Nedile Lodge

Nedile Lodge is situated in the Malaria-free Welgevonden Game Reserve, just 3 hours north of Pretoria. The Welgevonden Reserve, a declared Heritage Site spanning 33,000 hectares, borders the Marekele National Park. It is located in the breathtaking Waterberg Biosphere, a true bushveld environment that is home to some of Africa's most sought-after game species, such as elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, elands, sables, and many other varieties of antelope. Visitors may even catch a glimpse of the aardvark, brown hyena, or the rarely seen honey badger.

Nedile Lodge features five exclusive suites carefully positioned between rocky outcrops on a north-facing slope, offering breath-taking views of the Waterberg mountains. Two of the suites can be used as family units with an inter-leading entrance hall. Each room has an en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers. The main building has a central African theme and consists of a lounge/bar and dining area, all leading out onto seligna decks that emphasize the natural environment. A rock boma provides an outside dining area where guests can enjoy a traditional campfire and true South African hospitality. The lodge also includes a swimming pool designed to complement the bushveld setting.

Nedile Lodge offers game viewing activities, including game drives and bush walks, under the supervision of an experienced game ranger, providing unique learning experiences about the wonders of nature. The lodge is a winner of the 2007 AA Travel Guides American Express Accommodation Awards. Every meal is an occasion at Nedile, with carefully planned menus served in the elegant dining area or in the starlit, outside boma. Road and air transfers can be arranged upon request.

Nedile Lodge accommodates up to 10 guests in five exclusive and luxury rooms. Each room has a dramatic view over the bush and mountains, a private deck, fireplace, and an in- and outdoor shower and bathroom. The lodge is a 5-Star rated Game Lodge by the Tourism Grading Committee of South Africa. It has received accolades from the American Express Accommodation Awards/AA Travel Guides, including Best Game Lodge in 2007, highly commended in 2008 and 2010, and winner in 2009.
