LALUKA SAFARI LODGE 

ABOUT

Laluka is a small family-owned and operated luxury lodge in the heart of Welgevonden Game Reserve in Limpopo, South Africa. We strive to have a low impact on the environment and offer an unforgettably personal experience of this incredible corner of the world.
When we conceptualised Laluka, we set out to design a lodge and an experience that truly is unlike any other. It’s hard to say what made us choose our location in the Welgevonden Game Reserve, it might have been the incredible view of the valley, perhaps it was the seasonal fresh water stream that runs through the piece of land, and of course we were naturally drawn to the proximity to the watering hole - but more than that it was the feeling we got when we stood in this place. The tranquil, quiet feeling of being at peace with the world around us. Everything about Laluka is guided by that unmistakable feeling and it’s our aim to have every guest leave rested, connected and invigorated by the magnificent African bushveld.
Complimenting the complex, raw beauty of the bushveld are our understated but undeniably luxurious suites. Complete with private patios, plunge pools, air-conditioning, outdoor showers and unique bushveld vistas; Laluka’s rooms make for an ideal space to relax and reinvigorate.
Our ambition to curate an experience of the bush like no other really comes to life in our food. Our chef has crafted a seasonal menu that is nothing short of a celebration of the fresh flavours of Africa.
We believe that wellness is a natural bi-product of time in the bush, but sometimes you just need a massage to go with it. Laluka’s spa boasts a wide array of facilities and treatments, using natural, local beauty and skincare products.
Whether you’re after that perfect sunset, or you’re looking to camp out at a watering hole and get an action shot, you’ll get every pic you’re hoping for at Laluka. Photography lessons, specially kitted trucks and even a printing studio back at the lodge - as keen photographers ourselves we made sure that Laluka would be fully equipped for every level of photographer.
Laluka overlooks one of the reserve’s best watering holes, but if you want to get even closer we have an eye-level hide that is mere centimeters from the water’s edge. Every photographer’s dream - spend hours enjoying a personal encounter with each animal as it wonders down to quench its thirst.
