Inzalo Safari Lodge

Inzalo Safari Lodge is a luxurious tented oasis in the spectacular "big five" Welgevonden Game Reserve, a 34 000 ha malaria-free protected wilderness within the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere of South Africa's Limpopo Province. A mere 2.5-hour drive or a 45-minute flight from Johannesburg into one of the reserve's two airstrips, makes the Welgevonden one of the most accessible premier malaria-free reserves in the country. Privately owned and managed by Dave and Henriette Rieger, together with their passionate and dedicated team, Inzalo Safari Lodge offers the opportunity to escape, explore and immerse oneself in the daily rhythm of the African bush.

Izingwe Lodge

Situated on a hillside with breathtaking views of the Waterberg Mountains, the main lodge has 6 huge, glass sliding, stacking doors facilitating the entire north facing front to open and incorporate the natural environment. The large open plan indoor/outdoor living and dining areas are an integral part of the experience. The three guest rooms each have a king-size bed and en-suite bathrooms with outdoor showers. Each room has a private viewing deck and a luxurious day bed “sala” where guests can relax during the day while taking in the breathtaking views of the Waterberg. Other facilities include an infinity pool at the main lodge; an outdoor “boma” dinner venue; a “hide” at the waterhole and a well-equipped fitness centre. For those who need connectivity, there is Wi-Fi in each guest room as well as at the Main Lodge.

Maninghi Lodge

Maninghi Lodge is situated on the banks of the Olifants River in the Northern section of Balule Nature Reserve, which is open to the Kruger National Park.

Manyoni Game Reserve

Manyoni Private Game Reserve is one of the largest privately-owned reserves in Kwazulu-Natal. This 23,000-hectare reserve is the product of 17 dedicated landowners who dropped their fences in 2004 to create one contiguous protected area for our wildlife. The selection of the area as a potential release site for the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project was a major driving factor in the establishment of Manyoni. In 2005, the newly established reserve was confirmed as a release site by the WWF and a founder population of black rhino were released into their new home.
