Situated in the Balule Nature Reserve - Greater Kruger National Park
Situated in the 35 000 hectare privately owned Balule Nature Reserve adjacent and unfenced to the Kruger National Park, the Greenfire Game Lodge is isolated and intensely close to the magic of Africa.
The diversity of vegetation within the reserve ensures that good game sightings are guaranteed, and besides the “Big 5” we are especially proud of the abundant bird life and smaller mammals attracted by the riverine forest and open plains. Our qualified staff will explain the intricacies of the bush in detail.
Adrian and Kim are your hosts and assisted by competant and friendly staff to asssist them. All of the staff at this Balule lodge are highly trained and qualified and will ensure that you get the maximum from your experience.
If you really wish to spend your time on an African safari with a small international group, and you relish the thought of an environmentally educational and adventurous experience where 'roughing it and loving it' are the order of the day, then this adventure lodge is your only choice.
Accommodation is in nine well-spaced luxurious, insect proof, twin-bedded suites under thatch. Each suite has a spacious inner-tented sleeping chamber, offering the occupants the full spectrum of the sounds of the African night without compromising safety - fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the African night.
All suites are comfortably appointed with electricity, full bathroom with shower and a private patio overlooking the seasonal Mohlabetsi riverbed. Isolated from each other in the riverine canopy and each with its own viewing deck.

There is an interesting rock pool, which is the perfect place for a refreshing afternoon dip, or laze in the sun, and recall the days events while sipping on a tall, cold refreshing drink.
A central lodge offers panoramic views from the shady verandah, a comfortable lounge, and sun deck with a refreshing swimming pool. A full bar service is also available at this Balule Lodge.
All our meals are exquisitely prepared. Brunch is enjoyed on the veranda after returning from your early-morning activity, while dinner is usually served under the stars in our traditional boma.
Guests can enjoy early morning game drives in the Balule Game Reserve, or the Kruger National park, during which they may encounter animals such as Impala, or Buffalo, and where there are Buffalo, predators such as Lion are not far away. You may even be lucky enough to see a hunt in progress.
Guests could also choose to spend the day in camp, relaxing by the pool and working on their tan.
Birding enthusiasts will delight in staying at this affordable safari lodge, which has an abundance of birdlife, attracted by the riverine forest. Guided bush walks provide good opportunities to see many different species of birds such as Vultures and Fish Eagles.
