Khaya Ndlovu Safari Manor

From the moment we arrived at the hotel, we knew we had NOTHING to worry about. Advise greeted us and took care of all our cases and worries. We had a lovely welcome drink on arrival and she personally sat us down and went through our plans and sorted everything out and all our loose ends that we had. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we experienced EVERYTHING that we wanted. She even booked us a private transfer for a tour we booked ourselves that didn’t include a transfer when booking. Everything was truly taken care of and we felt so at ease from the moment we arrived. She noted down our early mornings to ensure we had a lovely breakfast pack prepared when we would be leaving before breakfast. I could not fault the staff at the lodge or Advise even if I tried. I couldn’t possibly write a review and leave out the incredible breathtaking views that the lodge provides. The drakensburg mountains were stunning from the reception area/infinity pool and we saw SO many animals at the watering hole during our time relaxing including Giraffe, Warthogs, Wildebeast, baboons, antelope and more! It was just breath taking and the food was all also delicious. They even provided for my mum who is a vegan and made sure she had plenty even at the Boma when most things were BBQ’d on the fire.

Words can't describe how much i loved staying here! Not only is the surrounding landscape breathtaking, the game drives (thanks to Ilse&Renneck/ Terrance&Harry) incredible, and the manor itself beautifully furnished. The staff itself has been so kind, helpful and funny. They were always up for a chat, made me feel very relaxed and being in good hands. When i was the only guest one day, they put my dinner table right at the infinity pool, with the best view of Drakensberg. The chef made the most delicious meals! They made sure to call me, when the rare African wilddogs came to the water hole. Spa was incredible as well! They, also, kindly organized a day trip to close by Kruger Nationalpark for me. I will always cherish these memories. It was a dream come true. Thank you again for this memorable holiday!!

The service was excellent. The staff is friendly, and it even feels like family. They also constantly ensure our needs are met. The game drive was the best ever. I had a few in my lifetime, but our ranger Sammy just went the extra mile. The food was excellent and service even better. Our room was neat and prepared for us for the evening with down lighting. I can recommend this lodge and will definitely visit them again.

Everything! Let’s just start with the view…enough said! Facilities were just so comfortable and a next level of luxury and enjoyment! We didn’t want to leave the pool area, sitting there with a drink in hand overlooking a busy water hole with the beautiful mountains in the background is just incredible. And all credit to the staff who were just so incredible and so accommodating and friendly, we were treated like friends and made to feel at home than just guests. Just wonderful people to talk to and interact with. Well done everyone! You guys were all amazing!

What a Wonderful experience, we loved every minute. Beautiful lodge with an amazing view. Customer service was 10/10, amazing staff they couldn’t do enough for us from the beginning to the end. Food was superb and the best bit was of course the safari, we seen so many animals and so close which in some places you don’t get this experience.
