On advice of our SAA agent we selected this exclusive private game reserve directly bordering Kroeger National Park. What a treat! The reserve has only 4 units, one or two for couples, the others for families up to four-five persons (there were two families when we went) Separate viewing areas behind lodge allow you to see elephants and other wild...

South Africa was a new experience that exceeded all expectations. A highlight was our time at Serondella Lodge where I would not have changed anything! The service was professional and of high standards, yet the staff were friendly and fun. The game drives were interesting and different each day. I would not have believed that 3 hours in the jeep...

Never having been on safari before I didn't know what to expect but suffice it to say that the team at Serondella make every moment really special. The game drives were brilliant, tracking down the elusive leopard and eventually being rewarded by an hour right up close to a mum and her cub....and on the way seeing everything else you... More

Let me just start of by saying that the only reason I’m giving Serondella Game Lodge 5 stars is because I can’t give them 6. I have never taken a vacation where the word luxury was included in the description until now. And it was worth the wait. From the moment I was greeted by Neill and Christy on my... More

What a lovely couple who run this gorgeous lodge! We too booked our entire trip through the South African Air vacation agent. Everything about Neil's game drives, Kristi's hospitality, Trust's bar tending, and Godsave's meals and bar-b-que were top notch. Up close to watching four lions eating a fresh catch, 20 elephants thrashing and eating through a wooded area, mother... More

Main lodge is lovely, with a great atmosphere, serving excellent food. Animal citings were also terrific - my wife Carole managed to achieve the Big 5 on her Big... More

Our stay at Serondella was arranged by South African Airways. We could not have been happier! This property is rated at four stars, but our total experience was at least five stars! The accommodations are lovely, large, and perfect for viewing game right out your window at their private watering hole. The food was fabulous, with plenty of choices. The... More

Wow wow wow, this is a beautiful place, we still can't believe all we saw and just how close we got to the animals. We saw The Big Five. You will need a warm fleece for the early morning game drive, they do have blankets for you to borrow. The ability that Neil and our guide had to spot the... More

Having lived in South Africa previously, I have been to see game many times. This was, however, my first time at a private reserve in SA--we really wanted to treat ourselves and this was my partner's first trip to SA. We arrived in an absolute monsoon, but as a good omen, we saw a cheetah and buffalo just on the... More
