Laluka is a small family-owned and operated lodge in the heart of Welgevonden Game Reserve in the Waterberg area, South Africa, aiming to have a low impact on the environment and offer an unforgettably personal experience of this incredible corner of the world.

Laluka is a dream come true for owners Didier, Simon & Giulia. It's a labour 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.

Derived from a Zulu word meaning "grow in wisdom, become intelligent", Laluka strives to offer its guests an opportunity to experience more, to learn more and to create a true connection with nature on a deeper level.

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

On return from your adventures you can rejuvinate in the wellness centre, process and print your pictures in the photographic studio and enjoy a meal prepared with ingredients from our own micro-farm: the Laluka farm.

Laluka is inspired by her surroundings and designed to be a sustainable element of the complex ecosystem that is the African bush. It's more than a safari, it is a meaningful travel through nature, sustainability & conservation.

Overlooking the wilderness of Welgevonden, we believe that everything about Laluka is guided by that unmistakable feeling and it's our aim to have every guest leave rested, engaged with nature and invigorated by this place we call home.

Laluka emphasizes space, light and privacy and encourages an authentic connection with nature through the large doors and windows, all opening directly into the bush. In addition, the en-suite bathroom, the outdoor shower and the heated plunge pool in each suite make it ideal for a lazy afternoon on the deck, looking out for animals drinking at our waterhole.
