Galago Private Bush Lodge is set on 17 hectares of pure bushveld and is located just 16 km from Bela Bela on the R516, Thabazimbi road, only an hour from Pretoria and one and a half hours from Johannesburg. This is an ideal setting for small private group functions and secluded getaways.
The only bush traffic you will have here are our birds and small game and the only lights you will see are stunning sunsets, camp fires and magnificent star-lit nights.
The lodge consists of four comfortable en-suite suite cottages, two of which are two-bed cottages, one of which is a four-bed cottage and one that is a eight-bed cottage. Each cottage has its own bathroom with a flush toilet, hand basin and shower with hot and cold water. Linen and towels are also provided.
All of the cottages are self-catered with full kitchen utensils and equipped with fridge, 4 plate gas stove, tea and coffee stations, free-standing portable braais.
The communal Lapa includes a dining table and chairs and braai facilities. There is a solar heated swimming pool and paths through the bush to see the resident duikers and impala and nyala, abundant bird life, and game on the adjoining farms. A tuck shop is available for daily needs as well as Internet.
We are proud of our four spacious camping sites which offers private ablution facilities. Six newly constructed camping sites with their ablution facility is also available. These sites are paved with gravel and is equipped with a 15A power outlet as well as a braai stand. The camping site has its own swimming pool and Lapa. The Lapa is also available for guests who wants to host their private function.
There are many activities nearby if you want to do more than just linger and completely relax in our lodge; you can visit the elephant and cheetah sanctuaries which are only 10 km from the lodge. Game viewing is available on request. There is also a golf driving range nearby and of course, the hot springs in the area.
"Philip was a gracious and willing host, helping with everything from luggage to ice. The pool was heated (maybe a bit too much) but was brilliant, the big screen TV for World Cup matches was an added bonus. The rooms were comfortable, without being luxurious, but the extra touch of a portable fan again made the difference. Probably the best value for money I have experienced in a long time - we will be back."
"A lovely place to get away from the busy hustle of the city. Accommodation was comfortable with everything you needed for a relaxing stay. A beautiful setting and very welcoming and accommodating hostess. Will definitely return."
"I loved the surrounding and the accommodation was excellent."
"Lovely place, clean, well organized, lovely service, and of course lovely people who are working there, all the best and i am sure i will come again the nearest."
"They need to pave the road its not user friendly for small cars"
"If you want a quiet, low-tempo and low-intensity breakaway, this is a perfect choice. Don't expect to be entertained -- go there to escape the hustle and bustle and to relax! Everything you need is there and the cottage was surprisingly cosy and comfortable despite the very cold weather outside."
"The seclusion of the place tranquility. the exposure to the wild life. The pool was smaller than expected and i was looking forward to something bigger. the bed wasn't comfortable"
"Friendly Loved the stay and watching the game walk around the chalets."
"We were very disappointed with the weekend."
"We just relaxed, enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi and the absolute quietness. You just hear birds and the sounds of nature. The buck walks freely between the chalets. Watched stars and satellites around the fire until very late. Wonderful experience and will recommend it for groups as you can rent out the whole lodge at reasonable rates."
"We had amazing experience, the chalays were clean and beautiful. The pool was clean. The jacuzzi was good. It was overall really good"
"The place is amazing. It's a nice place for family vacation . We really enjoyed ourselves , definitely worth going back . But Jacuzzi must be fixed."

"Margaret is lovely! Welcoming and extremely helpful - nothing was a problem. Facilities are good. Rooms are comfortable and the entire place is relaxing and homely. All I would say is I would be happy to pay extra for dish washing but that is such a minor thing..."
"Very comfortable and warm beds Beautiful surroundings peaceful and quiet. Friendly staff (ownere)"
"We have enjoyed our stay my friends were very excited the Jacuzzi was very clean the place is also very clean.We want you to put TV and wardrobes in our rooms so that when we bring children they can not be bored luckily we had our own music which kept us busy and put more chairs in a 8 sleeper room like the high chairs in the kitchen and change the sofa its old.but all in all it was wonderfull Phillip the owner is a very nice person"
"We arrived at this wonderful place and was greeted with smiles. The stay was amazing and we had a wonderful time. Will definitely be back."
"We absolutely loved the hospitality of the owners, and dear Margaret (with her cute dog which loves shoe laces). The quietness and privacy was just what we needed and received. Hmmmm, I had to quickly learn to get used to not sitting glued to a TV but take a walk in the bush for some fresh air and game viewing. Thanks for making me exercise my muscles...I would welcome some gym equipment and bank card facility."
"We went to Galago for my sisters bachelorette party! The hosts were awesome and so accomodating! The facilities were great! The accomodation was clean and had everything we needed! Thank you so much for an awesome night away! We will definitely recommend Galago to friends and family!"

"Loved waking up and seeing wildlife just meters away from you. The only thing lacking was TV or a Radio of some sort as it was very quite in the challets and having a radio or TV would have helped, there is WiFi but the reception was not that good to go onto it from my phone."
"Margret and the team were so accommodating and the units themselves were perfect for a family of 6 to stay comfortably"
"The rooms were clean and had everything that we needed. My friends and I spent the afternoon out in the pool and had a braai. I will def consider going again in future. Thank you to our hosts"
"This is a lovely get away with clean rooms, a helpful grounds person called Margret and a sparkling pool.<br/>We particularly enjoyed the walking paths where we saw duiker and impala often and would recommend this as a cost effective and wonderfully kept little secret garden.<br/>Very impressed and would love to return. <br/>"
"A very tranquil and well kept place. Will certainly recommend it."
"Beautiful place! Phillip is a very warm and kind host. enjoyed peace and quiet. Will definitely be going back"
"We had a very nice 3 night stay in the larger wolf lair cottage with two young kids. The cottage was equipped with everything and the have a very nice communal kitchen as well. The kids enjoyed the pool as well as the short walks around the farm. The owners are very friendly and helpful and at the same time you have your privacy. They are busy expanding and there was some building taking place but it didn't bother us."
"wolf song is an amazing place to just get away from the busy buzzing city ,place to reconnect .owners Phillip and his wife great souls .rooms were neat ,sheets clean .the pictures on the net do not do justice to the place itself itis just beautiful will recommend it to anyone who wants fun ,privacy and an affordable good place in Limpopo. enjoyed my weekend"
"We were very happy visiting the past weekend and the accommodation was very good!"
"The place to go if you need to get away from the rat race. Facilities are well cared for and very clean. We were booked into a larger chalet than the one we originally booked simply because it was available. Pat (the owner) will go out of her way to ensure you enjoy your stay."
"Nice quiet place to go and relax. It was truly amazing there. Thanks.Just one request, please try and remove spiders and their webs from room. Thanks."
"Absolutely loved the atmosphere, the houses were neat and the communal kitchen is a great place for all the guests to get together. Would definitely recommend Wolfsong for group functions!"
"Wolf Song is comfortable and well kept. It is properly away from the hustle and bustle for a very quiet, relaxed getaway. The venue would be ideal for small group or family get-togethers.Bela Bela and vicinity unfortunately does not offer much to do."
"Wolf song was a wonderful place to stay, it is a very peaceful and relaxing place."
"We had a wonderful time at Wolf Song. A quiet place for a get away from the bustle... Great walk through the bush path. Place is neat and clean with adequate facilities. We enjoyed it."
