Safari Accommodation in KZN

  BEST VACATION EVER - Ndaka blew me away. From the friendly staff, to the cleanliness, to the beautiful tents, pool and the AMAZING food. Not to mention, the most amazing part being the safari... read more drives. The guides were so knowledgeable and fun. I have already recommended to several people back home in the US and recommend that they TAKE THE TRIP!

  Service, Accommodation and Game Drives were all outstanding! - Accommodation, staff, guides and sightings were all amazing!! Ndaka really knows how to spoil us!

  Best bush trip at Ndaka Safari Lodge - Our family (kids 8 and 9) spent four unforgettable nights at Ndaka Safari Lodge and it was truly spectacular from start to finish.

Every single game drive was... read more special — we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, including elephants up close and a leopard lounging on a rock. One of the absolute highlights was spotting a cheetah and her four cubs — something we will never forget.

The staff were exceptional: warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our stay memorable. You can feel the pride they take in what they do.

The accommodation was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and the perfect place to relax. and enjoy some peace.

We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and already talking about when we can go back. Highly recommend!

  A truly special place - How can you sum up the experience of Ndaka in a review? Some places leave a lasting memory, a feeling that you can't really describe in words. Ndaka is one... read more of those places. The people, the animals, the rooms, the food all incredible. It's evident how much the staff really care about each other and their guests. They really take care of you and work so hard to ensure you have a great experience. The food was incredible, I'm still thinking about the lamb curry, the desserts, the breakfast biscuits, and the delicious wood-fired pizza. The rooms are beautiful, we had some of our best sleeps at Ndaka.

Our daily game drives were by far the highlight of our entire trip to South Africa. Nothing like a sun-downer in the bush. Experiencing these majestic animals in their natural habitat is truly life-changing and made even better by our knowledgable guide Ben who I think knew every plant, insect, bird, and animal in the South African bush. Our kids (and us) learnt so much and we can't wait to return.

  Ndaka at nambithi game reserve - We had elephant suite and hippo tent. Both were amazingly stylish. David, our guide was informative and knowledgeable. Staff super friendly. Definitely a big YES

  Amazing holiday - Went with my Mom for one night and it was amazing!!! Wish I had booked for two nights.
Staff were extremely friendly, food was delicious, rooms beautiful with very comfortable... read more beds. Will definitely be back at some stage to stay for longer

  Ideal game experience - I am from Nrw Zealand and Ndaka was recommended to me by a close friend and I was not disappointed. It was a truly wonderful 3 nights I had... read more at the lodge. From the moment I arrived at the gate until the dreaded time to leave, I enjoyed every moment of my time there. All the staff, and I mean, all the staff were friendly, extremely helpful and not one let me down on any request I made.
My room, Impala, was stunning with ideal privacy for a shower in the outdoor facility or the huge bath to lie in and look out over the savannah. The same view from the huge king size bed.
The food was absolutely beautiful and a different menu every meal.
Then the game drives were excellent with our ranger, Angus, so entertaining as well as informative. His sense of humour coupled with his knowledge had me going back for each game drive with extra enthusiasm. A breakfast one morning on the river and sundowners every evening drive were a treat. We saw 4 of the big five as well as 2 cheetah. Only the leopard eluded us. Who could ask for more?
I cannot say enough about this wonderful lodge which is not luxurious but extremely tastefully decorated and furnished at reasonable prices for the average wild animal enthusiast. Some reserves are ostentatious and overpriced. Not Ndaka. It is perfect whether travelling solo or as a family or a group. I sincerely hope to return one day.
