We, a fam. of 5 from CH, reserved 2 nights in the lodge. We ended up staying 5 as things couldn't get much better! The staff, the bungalow, the details, it really made things very special. A special thanks to the "Kokkie / Cook" for the 4 star meals, the choice, presentation and small details. Not to forget the staff... More

We had the pleasure of staying 2 nights and were rewarded with very friendly and competent service, excellent dinner, and good proximity to the tourist attractions in the area. Wish there were more places which offered this kind of hospitality at a price which locals can afford.

Please be aware, this is truly an ecolodge; it's not just their PR slogan. That means that being earth friendly is priority. Your room won't have air conditioning. You WILL see bugs and ghekos in your room. Maybe even a frog or a bat. So if you're looking for the Four Seasons, don't stay here. But, if you're looking for... More

A very warm welcome, a fantastic dinner, a lovely bungalow; all and all a very relaxing and pleasant stay. The entire team of Wildebees (cats, dog and horse included) pampered us and made us enjoy our stay to the max. Hluhluwe/Imfolozi game park is nearby and definitely worth a visit. If you plan on visiting the St. Lucia/Hluhluwe region, Wildebees... More

When arriving we were surprised we've got a better room than we reserved- thanks to the low season. And the bed and the bathroom were decorated with the flower leaves of the bougainville, that showed special attention and carefullness. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The staff was very friendly and competent. And of course its a good basis to visit... More

I've stayed over at Wildebees Ecolodge on several occasions over the last few years, and I will keep coming back. Great hospitality, friendly staff and I just love the rusticness and feeling of sub-tropic bush ;) It's more than affordable even for the budget traveller, kuiers over the bar and relaxing around the pool is great for unwinding after a...

We stayed for a few days, including New Year's Eve, & I cannot praise this establishment too highly. The accomodation is clean & comfortable & despite being in the Bush there is electricity, fans, wonderful showers & very comfortable beds. The owners & staff cannot do enough for you & the bar is a great place to gather in the... More

This is a fantastic lodge very near to Hluhluwe game reserve. The staff are really outstanding, totally beyond any in your 4 star hotels. From my million questions prior to arrival, to helping us out with activities during our stay and checking up with us how we enjoyed them afterwards. The rooms are really sweet, with flowers around the room... More

We really enjoyed our stay. The family bungalow is great with young children. The staff at Ecolodge were absolutly great. Very friendly and at all times helpful. They gave us tips about what to do in the area and helped organize. The mattresses could be a bit more comfy.
