I haven't many words to describe this perfection, we stayed in the luxury tented camps whilst my parents stayed at the lodge. Our every whim and desire was catered to. We had spit braais and drinks in the evenings with the majestic roars of lions in the background. Absolutely breathtaking. From the rooms, to the food, to the carcass at... More

We have been fortunate to travel to many parts of the world but have to say that this holiday was absolutely fabulous from the moment we left Durban to drive to Mkuze. The only drawback was our initial meeting at reception, but once she left us at our rooms - everything was perfect from that moment forward. The rooms are... More

We were so lucky - it was low season and we were the only guests so we had the entire lodge and staff to ourselves. Game drives were excellent, we saw so much and we were taken on a walk as well. The rangers were knowledgable about the birds and trees as well as the animals and made every effort... More

We had such a wonderful time here. The service was more than 5 star, the best we have ever received anywhere, with attention to every detail. We were in Chalet 5, and it was so beautifully decorated and clean with privacy and a wonderful view of the falls. The entire lodge was clean and decorated so well with attention to... More

We had a most enjoyable time here. The whole site is well run - excellent game drives with skilled and responsive guide and tracker who know the huge reserve intimately and make every effort to satisfy their guests, good and comfortable accommodation, and a restaurant/bar amongst the best we have experienced on game reserves. Great all round.

For our 4th trip back to SA we added Mkuze Falls to our itinerary. I blanched a bit at the price, its not cheap but the combination of the big 5 and the views from the rooms over the falls won me over. Was it a mistake? No! From the minute you park the car the place is quality. The... More

I'm really surprised at the one or two negative reviews that I've just seen as Mkuze Falls Lodge was in my view the most fantastic experience I've had on any holiday. Having been to a number of game reserves in the past (when we lived in SA) , I expected to see the odd lion in the distance, lots of... More

Our South African son in law booked our trip. There were eight of us (all seasoned travellers) and we all agree that this was the best holiday/trip that we have ever had. My wife and I like some luxury in our accommodation and we love good service. We certantly got both at Mkuze. The game drives were so exciting and... More
