! Moyo, our guide was not only very knowledgeable but also great fun. The dining was 5* and bar prices very reasonable.

    It is very hard to point out anything negative about Sediba as a whole, but to be very critical, the Spa could be upgraded to create better tranquil ambiance, real Spa music and upskilling on massage techniques. Also, a few additional food options for Lunch and Dinner would be an amazing value improvement.

    The luxurious rooms, hospitality, friendlyness of staff and the Game drives with our guide, Moyo, who went out of his way to make every outing as special as possible! With our 25th Anniversary, they treated us like royalty which was so amazingly special! Thank you Sediba team ❤️❤️!!

    Just returned from this amazing experience at Sediba. The rooms are fabulous and spacious and everything you need for a wonderful stay. We loved the outside hot tub after a morning safari, with the incredible view of the park. Your room is serviced daily which is really nice. Especially loved Boma night! Our Ranger, Moyo, we will never forget! Thank you for your wonderful knowledge and sharing everything you love about all the animals and about the park. Loved it here!

    Not that i didnt like it, just for people to be aware it is quite a drive from the entrance of the arrival gate to the actual lodge, it takes another 30 min to get there but once there it is a dream, it does also give you an opportunity to spot animals on the way (mini game drive). Not sure if it was the time of year but the wildlife were pretty limited to see compared to other game reserves (not the lodges fault). The gym has no aircon or fans which can be rather hot at the peak of summer.

    Just an all round fantastic stay. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and they participated in making it a bit special for the day. The room we stayed in was amazing and well postioned to get the elephant and zebra passing by while chilling in the jacuzzi on the patio deck. The food was delicious, with the Satdurday night boma dinner being a great highlight while having the curious nocturnal animals pass by. What did make it that much more special is the wonderful hospitality of all the staff at the lodge!

    Food was average, at best You couldn't control the hot tub - it would turn on and off periodically on its own Primary reason for booking was the hot tub Lounge chair at pool collapsed while sitting on it, upon investigation all chairs had disintegrated wood and were on the brink of breaking

    We had a superb stay at Sediba Lodge in Welgevonden Game Reserve. Nadia and her team were so welcoming, the food was good, and our rooms were spectacular. But of course, you go there for the animals, and our guide Xolani was absolutely brilliant, very knowledgeable, with a real passion for his job, and so skilled at tracking and spotting the game. Thank you Q! A really special trip.
