12. Emdoneni Lodge

Hluhluwe

"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do. Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you will need to eat dinner at the lodge. The foods is quite plain with not much choice. Also be aware that the rooms have no TVs. I would recommend the Lodge for its position and the attentive staff."

"Leopard Walk Lodge: A Perfect African Retreat After a demanding business trip from the USA, Leopard Walk Lodge was the ideal place to unwind before my 30-hour flight home. With a small number of luxury lodges, each designed for complete privacy, it offers a serene escape in the heart of the African bush. The accommodations are beautifully furnished with all the amenities you could need, including excellent WiFi. However, it’s the stillness of the wilderness that truly soothes the soul, inviting...

Thanda Safari

8/10 Good

"It was an excellent safari place. There were one waitress that needs to be kinder and more helpful. Food quality (beef cuts) should improve too. The lamb was full of nerves and fat. Rooms were beatiful. Game drives amazing."

Duiker Game Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great venue and staff"

Bushwillow Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Thobile and her team are very friendly and accommodating. This is my third stay at this property and very happy with everything"

The Wilds Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for family peace and quiet. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The place is 5 Star in my books"

Ezulwini Game Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We cannot say enough good things about Ezulwini! Gorgeous views, comfortable accommodation, amazing food, friendly staff - it was just top notch, thank you!"

Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Staff members were full of hospitality, the main area is spectacular and cozy. Three hours driving tour through the game reserve was fun, but since there are two driving tours per day, it’d be nicer if there are shorter hours options well because three hours driving can get tiring."

Ama Zulu Guesthouse and Safaris

8/10 Good

"Very good, cozy and comfortable"

Malkoha Lake St. Lucia

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful and I loved the boardwalks through the forest. The staff was very helpful, professional, and friendly - they went out of their way to accommodate me as a vegetarian and the chef made a delicious curry even though it wasn't on the menu. Thank you for the lovely stay!"
