Unique experience...
We stayed a both lodges : Billy's and River lodges. Both are very different and have their own character. Staff friendliness is a must, games drives are exciting, bush walks are an experience (we even had the experience to face a lion during one of them.... it is something...) Food was ok, but menus could be improved and diversified. We were a bit disappointed with the Christmas diner (chicken breasts and pap....).
Response from Lodge : New chef has arrived - working hard at upgrading menues

Great camp in a real wild surrounding
We stayed at the River lodge and we felt at home. The rondavels were furnished very stylishly and cosy. The only thing that was not perfect was the food, which was of good quality but rather basic - here I hope they will offer something more adequate to this nearly luxury camp - and we missed some hammocks which would fit perfectly in the surrounding.

Food was great

Ezulwini Game Lodges are situated in the Greater Kruger National Park, Balule Nature Reserve. We offer two game drives per day, where you go deep into the heart of the African bush where our guide will track and show you African wildlife upclose.
Description
Ezulwini Game Lodges are situated in
the centre of the Greater Kruger National Park, Balule Nature Reserve
section, which is approximately 17 kilometres from Hoedspruit making it
easily accessible from both Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa. It is approximately 5
hours drive from Johannesburg. We are situated in a very low
risk malaria area and have never had a case of malaria at our
lodges. Ezulwini, the Zulu word for 'Place
of Paradise', where Africa remains unspoiled.
The emphasis at our Lodges is on friendliness and informality. Our staff are
well trained and professional to ensure your stay is even more memorable.
Ezulwini prides itself on being able to offer an exceptional African setting,
indigenous fauna and flora as well as unique character and charm, to provide you
with an authentic, African experience.
All lodge rooms have new silent climate control air conditioning and
heating facilities, mini bars and elegant mosquito nets. Please note that
check-in time is 14:00 and check-out time is 11:00. Please make prior
arrangements should you require alternate times. The magnificent Olifants River,
largest of all of the lowveld rivers flows through the northern area of
Ezulwini, and it is here in the riverine forest, where this luxury lodge is located. Two of the largest trees in South
Africa, a sycamore fig (Ficus Sycamorus) with a diameter in excess of five
metres and a leadwood tree (Combretum Imberbe) in excess of two metre diameter,
grow in our riverine forest. This region is home to Hippos, Crocodiles,
Elephants and massive Riverine Trees and is an excellent
venue for the avid bird watcher.
River Lodge has an exquisite entertainment area comprising a lounge,
bar and swimming pool, all under a large thatched roof. Relax here in welcoming
deep sofas and marvel at magnificent leadwood sculptures. The enormous wooden
dining deck set in the riverine vegetation, which looks out over the Olifants
River and an elevated thatched viewing deck overlooking the bush, add to the
special ambiance of this lodge. Superb cuisine and skilled rangers will enhance
your safari and leave you with an experience of Africa which you will remember
forever. Luxury, thatched, twin bed chalets, with en-suite bathrooms,
accommodating a maximum of 14 guests gives a charm that only a small camp can possess.
The rooms which
were built in the 1940's have been beautifully restored and furnished with
antiques from that period and have 220V, 50Hz electrical supply, potable drinking
water, Insect-proof window screens,
elegant mosquito nets,
overhead fans, new, silent air-conditioners,
tea and coffee making facility.
