Laurence Saad and his staff attended to our every need. We will always have fond memories of our stay at Billy's Lodge and River Lodge, where the food was excellent and the rooms comfortable. The guides were extremely knowledgable, which made the game drives a real pleasure. We were fortunate to experience a broad range of animals thanks to the... More

We had a great experience at both River Lodge and Billy Lodge. The staff was awesome and took care of our every need. We felt like we were staying with friends and family. Saw animals on every drive. I give it two thumbs up and would love to return again. More

Not to be trite, but this was the trip of a lifetime. This was worth every penny and more. I somehow stumbled on this lodge after doing extensive research and boy, am I glad that I did. My husband and I spent four nights at Ezulwini (Billy's Lodge) in between Christmas and New Year's. After landing at Phalaborwa, we entered... More

Three couples spend a total of five days at the River Lodge and also at "Billy's Lodge," The game trackers, drivers, and house staff were all most accommodating and helpful. The food was divine, rooms comfortable and watching the game was inspiring. Erin, Trevor and Gregg were the young staff at the River Lodge. They were knowledgeable, bright and worked... More

My wife and I spent 4 days at Ezulwini in Jan 2012. 2 nights at River Lodge and 2 nights at Billy's lodge. Our accomodations were exceptional at both locations with a nod going to Billy's lodge for it's bigger and more varied public area's. Every aspect about this experience (accomodations, food, service, game drives and people) was exceptional! We... More

I had no idea what to expect when planning this trip. Once I arrived at the River Lodge I was taken into a different world. Greeted by Erin, smiling with cool towels and cocktails then entering into an Oasis for the next few days... I was taken back by the beauty and elegance of the lodge. Catering to the guests... More
