Wow, unforgettable experience. An absolute must

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Mar 2024
Wow, a truly unforgettable experience. Incredible surroundings, wonderful hosts and super attentive staff. The room was stunning too with a beautiful bed, a stylish bathroom and a very lovely outside shower. You must do a game drive if you have the chance. It was as beautiful as it was emotionally connecting for us both.

To all the lovely and brilliant staff of Khaya Ndlovu Safari Manor.

As always - you succeeded to take our breath away with your warm and kind hospitality, beautiful and clean rooms, restaurant, spa, pool and entertainment area. Food is excellent and game drives are brilliant as well.

This was our second visit to your beautiful home as we can not get enough. We had such a great time and learned so much from your well educated staff and guides. We were spoiled by viewing the big 5, learning different types of trees and birds (those small things, are the big things that count). Thank you so much for having us. To Gareth, Rinnick, Farren, Simone, Vandi, Tenish, Nico, Truth, Surprise, Chef Princess and all the other beautiful and kind staff. Thank you for always making us feel special and thank you for being so kind. You are always willing to assist and have such beautiful hearts.

We will definitely be returning.

Your lodge is so beautiful and we always feel at home. Thank you Khaya Ndlovu.

Kindest regards

Jacques and Kiely

Room tip: I can highly recommend ALL of the rooms. Every single room is beautiful.

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.

Best value of money EVER! Very friendly staff and management! Real family feeling ! Amazing view at the mountains! Quality of food is also super. Tent experience is also astonishing in the middle of the bush.

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.
