Nyala Safari Lodge stands on the banks of the seasonal Mohlabetsi River in the Balule Nature Reserve, which shares unfenced borders with Kruger National Park. Ancient Jackalberry and Boer-bean trees shade the camp, and the lodge is operated through Sun Destinations, with a sister property, Nyala Sands Lodge, nearby.

The lodge has five thatched rondavels sleeping up to ten guests in queen or twin configurations, with sandy-beige interiors, light wood and Egyptian cotton linen; every unit has indoor and outdoor showers, with some offering deep baths and views over bush, pool or river. Two guided game drives run daily, morning and afternoon, each around three hours with a coffee stop and sundowners, with optional bush breakfasts and boma dinners. An elevated deck overlooks the river and a floodlit waterhole sits on site, in a reserve recorded with the Big Five. The lodge runs on solar power with a grey-water and recycling system.
