Laluka Safari Lodge, Vaalwater

Laluka is a dream come true for owners Didier Eeman, Simon Eeman, and Giulia Avanzi. It’s a labor of love, and it shows - every aspect of this boutique lodge has been carefully considered to offer an encounter with the African bush unlike any other.

In Zulu, the word “laluka” means to grow in wisdom, to become intelligent and the team at Laluka Safari Lodge has taken this to heart, aspiring to give visitors an opportunity to experience more, to learn more and ultimately to connect with the bush on a deeper level.

Just 3 hrs from Pretoria and Johannesburg, Welgevonden Game Reserve is home to over 50 species of mammal and boasts a varying experience of diverse African landscapes. From the vast savannahs and grasslands to the deep mountain ravines, our expertly trained local guides will help you discover the magic of this Unesco-declared biosphere through driven safaris and nature walks.

On return from your adventures you can rejuvenate in the wellness centre, process and print your pictures in the photography studio and enjoy a 5-star meal prepared with ingredients from our own micro-farm.
