About Us

Who are we?

​

Nestled in the heart of the bushveld, Indaka Lodge was founded  with a vision to offer guests a truly tranquil and unforgettable escape into nature. A place where luxury meets the wild, Indaka Lodge is more than just a destination—it is an experience crafted with care, dedication, and a deep love for the beauty of the African wilderness.

​

Indaka Lodge is owned and passionately run by a dynamic mother-son duo, Madelein and Arno. Together, they have built a sanctuary where hospitality is not just a service but a way of life. Their unwavering commitment to excellence ensures that every guest is welcomed with warmth and sincerity, making them feel at home from the moment they arrive. Whether it is a personalised touch to enhance a stay, an extra effort to cater to special requests, or simply sharing a heartfelt conversation, Madelein and Arno go above and beyond to create meaningful connections and lasting memories.

​

The lodge itself embodies a stylish, trendy, and minimalistic aesthetic, taking inspiration from the striking beauty of the zebra. The black-and-white theme reflects not only elegance and simplicity but also the deep-rooted symbolism of these majestic creatures. The architecture and decor seamlessly blend into the natural surroundings, providing a serene yet sophisticated retreat where guests can unwind and immerse themselves in the tranquil bushveld atmosphere.

​

Indaka Lodge offers an array of exceptional experiences tailored to meet the desires of every guest. From luxurious accommodations with breathtaking views to guided game drives in Marakele National Park and wildlife encounters in your very patio, every moment is designed to captivate and inspire. Guests can savour delectable cuisine, relax by the lodge’s inviting outdoor spaces, swimming pool, bonfire, or indoor fireplace, and witness the wonders of nature as wild game roam freely around the lodges and rooms.

​

At Indaka Lodge, the foundation of our approach is built upon three core pillars:

• Personalised Experiences: Every guest is unique, and so is their stay. We take pride in tailoring every visit to meet individual preferences, ensuring a truly special and memorable retreat.

• Unparalleled Comfort: We strive to create an environment where relaxation comes naturally, where guests can escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary with ease.

• Genuine Hospitality: Warmth and attentiveness define our service. Our team is not just staff—they are family, and every guest is treated with the same heartfelt care.

Our Vision and Mission

​

At Indaka Lodge, we look to the zebra as a guiding symbol of our values and aspirations. Much like this remarkable animal, we stand for:

• Unique Identity: Just as every zebra has its own stripe pattern, Indaka Lodge is a one-of-a-kind sanctuary where guests feel at home, away from home.

• Adaptability: Zebras thrive in diverse environments, and so do we. We continuously adapt to industry trends and guest needs, ensuring that we always provide the best experiences possible.

• Strong Community: Zebras are social creatures that rely on each other for survival. We cherish the sense of community within our team and among our guests, fostering strong, long-lasting relationships built on trust and friendship.

• Focus and Agility: Like the zebra, we remain agile and focused, responding swiftly to challenges while staying true to our goals and vision.

​

Indaka Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it is a journey into the heart of nature, a hidden gem, where every guest is valued, every detail is considered, and every visit is an opportunity to create unforgettable moments. Whether you are seeking adventure, relaxation, or a connection with the wild, Indaka Lodge welcomes you to experience the bushveld like never before.
