Situated on the western shore of Lake St Lucia, adjoining False Bay Game Reserve and the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park lies Hluhluwe River Lodge. The lodge commands a spectacular view of the Hluhluwe River floodplain and False Bay. It offers the most comprehensive experience of South Africa’s first natural World Heritage site including the famous Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park a mere thirty minutes away.

Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park offers excellent game viewing and a chance to see the “Big Five” from our open landrovers whilst the False Bay sandforest is the home to one of Africa’s smallest antelope the suni and its shy relatives, the red and grey duiker. Nyala, impala, reedbuck, kudu, Zebra, waterbuck, vervet monkeys, black backed jackal, aardvark and bushpig all occur in the area. The area is also home to purple crested lourie, narina trogon, green coucal, pink throated longclaw and african broadbill to mention but a few of the 318 bush and water birds that occur here. Hippo and Nile crocodile are found in the lake along with a variety of water birds.

Twelve luxury thatched chalets are dotted around a magnificent indigenous garden each with its own viewing deck. There are eight two-bed chalets, two four-bed open plan family chalets with private shower and toilet facilities. In addition there are two honeymoon chalets with shower and Victorian style baths. All chalets have modern air conditioners and mosquito nets. Twenty-eight guests can be accommodated comfortably. There is a central main lodge facility with separate lounge, dining room and pub facility and an outside boma where meals are served under a blanket of African stars. There is a network of well-lit paths connecting the rooms to the main lodge and there is a secluded swimming pool in the garden.

Activities are run in the morning and afternoon with guests receiving a wake up call before meeting on our deck for tea/coffee and rusks. Then depart on a three-hour activity, which returns to the lodge in time for brunch. Guests may then relax at the lodge or engage in one of the other activities offered in the area. High tea is served before the guests depart for their afternoon activity, returning to the lodge with time to freshen up before dinner.

Prices are from £105.00 per person sharing per night, full board.
