Serondella Safari Lodge

You hear them first, a deep vibrating rumble, the sound of breaking branches as they feed, and suddenly they are all around you. The great grey dusty shadows of the mothers, protective siblings, rubber legged new-borns. Perhaps a solitary bull with magnificent tusks. And once you have seen them, nothing can be the same. Experience wild Africa where the giants walk.

Serondella means "The Place of the Elephant", and no stay at this stunning lodge, situated on a tributary of the seasonal Monwana River in the mid-section of the Thornybush Nature Reserve, is complete without a special encounter with these gentle giants as they move between the two waterholes and the watercourse.

Serondella Safari Lodge offers outstanding game viewing in the company of your highly qualified tracker and ranger along with the superb comfort and hospitality of a luxury lodge.

Ideal for family getaways or a romantic getaway, Serondella Safari Lodge accommodates a maximum of 12 people in 2 luxury suites, a two bedroom Family Suite and a Family Suite with 3 bedrooms all en-suite, each offering a choice of bush or waterhole view, and located for maximum privacy and seclusion. Our herd is waiting to welcome you.

Serondella Safari Lodge is situated in a private concession in the world-famous Thornybush Nature Reserve, which is part of the Greater Kruger National Park and World Heritage Site. It is the ultimate of intimate game lodges, situated on a riverine forest on the banks of the ephemeral Monwana River. The lodge and suites’ are surrounded by plenty of flora, and the view over the lodge waterhole is almost always interrupted by animals that gave Serondella its name - elephants. The lodge is sublime in all aspects including décor, food design, hosting, and of course, exceptional game viewing safaris; by custom-designed Land Cruisers or by foot.
