We found Bulembu in 2012 whilst exploring a different route home from Swaziland to Johannesburg and were fascinated by this place. Two weeks ago, we took the same route with friends from Australia and stopped to walk through the museum. Really interesting. This little town has come to life since being abandoned when the asbestos mine closed and is now... More

Bulembu is an interesting story - abandoned when the asbestos mine closed, the town was reestablished as a project to house Swaziland orphans. 350 are currently there. The lodge was the mine manager's quarters.A beautiful spot, excellent food, an interesting area to walk around and friendly personnel. A bit off the beaten track but well worth the visit.

Bulembu is a special place with special people. The staff and service at the lodge went over and beyond my expectations. The food was excellent night after night. The mission of Bulembu is worth the trip. It's truly an awe inspiring place and vision.

What a wonderful place, You don’t expect much when you volunteer to help those less fortunate, but here, you are truly looked after. This is a project that everyone should see. A whole town dedicated to providing employment in a country with rampant unemployment to generate sufficient income to support an orphanage like you have never seen, again in a... More

Bulembu Country Lodge is a great mid-range property in the mountains of Swaziland. The staff are very service oriented, catering to your every need. The food is tasty. The lodge is a colonial house built in the 30's for the GM of the near by Mine. It needs some small renovations but offers a clean and restful sleep. Stay here,... More

Bulembu Country Lodge is located in the small, half abandoned mining town of Bulembu in Swaziland. The most ideal point of entry is from the South African side, as the road to Bulembu is tarred there. Comming from Piggs Peak you may encounter trouble if it has been too much rain. Once youre done with the horrible road getting there... More

I spent several days at the Bulembu Lodge, and it was great. If you're looking for posh, you're at the wrong spot. But if you are looking for clean, comfortable lodging at a great price in a great environment, you've come to the right place. The food was great (beyond my expectations), and the staff was most helpful. The roads... More
