Wielewaal Bush Lodge

Beautiful location and beautiful people. The owners are fantastic people, kind and welcoming. They also take care of all your needs. I’m celiac and I could eat everything, they cooked separately for me the thing that I couldn’t eat (also the food was excellent). I will come back for sure!!! Highly recommended!

Everything was absolutely perfect. The owners, Retha and Willie, along with their wonderful staff, made the stay truly unforgettable. I loved the rooms and all the thoughtful decorative touches

Willy and Retha have created a truly surreal and unforgettable experience at Wielewaal Bush Lodge. From the moment you arrive, their warmheartedness and genuine hospitality stand out and make you feel instantly at home. We stayed in a tent as a family of four, which was very comfortable and included air conditioning, real luxury in the bush. While the beds for the kids were a bit firm and space for luggage took some figuring out, these were minor details compared to the overall experience. Every part of our stay was thoughtfully crafted - even though we were visiting the Kruger during the day, we would look forward to coming back to the lodge. From the delicious three-course dinners with very local/Afrikaans influences to the delightful breakfasts, accompanied by the sight of nearby wildlife, the food was consistently excellent. Watching animals while having breakfast is something you have to experience for yourself. Our kids got some sweet potatoes and fed the animals by hand - an experience they will not forget! The kids absolutely loved it, and they were genuinely disappointed when it was time to leave. In fact, they asked if we could return again and we certainly hope to!
