You will be sure to have a magnificent stay here. Extremely comfortable and very private. Very nice staff and, especially, a highly skilled game driver named Lubela who managed to make every game drive better than the previous. But also a very ”family atmosphere” in the lodge. All meals and drinks are included with nice food served every day. Induli lodge was opened in 2024 and is nicely renovated/decorated with many attention to details. Matt, the owner was very attentive and fulfilled your requests for any specific liquor etc. that you felt was missing.

This was an amazing experience. We went on 2 games drives a day and each time we saw new scenes! Not only the big 5 but all the other animals going about their business (buck, jackals, meerkats, zebras). Our safari guide (Abby) was very knowledgeable and also very entertaining. The room was spacious, the lodge was cosy and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful.

Beautiful lodge with stunning private Villas with an incredible outdoor pool overlooking the scenery. Hopewell is very intimate and private. Etienne and his team made us feel very welcomed and our game drives were super special and adventurous. No rush, no fixed times, no big groupes, very individual and special. We would love to come back one day!

The staff are brilliant. The food is amazing. The accommodation is beautiful. The private game reserve felt special, as if we had it to ourselves during our excursions. I had very high expectations based on the price and the whole experience met these. Everything was catered for effortlessly.

What an amazing place- they upgraded our accommodation before we arrived as marks camp is more family friendly. We stayed at treetops which was so amazing- our room was gorgeous and the staff so friendly and attentive. M bAli and her team looked after us beautifully and Sivi our ranger was the best- we really lucked out- so knowledgable about the animals- an amazing experience.

This must be THE BEST safari lodge and wildlife experience in southern SA! The location, the staff, the guides, the food, the overall experience was absolutely superb. An added bonus was the open bar. A very nice touch indeed. We were lucky enough to meet the owners, and we can see why this place is as nice as it was :-)

The Hlosi game lodge and the reserve were one of our highlights of our SA trips. We had a lovely very spacious house and deck with 2 bathrooms with in- and outside showers. Restaurant and deck with view to the waterhole with 2 hippos was amazing. All game drives were breathtaking and “successful”. We saw all big five (replacing the leopard by cheetahs) plus giraffes, zebras, kudus, etc. very close. It was our best location to spot many animals.

One of many lodges in a vast safari reserve - and I mean vast. Safari drives were over three hours and we saw the big five and many many other wildlife. The all inclusive nature of the lodge was exemplary - lovely meals (although little choice) and uniquely we were offered bottles of wine to take to our rooms.

The lodges are set in a great location and all the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The 2 safari drives per day were great with Seamus, our engaging and knowledgeable guide. Facilities and food and drink (free bar) were good. Lodges were clean and comfortable.
