We spent our first two days of our vacation at this beautiful lodge, before driving towards the Krüger National Park. It was very relaxing and the whole staff made us feel very welcome and at home. After our welcome drink we went for our first Game Drive with our ranger. Do not expect the "Big 5" here, but we saw... More

We arrived at zwahili to very friendly staff and a divine welcome drink - just what we needed on such a hot day. We went for our belated valentines day celebration, and they really went out of their way to make it extra special. The food was absolutely divine, and the service was super friendly and professional. Our room was... More

Zwahili Lodge does not have the big five which has great appeal for us as travellers, because we were able to walk in the game park. This allowed us to really experience the bush and increase our bird knowledge. The price was very reasonable considering that this is a 5 star lodge. The service was excellent and the food very...

This lodge is totally over priced,I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. Anyone expecting a 5 star stay will be dissapointed,no aircons,television,or a manual to open the safe.Not to mention the Queen size bed,consisting of two single beds pushed together.Good food and service though.

As we only had one night away to enjoy a special anniversary, we decided on Zwahili as it is an easy 90 minute drive from Northern Gauteng. We had a midweek stay which was given at a much cheaper rate than usual and therefore turned out to be good value for money, as it included all the same benefits of... More

This was a very pleasant experience. As far as 5 star game lodges go, this was good value for money. The food was excellent, accomodation very authentic. The only comments i would make for prospective guests is to be aware that the game lodge doesnt have big 5 game, so dont go expecting to see this. You may be lucky... More

Our complaint is that on arrival we were expecting 5 star luxury accommodation as per their rating. We were so disappointed that we contacted TGCSA to check this fact . My advise to travelers is that you visit the lodge before they insist on your non refundable ,100% upfront payment and confirm if this is the expensive getaway that you... More

My wife and I had a great experience at this beautiful and tranquil game lodge, with small to medium sized game (none of the big five). We went to one other game park in our South Africa vacation with large game, and compared to Zwahili, it other one felt very staged, like a large open-air zoo with a bunch of... More

We spent a night at Zwahili during Winter. Paid R3000 for the 2 of us for the night and stayed in a luxury tent. The place is supposed to be 5 star. The first tent we were placed in had no water and the toilet didnt flush. 1 of the stairs leading up to the tent was broken. One of... More
