Ezulwini Game Lodges

Eluzwini Lodges (both River Lodge and Billie's Lodge) are exceptional. My wife and I just spent 3 days in each and can't imagine a better "safari" experience. The facilities are authentically native in design and decoration. The drivers and trackers are the most experienced in the region, and delight in pointing out not just the animals but the vegetation and their traditional use in village life. The lodge staff quickly becomes like family, looking after every detail of supplying excellent meals. I couldn't recommend them more!

My wife and i have just spent a memorable 6 days at Ezulwini River lodge. Accommodation was extremely comfortable in a very well appointed room, with a private splash pool. The outside shower just added to the bush experience. Dining under the spacious thatch we were treated to restaurant quality food and service. Many hours were spent enjoying splendid views of the Olifants river from 2 decks and walkways under huge shady trees. Knowledgeable guides on the drives made every effort to track down as many game sightings as possible. Every staff member made the experience memorable and we will be certain to return

Wonderful experience — highly recommend. I stayed at Ezulwini River Lodge for three nights and Ezulwini Billy’s Lodge for three nights, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the moment we began planning the trip, the staff was responsive, helpful, and attentive to every question or concern. They also recommended and arranged two excursions outside of the safari experience, including round-trip airport transportation. When we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome. The team was consistently professional, kind, and welcoming, creating a genuine family atmosphere. The accommodations were upscale safari chic, which I loved. The lodge felt comfortable and relaxed, almost like a vacation home, and I enjoyed exploring the property outside of the game drives. The game drives were truly incredible. By the third day, we had already seen all of the Big Five. The reserve’s intimate setting made the experience feel personal and uncrowded, allowing us to fully appreciate the property, staff, scenery, and wildlife. Its premier location near the river, along with the off-road game drives, provided excellent opportunities for spotting and tracking animals, as well as capturing memorable photos. The food was fantastic, with everything thoughtfully prepared from scratch, including the soaps in the bathrooms. This smaller game reserve is ideal for anyone seeking a more intimate and memorable safari experience, similar to having a private estate/ vacation home. I am especially grateful to Ang, Craig, Knox, Glory, Ashley, Hector, Richard, Frans, Conrad, Sue, and the entire team for their hard work, kindness, and hospitality. I look forward to returning with my family and would highly recommend Ezulwini to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind safari experience they will remember for years to come.
