Initially I wasn't 100% sure when booking the lodge for me and my parents who were visiting from the UK, however I am so happy that I booked Esiweni - out of 4 game reserves so far, it is my favorite. Stunning views that no-one else has the privilege to see, immaculate rooms, personal friendly service from Magda and her... More

Entertaining an American visitor to the country, I recently booked the honeymoon suite at this lodge to enjoy an 'African safari' adventure. The lodge is set in the most ideal location in Nambiti game reserve, and has beautiful views. The honeymoon suite has its own private deck with an outdoor bath and great views across a gorge and over a... More

Esiweni Lodge in Nambiti Game Reserve has one of the most breathtaking views in the region, its chic relaxed and extremely tranquil. We arrived at Nambiti Game Reserve entrance, were our friendly Game-Guide met with us and exhilarating as it might sound our game drive had just begun. We were transferred to Esiweni lodge in a 4x4 Game Viewing vehicle... More

We spend one night in this great lodge. Cozy decorated rooms with everything you need, fine dining and nice wines, friendly staff and fun game drives. The only thing we regret is spending only one night!! We will be back for sure. More

We have stayed 3 nights with Magda, Natie and their friendly team at Esiweni Lodge, the smallest of currently 10 Lodges in the Nambiti Game Reserve.

Nice weather provided, you'll never forget... More

We were lucky enough to be in time for the afternoon game drive and what a stroke of luck...we got to see... More

Wonderful host's, staff, Lodges, food, true comforts of home, we were made feel part of the family without intrusion. there was nothing more we could... More

The reviews I saw about this being an undiscovered gem are spot on. I can't find good enough adjectives to describe the setting and the views from the lodge, and none of the photos I saw do it justice. From the moment we arrived the hospitality was absolutely first class and we were in heaven. It's only a small lodge,... More
