Featuring mountain views, Isambane Camp in Balule Game Reserve features accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. The staff is absolutely amazing! Shayna, Emma and Angela were great hosts and guides, the staff was awesome and the Chef is GREAT! Safe and delicious place for vegans! The game drives were very nice and fun, the girls know their bush! We got to see the big five in only 2 days. The cabin was nice and cozy, even though it gets pretty hot during the day (at night it becomes bearable with the fan on). Good hot shower! The elephants in the pool are breathtaking and the highlight of this amazing place.

Offering an outdoor pool and a veranda with views of the Northern Drakensbergs, Mbizi Bush Lodge is a small lodge nestled in the Grietjie Game Reserve. Free WiFi access is available,

Mbizi Bush Lodge serves a 3-course dinner and a full breakfast. Guests can relax on the terrace. Other facilities offered at the property include a shared lounge. The property offers free parking. The lodge was amazing , far exceeded our expectation. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like family by Bjorn , Divya and their two adorable little boys who seemed to know more about animals than I thought humanly possible . Divya is an amazing cook , going to great lengths to ensure that each meal was a culinary experience. Her passion for food is contagious, and I can honestly say I’ve never eaten so well. Bjorn’s passion , dedication and knowledge for the wildlife of Grietjie was always evident, not only during each game drive , but also during the long conversations he shared with myself and my granddaughter. My granddaughter and myself spent 2 weeks at Mbizi, each day brought a new adventure, from Elephants visiting to drink from the pool , to giraffes wandering over to the lodge to just hanging out , to emergency treatment of a baby elephant that had been injured in poachers snare which unfolded before our eyes. Divya and Bjorne went over and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable , they even invited us to join them for Mother’s Day Lunch . There are no words to express our gratitude, thank you Divya, Bjorn , Noah and our little wild child Luca.

The airy lodges at the Motswari Private Game Reserve feature thatched roofs, each equipped with air conditioning and unrivalled savannah views from large wooden decks. They combine traditional décor with a designer touch and include a lounge and bathrooms with bathtub. Every single part of our stay was 10/10 The game drives you are taken on are amazing - we saw the big 5 in the first 3 drives. Joshua, our ranger and Difference, our tracker were superb at their jobs; super relaxed and highly skilled at what they do. The food is out of this world! The staff are extremely nice and accommodating of any request but they are not too ‘in your face’ either - they allow you to make what ever you like of your stay. Elizabeth and Thambi and their team do such amazing work with fresh and local produce - every meal was an experience to remember! Jan is one of the waiters and bar men - he was so kind and friendly in his engagements with us, making us feel welcome and give us an insight into life in the area. He chatted freely about his life and asked about our lives. Getting to know him and the other staff was a real bonus of the trip. You come as a tourist and leave as a friend.
