Your 18 On The Hill Safari Experience
18 On The Hill is one of Greater Kruger's most exciting new arrivals. This Balule safari lodge has a modern design and facilities to keep you comfortable, plus staff that go the extra mile to ensure you have a memorable safari.
Situated above the bush in the Maseke Game Reserve, a community-owned wilderness in Balule that shares an unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park, the setting is not merely scenic - it is strategic.
From this elevated position, you are connected to the full drama of the landscape: the open savannah, the mosaic of habitats, and the distant glimmer of the Olifants River as it winds through 3 000 ha of riverfront traverse that forms part of the lodge's game drive territory.
Wildlife moves freely through this vast, unfenced ecosystem, and encounters with Big 5 wildlife are both frequent and thrillingly unpredictable. Expertly guided game drives give you the best chance of spotting wildlife on your bucket list.
What distinguishes 18 On The Hill is a quality that is difficult to manufacture: genuine intention. The team here understands that guests are parting with precious time, and they treat that responsibility seriously. Expect superb service and personalised attention.
