Allein in der Natur, mit komfortabler Ausstattung. Es fehlt an nichts. Auch nicht an den Tieren, die wir von der Unterkunft aus beobachten konnten (Giraffen, Springböcke, Kudus). Die Frösche klangen wie Vögel. Vögel, die wir bislang nicht kannten, besuchten unser Anwesen den ganzen Tag. Der Spaziergang mit den Elefanten war natürlich ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Die beiden Gastgeber, Arina und Gerhard kümmerten sich rührig um uns. Die Kommunikation war absolut vorbildlich. Indalu ist eine kleine kostbare Perle - ohne touristische Fülle. Wer Ruhe und Natur sucht, findet hier alle seine Wünsche erfüllt.

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich sehr besonders und die Eigentümer super freundlich und stets hilfsbereit! Mit Glück kommen die Tiere sogar direkt an der Lodge vorbei. Die Safari und der Elephant Walk sind absolut empfehlenswert! :) lieber hier als in den großen Game Lodges übernachten!

I will check this off my list as one of the best experiences of my life! We were greeted by our host when we arrived and then taken to our room/chalet. They even blocked out the other chalet for us to be private! The whole time, you feel special. The game drive was the best, with informative commentary, and you could feel the special bond the owner has with his animals. Something that really gets lost with bigger game lodges. The lapa was great, and we spent a night under the stars! I would highly recommend Indalu Game Reserve, and I wish them all the best with their future plans!

Our two-night stay at Indalu Game Reserve was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt that this was much more than a game reserve—it is a place built with passion, purpose, and deep respect for nature. Every detail of the property reflects care and authenticity. The accommodation is beautiful, comfortable, peaceful, and perfectly integrated into its natural surroundings. Waking up to the sounds of nature and spending time in such an environment was a privilege. Our heartfelt thanks go to Gerhard and his wife for creating such a remarkable place. Their dedication to protecting wildlife and preserving the environment is genuinely inspiring. What they are doing goes far beyond managing a beautiful reserve—it is a meaningful contribution to humanity and to future generations. Their love for nature is reflected in everything they do. To future guests, my advice is simple: listen carefully to the instructions and follow them. They are there to protect both you and the animals, and by respecting them, you will enjoy one of the most memorable experiences of your life. One of the absolute highlights was walking alongside the elephants and having the opportunity to feed them. It was an emotional, humbling, and truly magical experience that we will remember forever. Thank you, Gerhard and your wonderful team, for giving us memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. We sincerely hope to return again one day.

A few helpful tips for future guests: The lodge is powered by solar energy, which is something I truly admired. I encourage all guests to use electricity responsibly—not because it is a limitation, but because it reflects the owners’ genuine commitment to sustainability and protecting the environment. In my opinion, this is a feature that makes the experience even more special. Also, it is important to keep the bedroom doors and the kitchen door closed, especially when they are not in use. This is simply part of staying in a true wildlife reserve and helps prevent reptiles or other small wildlife from entering the accommodation. Embracing these simple guidelines allows you to enjoy an authentic safari experience while respecting the beautiful natural environment that makes Indalu Game Reserve so unique.
