Kololo Game Reserve

The experience was phenomenal, the service we received was warm and welcoming like walking into home... The guide Chantel was absolutely fantastic and really went the extra mile, we will definitely be back again

Perfect place with incredible staff and best ranger (Jo). We went for walk game tour in the private reserve where we saw plenty (by ourselves) and with Jo in the big 5 reserve for a 3 hours walk! Unique experience. The lodge is amazing, very nature respectful, very comfortable without being pretentious. Super flexible with breakfast hours and so on. Food is also delicious with a home made taste and good products.

During a family trip to the Kololo Game Reserve including 3 safari trips and staying in the 'Elephant' lodge I had an excellent experience. The staff was very welcoming and worked hard to deliver our (special) requests.There are plenty of reasons to book at the Kololo Game Reserve but what stood out was the unsurpassed host/guide Erik Burton who was very polite and he delivered an outstanding safari tour with a lot of enthousiasm and heart for the wild animals at this reserve.

We had a great stay at Kololo game reserve. We visited Kololo with our 3 kids (4, 2 and 0 y/o) and the manager Tanya and the staff did everything to make our stay as great as possible. The accomodation was clean and big including a kitchen and living room. We did 2 game drives and Kololo arranged a babysitter for our baby so we could do the game drive as relaxed as possible with the 2 other kids. During the game drive we saw lions, zebras, rhinos, elephants and hippo’s and if you are doing a game drive with small kids they can adjust the safari (departure time / appropriate distance if you spot animals) to create the best experience for your family. Also the food and service is great. The loved the staff and the kids menu. They even have a big basket with toys in the restaurant and one of the staff even walked around with the baby so I could finish my coffee during breakfast. Also the pool and playground are fantastic. Very family friendly and a must do if you are visiting South Africa with kids!

The most welcoming and extroardinary experience. We loved our stay in Kololo with the kindest staff and most adventurous ranger Joe! Saw so many animals on the big 5 tour as well as in the hotel reserve. Being able to walk around by foot in this reserve was surreal! Couldn’t recommend a better reserve to experience the beauty of Africa!

Unbelievably spectacular, the best rest to your soul you can ever experience.

Really beautiful! The staff are awesome! Johanna you deserve a special mention!! What a pleasure to have met you. You are an asset to Kololo Lodge!!

Our Kololo stay was extremely memorable!The lodge has an amazing location, bordering Welgevonden Game Reserve. (They offer game drives in Welgevonden Nature Reaerve - they have access into the reserve via a private gate).The lodge offers great activities like walking and cycling (they have bikes available for guests to use) amongst harmless wild animals.They also have an amazing restaurant and pool overlooking the Waterberg landscapes.The staff are extremely helpful, friendly, efficient and overall just amazing!Our game drives were extremely informative and fun.I would recommend this lodge to any family/ couple looking for a very relaxing getaway.

Absolutely amazing weekend. We opted for self catering however the restaurant staff was extremely helpful with anything we needed. The game drive tour guides completed our weekend. The guys taught us a lot about the different animals and the plants in the surroundings. Beautiful place should you wish to go away to a peaceful environment and to recoup. The oven did not work so we improvised, something to check out and the Kettle had a black rust at the bottom so we couldn't boil water but not a deal breaker something to attend to for future guest. Overall it was amazingly worth it. Thank you.

The hosts Tanya and Tom were so kind and welcoming; they went above and beyond to help, and arranged an amazing Brai under the moon at my lodge at no extra cost.I was in one of the larger lodges with a lovely main bedroom and living room.At Kololo you are so close to nature; my lodge had stunning views and when I went on safari I saw lions, rhino, elephants, zebra to name but a few.Come prepared to live close to nature, some roads have no tarmac so bring a high clearance vehicle that can handle rough terrain!This is a real chance to get away from the fast pace of life and connect with nature. I have wonderful memories of this place.
