Ezulwini River Lodge

Explore the Wild: Discover the Beauty of the Kruger National Park

Overview

Ezulwini River Lodge, sister to Billy’s Lodge, combines romance and adventure with luxury suites and private plunge pools, which overlook the hippo-filled Olifants River. Game drives introduce guests to the plethora of species found in this exclusive Greater Kruger Reserve, while River Lodge’s multiple relaxation areas offer views of the surrounding reserve. Twice daily game drives and 3 scrumptious meals a day allow just enough time for guests to settle down in their exquisite bedrooms for a peaceful moment, and absorb the ambience of the Balule bushveld.

What to Expect

Ezulwini Game Lodges are located in the Big 5 Balule Nature Reserve in a pristine region of Limpopo Province, offering a top class Kruger safari. Reasons for visiting lie in the appeal of the natural surrounds, the expert owner-management, and the seamless knowledge and experience of the guides. The location of the reserve means that it shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park, but without public thoroughfare, making it a little piece of private Kruger heaven.

Private plunge pools and decks with sun loungers keep things exclusive, while open-plan en suite bathrooms have bathtubs, plus indoor and outdoor showers. Minibars, tea and coffee, and air-conditioning complete the luxurious look.

Big 5 Game Drives

One of the main features of a safari is a 4×4 game drive. On game drives you are able to get a lot closer to big game than on a self-drive safari, as you are guided by experienced rangers and in appropriate vehicles. The animals are generally habituated to the vehicle. This enables to you to get within 5 to 10 metres of the large animals – and safely!

All game drives are conducted in open 4 x 4 Land Rovers; which are perfect for photographic and video opportunities. The afternoon game drives generally leave at 16:00 and include late afternoon game spotting, a sundowner stop and a game drive that continues into the night.

Sundowners in the bush

Every game drive includes a leg-stretch at sunset, at which point, guides unpack a cooler box containing refreshments and snacks. A safari tradition known as ‘sundowners’ is an opportunity to set foot on the African soil and admire the surrounding bush as the sun sets, while sipping on an ice-cold G n T!
