Khaya Ndlovu Safari Manor

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of our tour. We will always remember walking into the restaurant and the amazing view of the watering hole beside the property which is almost constantly attended by animals. The staff across the board could not do enough for guests and the food was good - although a little more variety of the lunch menu would be better but we only ate lunch 3 days so it may have changed after but this in no way detracted from anything about this amazing place. The game drives were excellent as were our driver guide & spotter. They couldn’t do enough to find animals to show you and we got sooooo close. Their knowledge and stories were good as well. The only thing we didn’t see was a leopard but one had been killed by lions the week before. Amazing lodge thoroughly recommended

Khaya Ndlovu is worth every single cent. I've been to Hoedspruit a couple of times, and this was one for the books. If you're looking for a quiet *5-star* experience, this is your best bet. Got to see 5 of the Big Five - the food at the BOMA was great. Everything about the experience was to die for. Highly recommend Khaya Ndlovu.

We stayed for 3 nights in the safari tent nearby the drinking area for the animals. The game drives (we had 5) were excellent, the driver (Sammy) made a real effort to spot different animals. The overall experience of our stay has been excellent. We specifically liked the personal touch of the team. The set up of the Lodge is fantastic and nicely located so you can feel the connection with the wild life. June '25 Mart & Marije

We visited Khaya Ndlovu for a game drive and dinner with family. We have done this many times in the past and always try to make a visit whenever we are in the Hoedspruit area. The setting of the Manor House is exquisite, with the most amazing view across the bush to the Drakensburg Mountains. There is a classy touch of colonial comfort and style about Khaya, but it still manages to embody a relaxing, friendly and uniquely special quality. The game drive on this occasion was excellent, with a great guide and tracker. We saw cheetah, elephant, rhino, and a pride of six lion in addition to many species of plains game. The food was equally good, with attentive and friendly service, and once again we left having been crafted a wonderful family memory.

Beautiful manor house with lush gardens overlooking a water hole where you can just observe giraffes, impalas, and many other animals at anytime during the day. Among the best boutique hotels we’ve been, the personalized service and attention of the staff, especially Truth, Advice, Jabu & Raymond was incredible. All meals were wonderful and house wine selection“Tokara” was very nice. A small point of improvement, having a wine & cocktail menu would help know the full list of options and price range available. Leadwood suite was very spacious, comfortable, well appointed, and gave a real sense of place. WiFi was a bit patchy and there’s no TV in room but we were not there for that! We could hear the freight trains passing day and night but wasn’t a major distraction. This is perhaps the cost of convenience, the lodge is 10 min away from both the main town and airport of Hoedspruit - a plus for those with limited time. Cici at the spa took great care of us for massages and facial treatments. Beautiful secluded spot overlooking the Savanah and nice products. Game drives were exceptional, we saw cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, lions.. it’s worth doing as many game drives you can with Khaya Ndlovu; Elsa, Harry and Terence were really good at replying to all our questions and explaining all aspects of the unique ecosystem. Point of improvement: external groups coming for game drives could be kept away from the pool and deck area - as their arrival/departure disrupted the tranquility and sense of privacy. We would certainly recommend to others and look forward to coming back!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the experience at this manor was magnificent. The staff are super friendly, the rooms super comfortable, the pool and view over the Veldt incredible, and the game drives fantastic. Will definitely be staying here again!
