Explore the Wild: Discover the Beauty of the Kruger National Park
Mdluli Safari Lodge is the story of one man’s vision for the land, and for the Mdluli people. Today this land is significant for many reasons.
We invite you to be part of our story – a tale of the wonder and beauty of the Kruger National Park, the authentic charm of Siswati tradition, and a deep-rooted commitment to conservation.
The lodge is located inside the south-western region of the Kruger National Park. Numbi is the closest access gate, however, many guests prefer to enjoy a scenic game drive en route to the lodge and enter through the Park through nearby Phabeni, Kruger or Malelane gates.
It is a privilege to wake up to the sweeping vistas of the Kruger National Park. There aren’t many other places on Earth more captivating.
Whether you’re looking to spend all day at the pool for some much needed relaxation, or are the first-at-gate Kruger-devotee, we have it all on offer for you.
Sometimes the best sightings happen on bush walks or drives. Other times, you don’t even need to leave the lodge to catch some incredible sightings. That’s the beauty of Kruger – each day is your own adventure
With oversized patios and views into the Park, your elevated tent is both spacious and indulgent.
Your tent, and each area of the lodge, is designed to create a feeling of being connected to nature, whether you are indoors or outdoors. The careful curation of raw timbers with canvas textures and an interior palette inspired by the surrounding natural environment, give the lodge a true safari feel.
The deck, coffee bar, restaurant, boma and infinity swimming pool are all cleverly positioned through their open architecture and proximity to the lodge’s fence line to allow you to find a quiet space to take in the views, while a herd of elephant or buffalo amble past.
There is no better place for relaxation in the heart of the African bush.
Experience Kruger however you choose – whether you prefer to venture out in your own car, join us on a morning bush walk, or embrace its beauty from the comfort of one of our raised vehicles with our experienced guides.
Guided bush walks are an incredible way to immerse yourself into the wild, and to experience the bush in the most up close and personal way. Feel free to engage with our experienced guides, they are sure to keep you entertained with exceptional knowledge on the Kruger Park as well as stories about their past experiences, all whilst tracking magnificent animals on foot. Please note: Bush walks need to be booked through our reservations team in advance.
No game drive is complete without taking time to slow down and celebrate the environment you’re in – stopping in the middle of the Park for coffee in the morning, or sundowners in the evening.
Muffins, rusks and warm drinks are offered in the restaurant before the early morning game activity.
Experience an unforgettable dinner in the middle of the bush.
We will drive you in one of our open game vehicles to the Mdluli Dam, where you can enjoy dinner around the fire, in the middle of the bush, under the open African sky. Our experienced guides will accompany you, keeping you safe as you experience nature’s most magnificent dining setting. *Note: Minimum of 10 people required for a bush braai dinner. Please enquire ahead of your stay.
Choose one of our premium Amani spa treatments for yourself, or book as a couple. Relax and get pampered in the comfort and privacy of your luxury tent – either inside, or on your patio.
