Wow, what to say about Vuyani? How do I sum up one of the best vacations we've ever taken into just 50 characters? Henry met us at the airport and got us off to an amazing start when he spotted 2 cheetahs and several giraffes before we even made it to the lodge! (The airport was still in sight!) We... More

We have just spent 7 wonderful days at Vuyani Lodge. Our safari holiday was nothing less than fantastic. Pierre our ranger at the lodge picked us up from Joburg airport for the drive to Hoedspruit. He was waiting for us in the arrivals section so we had no problems spottng him. We chose to do this rather than fly down... More

From beginning to end our 12 night stay at Vuyani Lodge was exceptional. Chris, one of the chefs/rangers at the lodge picked us up from Johannesburg for the drive to Hoedspruit. We chose to do this rather than fly down so that we could take in the landscape and get some feel of the country as it was our first... More

Vuyani exceeded our expectations with the exception of the broken jacuzzi in the Honeymoon Suite. They made attempts to fix it but to no avail. It is our understanding that they plan to remove them shortly due to many problems they have had with them. We arrived on the day that Quinton and Yolande (managers) were saying goodbye to the...

We spent a long weekend at Vuyani Safari lodge. It was amazing! The friendliness of the staff was refreshing, and their willingness to help made the weekend unforgettable. Our room’s air conditioning overflow pipe got blocked (something that happens in the bush). The staff made numerous calls to the technician to come out to fix it. When it became apparent... More

Trip of a lifetime! My husband and I spent one week at Vuyani and we can't say enough good things about the lodge. The location is simply incredible - a private reserve with the Drakensberg mountains as a backdrop. What a beautiful view first thing in the morning, when you are sitting on the back patio, enjoying their awesome breakfasts.... More

My family of six (all adults) spent 10 days at the Vuyani Lodge. What I thought would be a once in a lifetime trip will now be a place we will return. Everything you might need or want will be taken care of cheerfully. At the Vuyani you will have an intimate vacation with the comforts of home (just add... More

The lodge is beautiful and sits comfortably in the landscape. The view of the Drakensberg from the large terrace and pool is is fantastic. They take you on game drives at 5:30am and 4:30pm, and the guides do a terrific job spotting game of all kinds, including birds, bushbabies, spiders and dungbeetles too. The reserve has gorgeous herds of impalas,... More

We stayed for a week at Vuyani in the beginning of October - and undoubtedly this was one of the best vacations we've ever had. The view of the Drakensberg in the morning is just amazing. While the on-reserve game drives are nice - a trip to Kruger Park is a must!
