The lodge rooms at Gooderson Bushlands Game Lodge are connected with the bar and pool via wooden walkways. They feature air conditioning and a bathroom with shower. The chalets have catering facilities.

after driving 5 min through dense forest we arrived at the reception, checked in and then went to the viewing deck which was overlooking a wide open field. The view was overwhelming.. deers, blue wildebeest, Zebras and three gIraffes were grazing in the wide expanse not more than 50m from us. The same 3 giraffes 'blocked' out path when driving the few meters to our bungalow. What an experience! The staff were super helpful. The AC wasn't properly cooking, a repair company was just on the premises and they gave them the order to right away also refill the gas on our AC unit.

    We so enjoyed our two days stay at this little lodge. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the meals presented were very tasty. They packed us a delicious picnic breakfast for when we went into the main park. The rooms are tastefully decorated, and the beds were very comfortable. A bonus is the game drives offered from the lodge, where an abundance of game was spotted.

    We are regular visitors to Falaza. We return because we love the location, the peace and tranquility and its initial attraction was its rather appealing clean, luxury tents. We have been coming to Falaza since around 2016 and have returned multiple times as we are in Hluhluwe at least every month to stay at the variety of resorts and game lodges. We consider Falaza one of the more peaceful, clean and serene settings and the staff have always been great on multiple levels.

    Duikker Game Lodge is part of a 400 hectare estate with beautiful views of the surrounding hills and countryside. The game drives on the estate were great - there is a higher density of animals than in the bigger national parks. And since there are only 6 rooms, you might well be the only guests on the drive. Its a wonderfully peaceful place to stay and the sounds of Africa in the evening are wonderful.

    We enjoyed our stay at Duiker Game Lodge. The cottages are spacious, comfortable, and clean and all have great views of the beautiful surroundings. The staff is very friendly and goes the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable. The food was also top quality. At the end of the day, you can join the complimentary game drive to see the wildlife in the park with some to-be-expected and rare species.
