    Nothing to mention.

    It was quiet and secluded, in a beautiful location with amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Being so close to nature is wonderful.

    Consider having a buffet each nothing instead of a set menu one night to cater for the fussy eater

    Beautiful views and comfy bed. Great bedroom and bathroom and view from patio on impala all day.

    Nothing. I just wish they had some bar fridges in the rooms. Maybe they can also improve the condition of the road from the reception area to the lodge, it really gets muddy and slippery in wet weather.

    Stayed at Indlovu Lodge.Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Love that there's a lounging area on each wing of the lodge.

    You will struggle if you have allergies due to the carpets probably not cleaned with the correct equipment.

    Honestly, The only thing that would have made any sort of difference would have been seeing the elephants on the drive. With that being said, we did happen upon Ones' back in the morning as we opened the curtains. He, she, They (there was one, don't wish to get Trunkies pronouns wrong) was less than 100m from our Chalet.

    The Staff members were all impeccable. I'd love to name-drop but that would be severely unfair on the People in The Back who are a large part of how the stay was. Genuinely from the depths of my heart I thank you. I work with my other half so this was a work trip and we figured that we should take Mom with since she has retired. Thanks to your hospitality my Mother-in-Law thinks we Splurge every weekend when we usually Rough it.

    I didn't like that there is No TV in the rooms, because relying on the shared one in the lounge is not okay, hence we have different tastes or preferences, how I wish each room can have it's own TV

    Hospitality there is out of this world, classically, meals from Breakfast to Dinner are excellent, ride to the park is a cherry on top

    Meals are non halaal and supper was served buffet style and did not offer any vegetarian main meal option. Only vegetarian options were the side dishes complimenting the non-vegetarian main meals.

    Amazing staff. Very friendly. Amazing location. Very clean

    A fridge would have been a lovely addition to the rooms.

    The location is lovely it's away from everything. The chalets are set in a beautiful setting with a beautiful backdrop. Waking up to animals running around is such a pleasure.
