This lodge is set within spectacular scenery, approx 3 1/2 hour transfer from jo'burg. On our visit we were the only guests at the lodge which made the place seem very empty but nice at the same time. On our arrival we drove past some rhinos which were always located by the front of the lodge. There are 5 lodges... More

This was a fantastic place to stay. The staff were so good, and you really felt special. The lodges were amazing, with great views. When we got back to our rooms at night, due to still being abit chilly the beds, had been turned back with heated blankets switched on. Our ranger "Jonty" made our game drives really special. He...

We had 5 nights booked at the Ravineside lodges, but were upgrades to 5* kingfisher after 2 nights as we were the only guests staying up there. Ravineside was very rustic and despite the weather being rather wet and cold we were more than happy staying there-it was very cosy. Kingfisher was definitely more luxurious (robes, slippers, courtesy sherry &... More

We were made to feel special from the minute we arrived until the moment we left. Nothing was too much trouble. Nick Becker, our ranger, was passionate, friendly, helpful, informative. All the staff were excellent. The food tastes far better than it looks. The rooms are adequate, and there were gaps between the floorboards showing light down the ravine! There... More

We are not beginner in doing drive games in South Africa, and we can say that Ravineside Lodge is a very beautiful place with magnificent scenery. We spent three nights there. The games were very interesting and we saw a lot of wildlife including two cheetahs (but no leopard in sight and not so many birds). For us the games... More

Our four night stay courtesy of Virgin Holidays was a fantastic experience and wonderful value. The only extras we had to pay for were drinks from the bar which were also very reasonable. The scenery is breathtaking and you are taken to difference parts of the reserve on each game run. The ride from the upper escarpment to the lower... More

We went in November 2009 for four nights with Virgin Holidays. Its about a three hour drive from JBurg on great roads for most of the journey. The scenery is spectacular as the reserve is on two levels, on top and below a massive escarpment and even with two three hour drives a day I doubt we covered the same... More

I visited Ravineside with my OH, a friend and her partner for 2 nights. We travelled from Pretoria and the journey took about 2 1/2 hrs. The location within the Entabeni Private Game Reserve is spectacular. Our room had amazing and was perched on stilts. We booked at the last minute using MTBeds and got a good deal including all...

This place was fantastic. A good 3 hours drive north of Jo'burg airport and no where near Kruger as had been previously advertised on the virgin website - but a truly amazing place all the same. We stayed in the Ravineside lodges, overlooking the huge ravine - the otherside of which is usually where the giraffes roam (still in view... More
