We had an amazing experience at this game lodge and it was one of the highlights on our trip. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The food was excellent and had great options to choose from. Our game drives were superb and we saw so many animals. The game driver was knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure that we had a great experience. The room itself was fabulous and the view from your balcony was great - we could even see quite a few animals from it too. Highly recommend!

Ingrid made our stay absolutely perfect!! We were greeted by zebras and ostrich as soon as we entered the grounds - already quite the experience! Our room had amazing views and was very comfortable and clean. We had dinner on the property our first night which was one of our favorite meals of the trip! We did the Addo park, Schotia Safari and a Giraffe walk all by recommendations from Ingrid and we had the perfect trip.

Everything was simply fantastic into the smallest detail.
The day was well organized with 2 daily drives, a fabulous brunch, lunch, and dinner, time to relax at the pool, lounge areas, or your fabulous room which was spacious and comfortable and had a beautiful view of the hills, the staff was very friendly and pampered us. The ranger on the drive was very knowledgeable. Every drive was a little different and we saw the Big Five, up close, and many other animals like zebra, giraffe, impala, hippo, hyena, warthog, …. It was a stay we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you!
Set between 2 streams in a lush bush land, this 5-star lodge is located within the Lalibela Game Reserve. It offers secluded suites with private heated plunge pools and terraces.
Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation 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.
