The Staff is amazing, they do what they can to make this the perfect holiday for you. We had the apartment with a private pool viewing towards the park, it was huge, well equipped and very clean. The day starts at 5 AM with waking up, first Game drive roughly from 5:30 til 8:30, breakfast at 9:00. Then you can have a bush walk or go to a hide&view place or just relax. At 14:30 lunch is served. 16:30 the evening game drive starts and you are back for dinner at 21:00. (This was in March, schedule changes based on sunrise/set) The food was excellent and plenty to eat. The game drives were the absolute highlight, we saw the big 5 and many more animals in just two days. The price is definitely great for what you are getting and also fair compared to other Lodges. We 100% staying at Naledi!

Chacma is the perfect place from which to explore the big 5 and the broader SA safari experience. The setting is natural and beautiful with meals eaten outside to make the most of the waterhole and potential for wildlife spotting. Between safari rides comfortable rooms, shady spots across the camp and the pool provide the perfect setting for reading and relaxation. With just three rooms at Chacma, you’re guaranteed a much more intimate experience than staying at a bigger location. As a solo traveller the real highlight was the friendly and fun team behind Chacma: Matt, Josh and Charlie are fantastic, passionate guides who guaranteed that each trip out provided memorable, safe experiences while Karen, Lynx and the wider team at Chacma ensured a comfortable stay. You’ll learn so much from this team and they are only too happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. A special place I can’t wait to return to.

The location in the middle of the bush. We had the villa which was very clean. The staff were great. The food was amazing, I requested vegetarian which was really good. The waterhole were animals come to drink. We saw all the Big 5 (we did 6 game drives). It felt like a home away from home. Will recommend it to everyone.

Haardus was an excellent host! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the bush. He was also extremely informative. The property was superb and surpassed our expectations! I would love to return in the future! The kitchen was fully stocked and the property was very clean. No bugs or insects in early July either.

Everything exceeded my expectations, The reserve was phenomenal, the lodge and staff were great especially Leanne our game ranger. She made sure she found us the big five and much more in 2 days. The best lodge and reserve I've ever been to, we absolutely loved every minute of it.
