The rooms were large and very comfortable. I loved how the mesh covering the windows let you leave the windows open to still enjoy the beautiful nature sounds. The facilities all around the lodge are incredible. The beautiful animals even came up to visit us some days. We feed Tuli the Tame Nyala and saw Pumbas wife with her little babies cruising around the lodge area. The staff go out of their way to make you feel like you are home and part of the family. Service and food is some of the best we have seen in the world and we are frequent travellers.

The Hluhluwe Bushcamp is the perfect place to rewind and relax, surrounded by nature and its sounds. The tents offer a lot of space, even for families. The farmstall at the pool has good meal options if you don’t want to cook yourself. With possibilities such as going for a nice walk around the property and watching Nialas from close distance, and daytrips to the Hluhluwe National Park, or hanging out by the pool, the Bushcamp is a great place to stay. The staff and owners are very nice and offer advice and recommendations, if you need any. We enjoyed our stay very much!

This was my second visit to Balaya Game Resort, and I’m thrilled to say it surpassed even my already extraordinary first trip two years ago. Having explored many places in the area, I wasn't sure if they could recreate that magic—but they not only met, they exceeded every expectation! The lodge is simply amazing, blending comfort with the raw beauty of nature. The rooms are impeccably clean, and the beds are new and incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful stay after a day of adventure. One of the standout features of Balaya is the game drives. They are truly special, offering an intimate glimpse into the wild. The passion and dedication of the rangers shine through in every drive. Their knowledge about the animals and the land, combined with genuine care for your experience, elevates each safari into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. During this visit, we even witnessed lions in their natural habitat—hunting and yes, killing. While such scenes might not be everyone’s cup of tea, for me, it was an awe-inspiring, raw demonstration of nature's realities. It's experiences like these that remind you of the wild’s unfiltered beauty and power. Overall, Balaya Game Resort delivers on every front. The friendly staff, the comfortable accommodations, and the exceptional game drives make it one of the best experiences I’ve had. I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable safari adventure!

Stayed here 4 nights and if you want to escape and get away for a few days and immerse yourself in the forest and the lakes then this is the place for you. Exceptional staff, very comfortable 'tented' and secluded accommodation, amazing sunsets, great food with intimate evening meals served in the forest around an open fire, very romantic. Enjoyed the paid boat excursion so much as we did with the included canoe and forest walk. Great guides, full of information.

We did not eat there we booked at the self-catering chalets. We would have loved to have breakfast but find R185 pp is a bit expensive. We did have a drink at the bar witch we loved as the bar lady was on the ball and so help full and friendly and to top it off, she brought us a bowl of popcorn, what a nice gesture. The property is like a little place in heaven rest for the soul. Will definitely be back, and the birding is fantastic.

Our stay in St Lucia was absolutely fantastic!

Our stay in St Lucia was absolutely fantastic! The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring the beautiful surroundings. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Everything was well-maintained, and the amenities were excellent. The only minor downside was some noise from other guests in the morning, as our room was close to the reception. However, this didn’t take away from the overall experience, which was truly memorable. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting St Lucia and can’t wait to return. Thank you for making our trip so special!

It is THE place for scuba diving in South Africa! We can only recommend it ! Beaches are empty and one can snorkel on the house reef during low tide. Pity about the state of the reserve in general as it is not maintained and one often find no running water at the showers located at the beach.

Mkuze is the best place to stay if you want to visit the Mkuze Game Reserve. We saw plenty at the two hides - herds of wildebeest, impala and nyala and plenty of birds. It's about 60 km to the Memorial Gate entrance to the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve - we got up early and got there as the gates opened to spend the day in the reserve. It's also worth driving up Jozini and taking a boat out on the dam. The hotel has a great offering of tours with their own guides.

We booked for 6 nights but left after the first night. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. The owners is misrepresenting the property. There was no ice machine. Aircon was not working. Shower is not draining the water away. Pool and entertainment area needs TLC. The unit was cockroach invested.

St Lucia is a great holiday destination.

St Lucia is a great holiday destination. Nice small village, you can walk freely at any time of the day or night. The John Dorys was fantastic. Spar and Shoprite allow you to purchase what ever you forgot at home. Traveling to Cape Vidal was epic, we saw Rhino and Hyena just passing our vehicle. Please check what time is low tide so you can better enjoy snorkeling at the reef.
