A Change of Season at Nedile Lodge
As we transition from the vibrant summer rains into the cooler months, nature has gifted us a dramatic shift in scenery and climate. This past month, Welgevonden Game Reserve experienced its heaviest rainfall in over a decade — a truly remarkable event that left the landscape rich, green, and teeming with life.
Now, as the rainclouds begin to clear, a crispness has entered the air. The reserve remains beautifully lush, but the first golden leaves have started to fall, hinting at the winter to come. With the rain season drawing to a close, we anticipate a chilly season ahead — but at Nedile, we’re ready for it.
Winter at Nedile is a time of quiet beauty, and cozy comfort.
To help you enjoy every moment, we’ve kept our long-loved winter touches in place: each suite is equipped with a fireplace, perfect for unwinding after an afternoon drive. At night, we tuck hot water bottles into your bed for added warmth, so you fall asleep wrapped in comfort while the bushveld cools around you.
And the early morning safaris? We’ve got you covered — quite literally. Guests are welcomed onto the vehicle with soft fleece-lined ponchos, blankets, and personal hot water bottles, turning even the coldest sunrise into a toasty adventure.
So, if you’re planning your next escape to Nedile Lodge, don’t forget to pack warmly, but know that we’ve thought of everything to make winter in the wild something truly special. We look forward to welcoming you into the warmth of the wilderness.
