This place is amazing! If you booked no tours and just stayed here, you would still feel like you’ve been on safari in Africa. We had breakfast with monkeys every morning. Baboons, warthogs and mongoose wander freely around the lodges and you can see all sorts of animals wander to the waterhole, including elephants, while having your meals at the Baffalo Bar.
The staff make you feel at home and cannot do enough to make you feel comfortable. Room service comes to clean and make your beds every day and everyone is welcoming. Meals are available from 3 on-site restaurants. There is a day spa and swimming pools. Don’t forget to see the free daily Vulture Culture feeding experience and to go to the Boma drumming dinner experience at least once during your stay.
We stayed for 8 nights and we would have loved to stay longer. It is a very special place. Don’t forget to look up ‘Pack For a Purpose’ before you leave as Lokuthula Lodges supports 2 local programs: Local Schools and Antipoaching. We found this just before we left and it’s a really nice way to give back to this beautiful part of the world.
