Discover the journey that brought Ndlovu Safari Lodge to life.
The Spirit of Ndlovu
Ndlovu, the native word for “elephant,” represents strength and majesty. At our lodge, this spirit guides every detail, creating a serene space for adventure and reflection in the wilderness. Much like the elephants that roam the reserve, it reminds us to move gently through nature, to appreciate its beauty, and to live with balance and purpose.
A Dream Born in Africa
Ndlovu Safari Lodge is family-owned and born from a lifelong love for Africa. Originally from the Netherlands, our family was captivated by the beauty, wildlife, and spirit of this continent, and we wanted to share that experience with others. Ndlovu is the result of that dream: a place where guests can connect with nature and feel the warmth and wonder of life in the bush.
