Located in the heart of the Greater Kruger National Park, within a prime private concession of the Thornybush Private Game Reserve, Serondella Lodge offers an intimate and luxurious safari experience that blends elegant comfort with authentic wilderness charm.

Two one-bedroom luxury suites, ideal for romantic getaways.
A stylish two-bedroom family suite, perfect for parents and kids.

Each suite is beautifully appointed in a contemporary Afro-Scandinavian design, complemented by custom Anton Smit sculptures and fine furnishings. Private viewing decks, modern amenities, and tranquil surroundings ensure the utmost comfort during your stay.
Serondella has launched an exciting new culinary journey, with a menu that celebrates local, organic ingredients and bold flavors. Under the expert guidance of renowned sommelier Carrie Adams and David van Niekerk of High Constantia Wines, the lodge’s curated wine selection perfectly complements its seasonal artisanal dishes — creating memorable meals under the stars or beside the fire.
