LOCATION

Esiweni Lodge offers luxury game lodge accommodation in KwaZulu-Natal, in the malaria-free Big Five Nambiti Game Reserve, near Ladysmith.

ABOUT ESIWENI LODGE

Esiweni Lodge is situated in the malaria-free, Big 5 wildlife and nature conservancy in the 20 000 acre Nambiti Private Game Reserve.

Our unique cliff top position offers you a dramatic view over the Sundays River whilst you are relaxing on your private deck or having an outdoor shower.

At Esiweni Lodge we offer delicious meals with a range of excellent South African wines. For a true African bush experience, we have dinner in an outdoor boma. On clear summer nights we often serve dinner on the large wooden deck with magnificent views over the valley. You may also choose to have a private dinner in our intimate wine cellar.

After a memorable game drive, enjoy the tranquil atmosphere at the lodge or laze around our rim-flow pool.

Although you arrive as guests, our warm hospitality will ensure that you will be part of the family in no time at all!
