Khaya Ndhlovu the gem πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 19 Nov 2023via mobile
A warm, homely atmosphere filled with beautiful artwork greets you when you walk in to Khaya Ndlovu.
The view from the deck is Africa at it's best. Compliments to the chef for 5 star dining.
The best part is the Manager Vandi. Great sense of humour and hands on approach would make us come back.
Trevor the owner's involvement and sharing of information made it a truly remarkable experience.
We will be back

As always, the food, drinks and service were excellent.
The wooden deck with the view of the Drakensberg Mountains is fantastic and the game drives always deliver.
And ... after a wonderful day at Khaya Ndlovu, a blissful bed awaits you in your luxurious room.

Khaya does not disappoint on any level. Visited with my niece and went on the most amazing game drive. Her eyes were on stalks as we were treated to one amazing sighting after another. The skills and knowledge of our guide and tracker were second to none. She returns to the UK, a very happy girl, with her new found facts of the Big, the Small and the Ugly 5!!!! Sundowners were particularly special as we saw the sun dip down behind the mountains as we enjoyed our respective cokes and G&T's whilst located next to a small watering hole. The resident hippo was kind enough to wait until we finished before exiting the water to graze. My niece will enjoy looking at the many hundreds of photos that were taken of a truly magical few hours in the bush.
Our day had earlier started with the best breakfast. Huge choice from the buffet of cereals, fruits, cheese and pastries followed by a freshly cooked option of smoked trout with poached eggs on a rosti. It more than set us up for our day as we prepared for the game drive with relaxation for a few hours around the pool and stunning sky deck. Strawberry daiquiris were taken whilst we watched game come and go at the watering hole that the lodge overlooks. This really is a special view and not to be missed.
My niece was treated like a Princess by all she met ay Khaya. Thank you for giving her memories that she will never forget.

Room tip: Don't miss sun down on the sky deck. Simply stunning views from a special vantage point.

This lodge is really nice and the view from the restaurant and the swimming pool is amaising.
All the team is focused on customer satisfaction and our journey was perfect.
They have organize a bush walk, a day in Kruger park and a game drive in the reserve. All went very well and their guides are knowledgable.
Last but not least, the price is really competitive.

All the staff and the managers here are warm and friendly. They are knowledgeable and attentive. Bush babies in the rafters!
Game drive surreal and intimate. Guide genuinely respectful of the environment and deeply knowledgeable about the animals that inhabited it. A very moving experience.
Really excellent πŸ‘ 5 fat stars!
