"Leopard Walk Lodge: A Perfect African Retreat After a demanding business trip from the USA, Leopard Walk Lodge was the ideal place to unwind before my 30-hour flight home. With a small number of luxury lodges, each designed for complete privacy, it offers a serene escape in the heart of the African bush. The accommodations are beautifully furnished with all the amenities you could need, including excellent WiFi. However, it’s the stillness of the wilderness that truly soothes the soul, inviting...

"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do. Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you will need to eat dinner at the lodge. The foods is quite plain with not much choice. Also be aware that the rooms have no TVs. I would recommend the Lodge for its position and the attentive staff."

"I can’t recommend Rhino Coast Guest House highly enough. On arrival we were very warmly met by the owner Don who was incredibly informative, helpful and enjoyable to talk with. Don was also super helpful with some car rental issues we had. The accommodation is very comfortable, the rooms are really tastefully decorated and a very comfortable bed. The location is brilliant, close to all restaurants in the Main Street and also to the beach. The breakfast was so generous and one of the best we had...
