Billy's Lodge

This private Safari Lodge is located on the banks of a seasonal river, surrounded by the resident lion pride, plains game, large knobthorn, leadwood and marula trees in the western savannah region of Ezulwini. After a devastating fire in May, the lodge has been totally rebuilt, setting new standards in design and luxury. The organic African architecture incorporates massive leadwood supports, dark earth plaster and high pitched thatched roofs. The lodge has alot of character and features gorgeous lounge areas, dining rooms and decks, sumptuous leather armchairs and exquisite leadwood sculptures. All sleeper wood furniture, doors and windows, as well as comfortable leather couches, were custom made. In the commitment to, and pursuit of, excellence, Billy's Lodge has become one of the finest lodges in the world, embracing first world comforts, yet retaining a cozy atmosphere with the rich colours and textures of the warm African bushveld. Billy's Lodge also boasts the "finest wine cellar in Africa" set against the natural rock face and resembling an ancient Bushman cave. Superb chefs and rangers will ensure you enjoy the ultimate getaway. This charming, most exclusive lodge offers 4 completely private and spacious, luxury suites, with lounge, mini-bar and dining area, super king-size bed, en-suite bath, indoor and outdoor shower, private plunge pool and deck that has unspoiled and open views of the surrounding bush. We also have 2 thatched, twin or king bed chalets with en suite bathrooms. Billy's Lodge accommodates a maximum of 12 guests, which guarantees tranquility and exclusivity. The accommodation is modern, yet traditionally African.

ACTIVITIES

The day typically begins with an early morning game drive, in search of Africa's exciting fauna, followed by a sumptuous breakfast on the deck. You can then go on a ranger-guided walk through the bush and learn about game tracks and all of the little creatures. Discover how the local people use trees to make toothbrushes and toothpaste, tea and coffee, poultices, etc. Alternatively relax on a cosy leather couch, enjoying the animals at the water, and the ever present bird life in one of the top birding areas in South Africa.
