ABOUT US

Our exclusive, family run bush lodge is one of KZN’s best kept secrets! Conveniently situated approximately 40 minutes from King Shaka International Airport and 25 minutes inland of Ballito, guests can experience true comfort in the great outdoors, a stone’s throw away from civilization. 

​

We are the closest game reserve to the King Shaka airport situated in a beautiful indigenous forest, whilst being only 25 kms from the beach and shopping areas! 

 

Self drives through the stunning indigenous bush, and close encounters with a variety of wildlife and birdlife in the reserve are well worth the visit. Enjoy over 450 species of birds as well as 17 species of game including giraffe, waterbuck, kudu and nyala. Truly a photographers paradise!

WHAT TO DO

GUEST REVIEWS

"Had the best time staying here with my family. From the amazing game drive to walking in the forest with the giraffes a few meters away and the wonderful night braais and sharades around the fire. The memories we made here I will keep in my heart forever."

“An incredible and momentous time we had filled with the most exquisite bird viewing and sightings of the wide range of wildlife. We enjoyed relaxing on the beautifully designed decks sitting in the boma and out cycling in the breathtaking valleys following the contours of the natural habitat. Home away from home! So much beauty in a place that can be closely described as Heaven on Earth. The units and communal area beautifully decorated , what a TREAT! Cannot wait to bring the rest of the family here to share in all its glory! Thanks so much.”

“Rob and Les, this spot is unreal! Walking into the herd of giraffe below the lodge was a highlight as well as catching sight of the Narina Trogan. Birds and animals were plenty, and our drives were exciting! So tranquil here.Thank you”
