River Lodge

 

The magnificent Olifants River, largest of all of the lowveld rivers flows through the northern area of Ezulwini, and it is here in the riverine forest, where this luxury lodge is located.  Two of the largest trees in South Africa, a sycamore fig (Ficus Sycamorus) with a diameter in excess of five metres and a leadwood tree (Combretum Imberbe) in excess of two metre diameter, grow in our riverine forest. This region is home to Hippos, Crocodiles, Elephants and massive Riverine Trees and is an excellent venue for the avid bird watcher.  

River Lodge has an exquisite entertainment area comprising a lounge, bar and  perfect swimming pool, all under a large thatched roof.  Relax here in welcoming deep sofas and marvel at magnificent leadwood sculptures.  The enormous wooden dining deck set in the riverine vegetation, which looks out over the Olifants River and an elevated thatched viewing deck overlooking the bush, add to the special ambience of this lodge.  Superb cuisine and skilled rangers will enhance your safari and leave you with an experience of Africa which you will remember forever. Luxury, thatched, twin bed chalets, with en-suite bathrooms, accommodating a maximum of 20 guests gives a charm that only a small camp can possess.
