Glamping Sites in Balule Game Reserve

Great staff, food, location, game drives

Knowledgeable guides and friendly staff. Truly a chance to be part of nature in the SA Bush. But it's not back to basics, because the food is diverse and was delicious every night. We couldn't have picked a better place to start our honeymoon. We were able to see all of the big five, spread out over different game drives. But we were happy that there was also time spent on other land animals, birds, trees, animal behaviour and even the animal droppings. It was a luxury, educational and fun stay at a classic bush camp.

The property is super nice, with a fence around it so also safe. Is has a really nice public area with a great swimming pool and view over the parc. While chilling there you can always see some animals.

The staff, facilities, food and drink were fantastic. The game drives were a lot of fun, and animals were visible right from the lux property.

What an incredible experience at Muweti. We were hosted by Audrey and our guide Neil. They were both extremely kind and really took good care of us. The room was spacious and comfortable with all amenities you'd expect. The property is well-kept and with only 3 lodges it maintains a calm aura. The food was absolutely spectacular - the kitchen really works wonders. Our day always began with a morning game drive, followed by breakfast, some free time, lunch, and then an afternoon game drive. We rounded off with a sit by the fire and then dinner and drinks. Everything was very well coordinated and efficient. The game drives were super. Not only did we see a lot of animals and birds (Muweti is located inside a private reserve), but the level of knowledge that Neil had was unreal. We learned a lot about the behaviors, habits, and physiology of many animals, birds and even trees from Neil. He's young, talented, and very funny so the game drives were incredibly fun. We'd go back to Muweti in a heartbeat - it was a great experience.

This is a seriously special place. Its viewing deck onto the river is spectacular and offers an experience you won’t get at other even more expensive lodges. From the deck we were lucky enough to see Leopard, Hippo, multiple Elephant herds and more. The staff are wonderfully friendly and the meals were great. We have visited many lodges over the years, and this is one we will absolutely go back to.

Idyllic setting on the Olifants River. The room was comfortable and the catering was excellent.

Your stay includes a morning bush drive, afternoon bush drive, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This family run safari camp is incredibly designed, and run by the sweetest people. I cannot recommend this place enough to get the perfect blend of African bush, but also luxury camping with delicious meals! Our guide was amazing, the animals were stunning, and the entire stay was magical. Normally I'm skeptical of 10/10 reviews, but this place earns the reputation in spades!

Highly recommend this lodge! This is the perfect way to do a conveniently planned safari. The lodge is on a game reserve, surrounded by gates, all meals are included, game drives are twice a day. The rooms were clean & spacious, and the lodge area was nice to walk around or swim in the pool. All the food was amazing, the staff was super friendly. The chef cooked us 3 meals a day. Coffee in morning, game drive at 5:30-8:30am (depends on season/sunlight), breakfast, downtime until lunch around 1pm, afternoon/evening game drive at 4-7pm, dinner. We saw lots of animals, 4 out of the big 5, no leopard, but they have been sighted there many times!
