We didn’t get to see many animals, especially lions, leopards and rhinos. Probably we were not lucky.

I get to experience a "real" safari. You can not replicate that.

Balule Reserve offers a personal safari experience. The guides are knowledgeable and go out of their way to make your experience memorable whilst protecting the environment and the wildlife within the reserve.

We managed to see the big 5 and much more. Our guide Viktor was the best!

So peaceful and serene. We saw plenty of animals in a short space of time. Really excited to be there.

Disappointing

Very dry landscape, very little wildlife. Some lions, leopards and wild dogs. Almost no herbivores. I do not recommend reserving at the end of the dry season for this reason.

Amazing lion sightings (very cloes to the car!), we saw pride of lions a couple of times. Lots of rhinos (we saw 6 of them in one day!!), in general great safari destination,
