Traveller reviews

“The sanctuary of tranquility where serenity reigns supreme.”
02 May 2025
The lodge embodies the essence of an intimate retreat, offering a sanctuary of tranquility where serenity reigns supreme. The gentle cadence of the river’s flow weaves seamlessly into the stillness of the surroundings, creating an atmosphere that soothes the soul. It is a haven where time slows, allowing one to revel in the quietude and reconnect with a loved one in the embrace of nature’s understated elegance.

“Most beautiful lodge”
31 Mar 2025
Madwaleni River Lodge exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were treated to incredible hospitality and an unforgettable experience. The food was abundant and absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding, with a special shoutout to Anele, who went above and beyond to make our room extra special with thoughtful treats and surprises. The tent was simply spectacular—the most luxurious we’ve ever stayed in. Every detail was carefully considered, and the quality of the furniture was top-notch. Our game drives were a highlight, thanks to our knowledgeable guide, Njabulo, who made the experience even more memorable. Drinking sundowners next to the river was an absolute dream, and the lodge’s location—nestled between the White Mfolozi River and breathtaking mountains—made for a truly magical setting. A huge thank you to Robyn, Sifiso, and all the incredible staff who made our stay so special. We can’t wait to return!

“perfect”
01 Dec 2024
The remoteness of the lodge makes it sure, only nature lovers are crossing your way, if so. Everything is PERFECT. A library with a wonderful design is also unique in this remote area, as the cool wine cellar is. What a wonderful concept. Even 1 minute before arrival you do not expect this gem in the middle of an impressive (new) game reserve. All staff is exceptional friendly and professional.

“A fantastic experience overall!”
