Sodwana is a special place - always has been. Beautiful reefs to scuba and the weather is good most of the time. It is a pity that ISimangaliso is managing this beautiful place into the ground. It is unfortunately not a new thing and has been going on for years.

Mkuze is the best place to stay if you want to visit the Mkuze Game Reserve. We saw plenty at the two hides - herds of wildebeest, impala and nyala and plenty of birds. It's about 60 km to the Memorial Gate entrance to the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve - we got up early and got there as the gates opened to spend the day in the reserve. It's also worth driving up Jozini and taking a boat out on the dam. The hotel has a great offering of tours with their own guides.

The morning private game drive with Luleka Day Safaris is a fantastic opportunity for travellers, day visitors, and tourists staying outside the reserve to experience the Manyoni Private Game Reserve. This was our second time using them this year, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. We saw all the animals we hoped to see, especially the highlight of lion cubs playing around their mother in the early morning. Seeing the Big Five on a private drive with an experienced guide is truly special. They also arranged additional extras for us, and nothing is ever too much trouble for the team. We will definitely be seeing them again soon. :-)

We booked for 6 nights but left after the first night. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. The owners is misrepresenting the property. There was no ice machine. Aircon was not working. Shower is not draining the water away. Pool and entertainment area needs TLC. The unit was cockroach invested.

Sodwana bay, that side of the beach is beautiful and safe. But for now don't book your stay at Zulu Eco lodge it's not safe. Poor lighting no security it's scary more especially at night it's horrific

The inn was easily accessible from the main road. It was safe and the staff were excellent. The service was exceptional. A variety of activities are available or you can relax in the tranquil setting. Highly recommended 👌

Fantastic range of habitats to support such a wide variety of animals, birds, insects etc. stunning views too. The reserve is well managed with nature conservation at its heart. This is reflected by all the staff we met there. They have a passion that is infectious.

I joined the Sodwana Bay facebook group and enquired about whats new. No more horse riding available, but new art activities. We went scuba diving most of the time, but also did some big game deep sea fishing, and quad biking outings and a lady from the art shop came round one evening and we had fun trying to paint canvas with painting of our respective partners.

I liked the privacy of the rooms and peaceful environment The plunge pool didn’t have warm water and it had frogs. On the first night we were given a menu with items which they didn’t have physically No lighting from the restaurant to our room and we came across a snake Saturday night.

We spent four nights at Leopard mountain and had a wonderful time. Many thanks to the team, especially to George, Craig, and Abigail. A stay at Leopard mountain is luxury and pampering. Leopard Mountain Lodge is just as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. The chalets are well-designed, excellently equipped, and you will feel very private. Needless to say – the room service is impeccable. When you stay at Leopard Mountain Lodge, you will be taken on safari in the Manyoni private reserve that includes the Big 5 and many other impressive animals. We admired the reserve’s beauty with lush hills and a winding river you can oversee from the premises (no need to go anywhere else for safari). If you wonder what awaits you at Leopard Mountain: Each day follows a routine (included if you book all-inclusive, and you can, of course, decide which elements to participate in). You will wake up early and have just a short coffee and cookies before heading out for your morning safari. Several rangers work exclusively for the lodge, and they will drive you through the private game reserve and find the animals you are most interested in seeing in the wild. Beyond all the Big 5, the Manyoni game reserve boasts cheetahs, hippos, giraffes, zebras (you name it), and hundreds of bird species – we saw all those above (and more) apart from the Leopard. After your return, you will have an excellent continental breakfast buffet plus eggs prepared to your choice. You then return to your chalet or enjoy a spa treatment (the spa is extra). A lighter lunch is prepared “picnic style.” We often enjoyed our lunch on the porch of our chalet. Before the afternoon game drive, sweet and savory muffins/cakes/quiches are served in the common area. You will return from the drive in time for a three-course dinner served outdoors in the shine of lanterns.
