Ezulwini River Lodge

Overview

Cradled on the banks of the great Olifants River, beneath towering fig and mahogany trees lies Ezulwini River Lodge. Ezulwini, meaning ā€˜place of paradise’, remains true to its name in the secretive construction of River Lodge, which is a bird-lovers utopia, and a wildlife wonderland for all of the bushveld’s beasts.

The great leafy branches of the riverine forest drape over the viewing deck providing shade and quiet for lazy afternoons at River Lodge. The outdoor lounge, swimming pool and inviting bar area are equipped for comfort, while nighttime lanterns turn the place into bush dining bliss. There are four well-appointed superior suites and four luxury suites, each offering something unique in terms of safari accommodation.

Big tusker elephants of the Kruger Park come to feed on the trees in the riverbed, while resident lions can be heard calling into the night. En-suite bedroom rondavels are topped with thatch and joined via wooden and concrete pathways, keeping to the authentic feel of the lodge.

The reserve is about a 45 minute drive from Hoedspruit – the safari capital of Limpopo.

Guests at River Lodge can access the lodge via self-drive or road transfer after flying to Eastgate airport in Hoedspruit.

The drive from Eastgate airport to River Lodge is about 1 hour in duration along the well-travelled R40. Guests will enter the reserve through the Olifants West gate and drive a short distance through the reserve to the lodge.
