The safari was absolutely amazing and an experience of a lifetime. Our ranger Jesse was brilliant and made sure we saw everything we could on our 4 game drives. He kept us at ease at all times and made the experience one we will never forget! The facilities like the pool and food was also really amazing.

The whole team were amazing and it felt like one big family- nothing was too much!! The rangers were very knowledgeable, and communicated expertly with one another to ensure you had the best chance of sightings. The reserve has grown significantly since my last visit 14years ago and remains as beautiful as I remembered. The rooms were super comfy, with huge beds and modernised bathrooms. The pool area was lovely, overlooking the reserve with frequent wildlife visitors, making for a great refreshing dip between game drives. The food was delicious! We couldn’t fault it and can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful accommodation with wonderful staff attending to our every need. Outstanding service from a hardworking team who made us feel like Royalty. Wonderful game drives!
Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
This must be THE BEST safari lodge and wildlife experience in southern SA!
The location, the staff, the guides, the food, the overall experience was absolutely superb.
An added bonus was the open bar. A very nice touch indeed.
We were lucky enough to meet the owners, and we can see why this place is as nice as it was :-)
The Hlosi game lodge and the reserve were one of our highlights of our SA trips.
We had a lovely very spacious house and deck with 2 bathrooms with in- and outside showers.
Restaurant and deck with view to the waterhole with 2 hippos was amazing.
All game drives were breathtaking and “successful”. We saw all big five (replacing the leopard by cheetahs) plus giraffes, zebras, kudus, etc. very close. It was our best location to spot many animals.
Everything! The lodges were clean, cosy and comfortable. We had a great nights sleep. The small pool on our veranda was a real treat when the sun came out, and you can look out over the grasslands spotting antelopes and warthogs.
Food was absolutely wonderful. Staff were amazing - friendly, efficient and professional. Having spent countless days in the South African bush, this was a step above it all. To have a game ranger like Martin conducting our twice daily drives was the “cherry on the top”. His lovely attitude, enthusiasm and incredible knowledge makes the Safari Lodge a definite return location.
Everything here is incredible, you'll be blown away by the set up, the staff, the food, the safari, the rooms, the scheduling, the drinks options, it's all spot on. The reserve itself is great, so big it feels like a lot of effort to see the animals but still small enough that we saw all of the animals we could have asked to see. The guides were incredible, so helpful, chatty and accommodating and all of the time spent at the lodge is exceptional - chill/drink/eat/coffee/swim, do what you want its all there!
Everything, amazing lodge, rooms. The food was fantastic, the staff were wonderful, the safari was wow !! I saw all the animals. Had to pinch myself....they made me a beautiful cake for my birthday 🎂 Highly recommended 👌
One of many lodges in a vast safari reserve - and I mean vast. Safari drives were over three hours and we saw the big five and many many other wildlife.
The all inclusive nature of the lodge was exemplary - lovely meals (although little choice) and uniquely we were offered bottles of wine to take to our rooms.
The lodges are set in a great location and all the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The 2 safari drives per day were great with Seamus, our engaging and knowledgeable guide. Facilities and food and drink (free bar) were good. Lodges were clean and comfortable.
