We loved everything about Senalala. The lodge overlooks a waterhole and animals came to drink right in front of us — incredible to watch from camp. The food was excellent, the room very comfortable, and the surrounding bush is stunning. All the staff were friendly and polite. Special mention to our guide James, who did everything to make sure we saw the Big Five in just two days — persistent, patient and always explaining things clearly. Highly recommended.

Fomos muito bem recebidos. Fomos tratados com muito carinho. As refeições estavam deliciosas. Os Safaris guiados pelo JAMES foram muito bons. A equipe toda está de parabéns. Recomendo esse Lodge a todos. Gratidão.

Tudo estava ótimo

Phenomenal lodge and staff with wonderful guides. We loved the small, cozy environment with (amazing!) family-style meals shared with guides and staff and met nothing but incredible people whom we've stayed in touch with. I also appreciated that Senalala places only two people per row in each truck versus the usual three, which gave us more room and mobility to view and also converse more with our guide.

Senalala was the trip of a lifetime for us. The lodge itself is idyllic, with views of the waterhole even from the bed in our room, and a very homely experience (help yourself to drinks, etc any time, cosy communal spaces). The food was delicious, with dedicated vegetarian options for us as well as SA classics such as boerwors in the few days we were there. That said, the true highlight of Senalala was the fantastic team, who were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our guide Dawie was fantastic and made our game drives unforgettable. His knowledge across the animals and birds was incredible. Some favourite encounters were a mating couple of leopards, some quality time watching a rhino grazing up close, and a sunset spent with a pride of lions.

I can't find any faults with our experience - I'll come back to Senalala if I can.
