Very beautiful and nice lodge! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms look really nice. Game drives in the morning and evening with a good driver and tracker. Saw a lot of beautiful things! Nice concept to eat together with fellow travelers after every game drive. The Bush walk we did was also super fun and educational. In short, this lodge is highly recommended!Bart & Maaike

Enchanting experiences and memories from Ku Sungula.Myself, my children, my grandchildren and my in-laws had an experience of a lifetime that was far beyond our wildest expectations. A superbly decorated Safari Lodge in Balule Nature Reserve, nice catering and some very nice, willing and competent staff made the stay unforgettable. We felt very welcome and were carried on our hands and feet from the time we got up for the first safari at 05:30 AM and until we went to bed in some very welcoming cabins. Thank you, all staff for your way of being. Greetings and Love from the Veje family.

We started our trip well at the Ku Sungula lodge. A beautiful location in a beautiful reserve, which immediately brought us into the African atmosphere. We enjoyed the friendly staff, the game drives and the super tasty food served here. This lodge is highly recommended!

Our dream has become reality. With our family, 15 people, to South Africa. Ku Sungula....what a TOP location. A special welcome by wonderfully sweet, friendly and helpful staff. Nothing is too much for them. The delicious meals, the special drives, the swimming pool, the personal attention. Highly recommended. It is unimaginably beautiful and impressive to see the elephants so close, for example; while you are standing under the outdoor shower, during a meal or while enjoying a drink on the beautiful terrace. A holiday you will never forget.

We were so wonderfully spoiled at this beautiful lodge! It was the icing on the cake of our 23 day road trip through South Africa. Wonderful to stay the last days.The rondavels are clean, spacious and fully equipped. The food is also great and the staff is great!! We went on a game drive six times, which was also fully catered for with a snack and drink! One word: Fantastic!!!

I usually never write reviews but our safari experience was so awesome that I decided to share it.We stayed at Ku Sangula Safari Lodge and we are extremely happy with our choice. To be honest I can't imagine what could be better. We choosed a 5-day safari. On the first day within 3 hours we saw the Big five and more! It's an indescribable feeling🐆Camp staff are INCREDIBLY friendly and do everything to make visitors feel comfortable. Delicious food, clean accommodation, safety and a lot of fun!Guides are professionals and know where and when to find animals. They can answer any questions and tell interesting facts about animals.Thank you so much for a chance being part of your family!❤️‍🔥

We've just stayed three nights at Ku Sungula... It was the most amazing experience! From the moment we arrived till we (sadly) had to move on we had a perfect time. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The lodge (we had the "Buffalo") was just a short safe walk from the main building, it was cozy but clean and had everything. We could spot all kinds of animals from our terrace, and had daily visits from elephants just a few meters away behind the fence. The food was always good, fresh and more than enough. Any diet or wishes for the next meal were written down and taken care of. The morning and evening game drives were very professional arranged with a team of knowledgeable guides. They kept in close contact with the guides from the other lodges in the area via the radio and worked together to find all the amazing animals. Morning drives have a coffee/tea stop, in the evening they stop for sundown with a beer, wine or softdrink and some snacks. Not cheap, but well worth it!

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Ku Sungula. Very hospitable host (Wisdom) for whom nothing asked was too much. Very well organized lodge, with excellent food and catering. Staying in the lodge between the naughty elephants and lions is very special and they game drives brought us the big 5, topped with Hyena, zebra, giraffes and lion cubs. Your trip to SA is not complete without staying at this authentic game lodge. Pedro and Yolanda, you can be proud on your African dream.Best,Baak Family

What a great lodge. We were able to stay here for 3 nights last summer with our children aged 10 and 11 years old. It was a great ending to a great South Africa experience. Our rondavel was nice, clean, spacious and the beds are wonderful. The lodge is located in the middle of the game reserve with many beautiful animals, including the big 5. It is therefore not recommended to walk outside on your own, but with the great guides it is a great experience. Nice jeep safaris with very hospitable and knowledgeable guides and relaxing at the lodge where you will be pampered by all the lovely hospitable staff, what more could you want! The food was also an experience every day and super tasty. Highly recommended for young and old!
In the middle of the busch, beautiful location. Easy to drive with your own (rental) car. Hence a great base for the safari. The food is great. Service exceptionally good. The elephants just walk along the terrace. Wow!!

Dear Yolanda,This is just to say a big thank you to ALL your wonderful staff for their hospitality and service.From the moment we arrived the friendship and willingness to please was exceptional, the lodge itself and our Bungalows were extremely neat and comfortable.Game drives with John and Sibusisu whom we called "DJ BOO" or "Hawkeye" were great fun and we looked forward to the excellent meals prepared by Chef Lee.Wisdom, Moses and Trinity were just as amazing, in fact all your staff were.So once again thank you to you and all your staff and may your lodge be graced with many a visitor.Kind regards,Caitlin, Damien, Reilly, Riette and Des.

A one of a kind experience in hospitality, wild life and atmosphere.I can advise you to go and see for yourself. I did, six times already and I cannot wait to visit the Ku Sungula Lodge and the nearby surroundings again. A big 5 game area and very close to the Kruger National Parc too. A perfect 4* base for trips to the Blyde River and Canyon for example,Do not wait! Go!Maarten

Our time at KuSungula Lodge was unforgettable in all the right ways. From the warm and friendly greeting from Wisdom and Moses, the beautiful accommodations within Greater Kruger, the delicious food (including tasty vegetarian fare as we do not eat meat), the morning and late afternoon game drives with Solly (so informative about the animals and environment) and "Bush Baby" (with his good eyesight to spot all kinds of wildlife), the smiles and friendliness from Annoint and others (who make the lodge clean and lovely), and of course, the beauty of the area and the animals we had the privilege of viewing, we will remember KuSungula for a lifetime.

Exceptional in every way, we were treated like VIPs, nothing was too much for the staff. We stayed at the lodge for 4 nights, and went on two safari drives per day, our Rangers John and Universe were fantastic, we got to see all of the big 5. Totally recommend Ku Sungula safari lodge.
