Khaya Ndlovu Safari Manor

We had the best 3 nights at Khaya Ndlovu! The staff were amazing - the chef, lodge team, and cleaner all went above and beyond. Our guides Aggie and Vusi were fantastic, finding the Big 5 and making every drive fun. Stunning views of the watering hole with new wildlife every day. Couldn’t fault a thing - 5 stars from our family!

I have been to many lodges in Africa and this was a very special place. It’s is elegant but still with a nice wild feel to it. The reserve and view is stunning. Excellent guides, wonderful staff. You feel so welcome and at home. I will go back again for sure.

We held our wedding at Khaya Ndlovu and it could not have gone better. Kirst and Emma for phenomenal in working with us to help bring our ideas to life, working tirelessly to make sure that everything went smoothly and working closely with DROOM who we brought in to help with decoration and for coordinating on the day (Anelle and her team were excellent as well!). The wedding party stayed at Khaya (we booked out the whole place for and had 23 people staying). The rooms were lovely - very comfortable, full of charm and very clean. The staff were incredibly friendly, and we were touched by Lily writing a congratulations message on our bed in confetti on the wedding night. Our ceremony was out in the bush under the marula tree that Sammy (one of the guides) had shown us. The team, along with the DROOM, really dressed up the area beautifully for the cermony. Kirst organised 4 game vehicles to ferry the guests to and from the location. The food throughout our stay was exceptional. The eggs benedict was incredible and perfect for sore heads. The food on the night was exceptional, including some of the most perfectly cooked steak. The staff helping with the serving were exceptional, bringing so much joy to the occassion - special shout out to Selby's dance moves! I could go on and on about how incredible our experience was, but I'll just finish with a huge thank you to Kirst, Emma and the rest of the team for everything. We had the best time which surpassed all expectations. We will definitely be back next time we are passing through Hoedspruit!

Our transfer was on time so that was a good start. A short drive from the airport and from the moment you're climbing off the vehicle, Advice is there with a huge smile shaking hands, and making it feel like you're returning home, even if you've never been there before! We stayed in one of the tents, which had a lovely view and all the amenities that you could need. The lodge itself is sublime. Comfortable seating on a deeply shaded deck around a beautiful swimming pool, with a steady supply of drinks and good food. The actual dining deck is next level, with an amazing view over a waterhole and frequent parades of wild animals! We had 3 dinners during our stay and the food was excellent throughout. The game drives are good with friendly guides, and every chance of spotting 4 out of the big 5 on almost every drive. We were really sad to leave, and absolutely will return again! Thanks for a lovely stay Team Khaya Ndlovu!

Friendly staff, amazing location with a really nice view. Beautiful lobby. Bedrooms maybe should need to be a bit retrofited ..

I didn't stay here but did a sunrise game drive with the amazing Terrence. Arriving at 5am in the pitch dark and seeing sunrise from the jeep was stunning. But the rest of the drive was even better. In 3 hours we saw sooo much it was staggering. Giraffe, zebra, rhino, cheetah, lions etc. and all before work! Terrence is an amazing guide and this trip is unbelievably good value. I did a couple of game drives while in Hoedspruit and this one is far and away the best. Don't think about it, just book
