We loved everything about the property. With only 3 suites it is very peaceful and personal, just what we were looking for. We were made to feel very special during our stay, from the moment we arrived with the short game drive from the car park to the little touches like the chocolates and Induli bracelets on our pillows and the hot chocolate with amarula after the game drive. The hot water bottles for the chilly morning game drives were another unexpected treat. We enjoyed getting to know the staff. Bulela was very knowledgeable about the animals and plants and we really enjoyed his company on the game drives. Thando looked after us very well, always there to greet us and refill our drinks. Elmarie’s food was delicious and we loved chatting to her when she came out of the kitchen. It was great to meet Matt & Anne, the owners and on one evening Matt shared a drink with us and told us all about their dream of Induli and how it came to be. We have been on several safaris and we loved this one the most. We can’t thanks the team enough for giving us such a special and memorable stay We will be back

Stunning place, absolute luxury for tents in the Bush, in the middle of nowhere. Such a treat to live almost alongside the animals (from a safe distance!) and to observe in natural surroundings. Saw so many beautiful creatures and I loved that the lodge was respectful and conscious of the environment in terms of the minimal impact construction of the accommodation (beautifully equipped luxury tents) and yet struck a really lovely balance with comfort and beautiful design. A very special experience that we will treasure forever.

The staff are brilliant. The food is amazing. The accommodation is beautiful. The private game reserve felt special, as if we had it to ourselves during our excursions. I had very high expectations based on the price and the whole experience met these. Everything was catered for effortlessly.

Everything was just perfect. The rooms. The Service. The food. The safaris with Nel. So interesting to learn about nature and animals. She she did the safari with so much passion, professionalism and so much fun. Exceptional. We had the best time ever. We stayed for two nights but it felt like a week. Nothing to add. If any chance we would love to come back anytime.

This must be THE BEST safari lodge and wildlife experience in southern SA! The location, the staff, the guides, the food, the overall experience was absolutely superb. An added bonus was the open bar. A very nice touch indeed. We were lucky enough to meet the owners, and we can see why this place is as nice as it was :-)

The Hlosi game lodge and the reserve were one of our highlights of our SA trips. We had a lovely very spacious house and deck with 2 bathrooms with in- and outside showers. Restaurant and deck with view to the waterhole with 2 hippos was amazing. All game drives were breathtaking and “successful”. We saw all big five (replacing the leopard by cheetahs) plus giraffes, zebras, kudus, etc. very close. It was our best location to spot many animals.

One of many lodges in a vast safari reserve - and I mean vast. Safari drives were over three hours and we saw the big five and many many other wildlife. The all inclusive nature of the lodge was exemplary - lovely meals (although little choice) and uniquely we were offered bottles of wine to take to our rooms.

The lodges are set in a great location and all the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The 2 safari drives per day were great with Seamus, our engaging and knowledgeable guide. Facilities and food and drink (free bar) were good. Lodges were clean and comfortable.
