We spent two nights at Emdoleni and had a very comfortable stay. We were caught-out a little by the fact that the rates we were quoted didn't include any meals.

The cat encounter is absolutely outstanding. Wildcat, Caracal, Serval and Cheetah. The guides also take great pictures of you with Cheetah. You get to go into meet with Wildcat, Serval and one of the Cheetahs. Great experience. We had great time there. Must do if visiting this area.

Since 2008 I come to this lovely , friendly beautiful lodge and the owners Cecillie and Louis became close friends. Their kindness is reflecting on all the staff and this year I came with my son and wife. Camilo was excited to see the Zulu cat center and he became a certified junior ranger!! A stay we´ll never forget! Thanks to all, thanks Rebecca and Ingrid and all the staff, love you:-)

We went back to Emdoneni for our 5th time, the 1st since Covid. They managed to retain most of the original staff and we were pleased to see so many people we remembered, and who remembered us. The cat project was educational and entertaining and it was good to be so close to the cats being looked after so well. The accommodation was perfect as usual and the food was excellent. We took the 3 night package so we got to do the hippo cruise, elephant interaction and game drive in Hluhluwe Imfolozi game reserve, as well as the cat tour. We will be back.

Fantastic room and lovely staff were highlights. Game drive was excellent and food was good. Cheetah project was a bit shabby but great to see the cats up close and the guides were knowledgeable. Boat trip nice extra if you book the 2 night package deal.

Loved staying here so much that I extended my stay. I was there with 4 teenagers who also thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Staff was amazing. Food really good. The tour through the cat sanctuary was fabulous. our guides had an amazing sense of humour and knowledge. We also did the safari drive and our guide was really good! The lodge also organised our elephant interaction. everything was great and seamless!
