Mkuze Falls Game Lodge

Hubby and I visited Mkuze Private Game lodge , a week ago. We stayed over 2 nights and it beat all of our expectations..from the food ,hospitality, service ,atmosphere and boy o boy that view from the deck...the absolute best !! We were welcomed by Sihle (reservations) Sipho (game ranger) and out waitress (I feel awful for not remembering her name) from the time we arrived we were met with big welcoming smiles and waves, we felt right at home.. the waitress, I wish I could remember her name , was so pleasent and welcoming..she ensured we always had our meals on time ...omg ...the food is absolutely delicious, definitely a 10/10 ...Thulani (at the bar) ensured we were never thirsty 😉 he's stories of the area and reserve had us entertained and wanting to know and learn more ...as there are 2 game drives a day, Sipho went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing drive and tracked the animals prints to the point that led us to lions , elephants ,cheetah to name a few ..this is excluding having the privilege to see zebras ,giraffes, wildebeest,impalas, kudus, baboons, crocodiles, rhino, hippos and many different species of birds Hes knowledge of animals is like that of no other ..he is so friendly and humble and ensured we were having a good time always.. pictures and videos don't do justice to this hidden gem ..it is well worth the 4 hour drive from Durban... If youre looking to spend time in nature ...look no further!!! Ps..going into winter...please carry a warm jacket and gloves for the morning game drives as it does get abit nippy

This lodge was absolutely the most beautiful thing we saw on our trip to South Africa, which was really rich in great accommodations. The location: Above the waterfall with a view of the unique landscape and the crocodiles. Wonderful little houses with wraparound balconies, fantastic facilities. The safaris start directly from the hotel and are led by knowledgeable, friendly guides. The staff were always friendly and attentive.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Mkuze Falls Lodge. The staff was exceptional and the food was amazing. Our compliments to the chef for the wonderful meals we were treated to. Special mention goes to our guide Sipho who provided above-and-beyond game drive experiences and additional information to round out our learnings of the area and its special wildlife - from animals to trees, birds and the history of the area. We enjoyed a restful and peaceful stay at stunning Mkuze.
