We got lucky as the reserve was not crowded and the guides both funny and competent

Amazing lion sightings (very cloes to the car!), we saw pride of lions a couple of times. Lots of rhinos (we saw 6 of them in one day!!), in general great safari destination,
Disappointing
Very dry landscape, very little wildlife. Some lions, leopards and wild dogs. Almost no herbivores. I do not recommend reserving at the end of the dry season for this reason.

So peaceful and serene. We saw plenty of animals in a short space of time. Really excited to be there.

We managed to see the big 5 and much more. Our guide Viktor was the best!

Balule Reserve offers a personal safari experience. The guides are knowledgeable and go out of their way to make your experience memorable whilst protecting the environment and the wildlife within the reserve.

I get to experience a "real" safari. You can not replicate that.

We didn’t get to see many animals, especially lions, leopards and rhinos. Probably we were not lucky.

Your own private Kruger Park!
We stayed for 3 nights and did one gamedrive. The setting of Amukela lodge is very nice, and good value for money. Meals were good, atmosphere relaxed and personal. The waterholes were visited by impala, jackal, vervet monkeys, civet, elephants (2 big ones) and in the evening we heard the lions! Owner/managed with friendly and helpful staff.
