15. Emdoneni Lodge

Hluhluwe

"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do. Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you will need to eat dinner at the lodge. The foods is quite plain with not much choice. Also be aware that the rooms have no TVs. I would recommend the Lodge for its position and the attentive staff."

Rhino Sands Safari Camp

10/10 Excellent

"Rhino Sands Safari Camp was simply the best safari experience we have ever had and we have been to many safari camps over the past 30 years. There are no negatives here, praise all round to the fantastic staff, the wonderful food and amenities and the most beautiful game reserve we have ever been to. We were delighted to meet the owners of the safari camp, a lovely family who we could clearly see, have a tremendous love for conservation and this is reflected throughout this beautiful camp as you take in the many meticulous details that no doubt went into creating this stunning ecofriendly camp.... indeed a dream come to life and a privilege for us to be a part of, so much so, that we cannot wait to return to this amazing camp in the near future."

Thanda Safari

8/10 Good

"It was an excellent safari place. There were one waitress that needs to be kinder and more helpful. Food quality (beef cuts) should improve too. The lamb was full of nerves and fat. Rooms were beatiful. Game drives amazing."

Duiker Game Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great venue and staff"

The Wilds Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for family peace and quiet. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The place is 5 Star in my books"

Ezulwini Game Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We cannot say enough good things about Ezulwini! Gorgeous views, comfortable accommodation, amazing food, friendly staff - it was just top notch, thank you!"

Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Staff members were full of hospitality, the main area is spectacular and cozy. Three hours driving tour through the game reserve was fun, but since there are two driving tours per day, it’d be nicer if there are shorter hours options well because three hours driving can get tiring."

Ama Zulu Guesthouse and Safaris

8/10 Good

"Very good, cozy and comfortable"

Malkoha Lake St. Lucia

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful and I loved the boardwalks through the forest. The staff was very helpful, professional, and friendly - they went out of their way to accommodate me as a vegetarian and the chef made a delicious curry even though it wasn't on the menu. Thank you for the lovely stay!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kwanompondo?

The best area to stay in Kwanompondo is the central district around the Kwanompondo Plaza, as it offers the most convenience and access to amenities.This central area is the commercial and social heart of Kwanompondo. It features Kwanompondo Plaza, a multi-story shopping center, and is surrounded by banks, restaurants, and local businesses. The main thoroughfare, Chief Albert Luthuli Street, runs through this district, making navigation straightforward. This area is ideal for business travelers due to its proximity to key offices and services.For couples seeking a more relaxed experience but still close to amenities, the area slightly north of the Kwanompondo Plaza, towards the St. Francis Hospital, is a good option.
