Emhosheni River Lodge

Staying at Emhosheni River Lodge was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and breathtaking views of the river. The lodge is perfectly located, offering a peaceful and intimate safari experience away from the crowds. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching elephants drink from the river right in front of us was simply magical. The food was outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great care. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, always with a smile. The game drives were an absolute highlight! Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, making sure we saw incredible wildlife up close while sharing fascinating insights about the animals and the ecosystem. If you're looking for a luxurious yet authentic safari experience, Emhosheni River Lodge is the place to be. We can't wait to return!

There are no words to describe how magical our 5 day safari was! Everything exceeded our expectations. However, I'll try to sum up in a few words who and what made this trip unforgettable. Safari Game Drives / Tours: William is the most knowledgeable and educational guide you could ask for. We enjoyed every second of him teaching us about this wonderful piece of our planet. He is also such a funny, patient and passionate person and really enjoyed answering tons of questions and sharing all his wisdom with us. Hospitality: Sarah (manager) and Eric (service and bar) took care of every single request and detail. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Although the weather is unpredictable during the rainy season, Sarah was always ready to adapt our schedule to the weather conditions and offer us flexible and valuable alternatives. Eric and his friendly and enthusiastic service made our time at the lodge very enjoyable. He was always quick with the perfect wine or drink recommendation as he quickly learned our preferences. Kitchen: Lucia is an incredibly skilled chef and managed to surprise us every day with delicious and carefully plated meals. Accommodation: The lodge, its surroundings and our chalet were magical. We loved the interior and exterior design, the views, the tranquil garden and pool area. We still wonder how Priscila managed to take care of our chalet every minute, as if we would not have used it without seeing her even once near it. I am so sorry that I have forgotten the names of the two gardeners who look after the beautiful and lush green sourrings and do a wonderful job. Thank you all for making our safari one of the best trips of our lives!

It was really wonder full. We had a great time.in luxury and were really spoilt. Hoop we can return some day.

Excelente estadia Exceto pelo vexame que passei na hora do checkout (ausência de repasse da ******* dos valores das diárias) a estadia foi excepcional. Excelente localização e funcionários maravilhosos. Recomendo.

Emhosheni provides an amazing experience all round, from its gracious and attentive staff, the wonderful meals, the exciting excursions/ safaris with William and its location on the river, where animals - elephants, baboons, giraffes, monkeys, wart hogs, kudus, hippos, etc - provide daily entertainment and interest. We had the best time and heartily recommend Emhosheni.

My three nights in a luxury tent at Emhosheni River Lodge were very comfortable and just what I wanted. Sarah and the staff did everything they could to help me in my mission to see wildlife (particularly birds). The three game drives and a game walk I did yielded some wonderful wildlife moments and they also booked a day long birding trip through Kruger for me. I saw 56 lifers (new birds for me) during my stay. The food was great and vegetarian friendly. The gardens and surroundings are beautiful and I could see plenty of wildlife inside and outside the fence.
