Baluleni is a 4-star lodge located on the banks of the Olifants River, in the private section of the world-famous Kruger National Park

Here, you are not just an observer but also part of nature. Elephants, giraffes, antelopes, and others roam freely across the lodge grounds, making every moment unique. With us, you are a guest amidst the natural habitat of the legendary BIG 5.

Imagine hearing the wild sounds of Africa – the distant roar of lions, the cries of baboons, and the chirping of countless birds in the trees by the river.
