Serondella Lodge
‘Romance, Photography and Family Dreams’
Serondella Lodge accommodates only eight guests in 3 luxuriously appointed suites and a family suite; each one is carefully positioned to ensure privacy and stunning vistas. The camp is set along the banks of the Monwana tributary and flanked by two water holes, affording guests the opportunity to enjoy the abundance of big game and birdlife from spectacular viewing decks. Highly qualified rangers and trackers will take you on game drives and bushveld walks enabling you to get up close to wildlife and fauna of the area.
