Serondella Safari Lodge

Serondella exceeded all expectations! The Botsotso suite was impeccable - it was spacious for our family of 5. The beds were extremely comfortable and every little necessity they have thought of. Laundry done daily, turndown service and the food offering was great.kids could sometimes on the heated pools the deck s were relaxing while looking over the watering hole. So accommodating for children. The staff from every aspect were helpful. The game viewing was amazing we got to see all of the Big5 and more. The gin stops were superb and bush breakfast topped the charts. Serondella filled our African bush hearts to the max.

My daughter and I just returned from Africa where we stayed at the Serondella Safari Lodge in the Thornybush Game Reserve. It’s hard to put into words how exceptional our experience was. We have been blessed to stay in many fabulous hotels but nothing compares to the personalized service, excellent food, and attentive and friendly staff at Serondella. This is a Five Star place. ( I think it only serves a maximum of 14 guests at a time) The safaris were other worldly ( we saw the big 5 within the first 24 hours), the guide and tracker were knowledgeable and fun. Each morning we were met with hot chocolate (or coffee) and a hot water bottle to keep us warm on the early morning drive. Upon our return we would be greeted with warm towels and, in the evening, a shot of some very tasty beverage. Each day from our room (or our private plunge pool) we could watch giraffes, elephants and rhinos come to the lodge’s watering hole! I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Unbelievable, magical and unforgettable!! If you are thinking about Africa, put Serondella at the top of your list.

Wow. Just wow! Serondella is like heaven on earth. A truly fabulous lodge with amazing staff. Greeted with a large smile, a drink & a warm towel from the minute you arrive you feel very special. We stayed in the family suite which was like a huge house! Your every need is catered for at the lodge and they also throw in a few wonderful surprises along the way. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is awesome and there's a fully stocked bar everywhere you turn! Anold looked after us so well. The safari experience was absolutely incredible. Our guide Liam & tracker were absolutelly brilliant. We saw absolutely everything. I think we saw the big 5 in the first hour! Watching the animals come to the watering hole at the lodge is such a special experience. Our children (13 & 14) spent hours watching and taking photos. We had the most magical week as a family. Met some wonderful people & had some unforgettable experiences. I can't recommend Serondella enough. Thank you so much to all the staff, each and every one of them made our stay so special.

We were pleasantly surprised by this amazing and intimate lodge! The staff is absolutely wonderful! Peter, Bongi and Alfred made us feel right at home! The rooms are beautifully styled and overlooked a very lively waterhole! We had the pleasure of having elephants right in front of us while in our heated private plunge pool! The food and dining experiences was absolutely amazing! They went the extra mile by preparing a private dinner in the bush and made my birthday extra special! The game viewing is spectacular as well! We loved everything about this lodge and will definitely be back!!

..it should be without a doubt. We had the privilege to be part of the Serondella family for four memorable days. The lodge is breathtakingly beautiful, as are the people you will meet. Guirly's kind welcoming manor makes it home fron the second you arrive. The food is divine, and in Thomas's very capable hands. The kindness and warmth of the lodge staff is genuine and remarkable. The lodge and rooms are beautifully designed, having stylish luxury interiors, and thoughtful touches throughout. Indoor/outdoor shower, outdoor bath, plunge pool and deck overlooking the watering hole, to which elephants, impala buffalo's are regular visitors. The spa treatments are divine, and truly therapeutic. We were lucky meet Alfred and Andries, who gave us fascinating luxury game drives from which we learnt so much, and taught us an understanding of nature and its magnificence we will treasure. Not forgetting our early morning coffee, or Gin and Tonic watching the majestic African sunset. But in my quiet moments of reflection, what will stay with me forever, is Wilfreds thoughtful manor, and his kind gentle reply to my thank you's.."its a pleasure".. I hope to convey..the pleasure was all ours. Thank you Serondella..from the bottom of our hearts.. xxxx

This was our pre-covid booked trip of a lifetime that was so worth waiting for, just cannot praise everyone at Serondella enough. From the beautiful singing African welcome to the last night BOMA singing and dancing it was like staying with family whilst being totally spoilt at the same time. Unbelievable game drives, seen the big 5 and so much more, could spend hours writing that up but so much wanted to see wild dogs and that was delivered on day one. Our room was beautifully decorated and had all the mod cons you could wish for and overlooked the waterhole which hosted daily visitors including elephants, zebra, impala, warthogs and even a late night hyena and this all between game drives!!! The food was incredible and beautifully presented and considering were you are, just fantastic and definitely put a few pounds on. I always think it’s people that make the place and all of the staff at Serondella could not do enough for us and treated us truly like family. Not 100% on spelling but in no particular order special special thanks to Lorna, Gabriel, Alfred, Andries, Wilfred, Bongy, Langy, Busi, TJ and Peter, you were all fantastic, thanks again for making our stay so special. It was difficult to leave but we have many many special memories to treasure. Don’t hesitate to book Serondella, you really won’t be disappointed and I cannot recommend this lodge and fantastic staff highly enough!!! Thanks again
