My husband and I had the trip of a lifetime. We love game parks and lodges, and we had a little extra money to spare, so we decided to splash out. We chose Umzolozolo Lodge in the Nambiti Game Reserve, which was worth every penny. Every part, from the staff singing for us on arrival, to the gorgeous room and facilities, the food, the staff and management.
Henry, the front house Manager was a sweetheart throughout our 3 night stay, as we’re the ladies in the lounge and dining area. Everyone spoke perfect English and appeared to be very happy.
Our guide, Siya, was unbelievably great at his job. He has been at the Nambiti Reserve for 14 years and has the eyesight of a Hawk. His knowledge of the fauna and flora is outstanding.
Siya looked after our every need by showing us almost everything in the reserve. The only animal on our wish list that we missed was a leopard. Thus, we saw 4 of the big 5, and they were all really close sitings.
In addition, I had a fantastic massage at their in house Spa. They also have a quaint curio shop that has loads of delightful gifts for yourself or your family back home.
I am sure the other Lodges in the Nambiti family are all up to standard, but my husband and I were totally blown away with Umzolzolo and hope we may return there some day.
To the staff and management, we thank you. Albert & Moira Hattingh
