Official Description (provided by the hotel)

The Vuyani Safari Lodge is located on the Moditlo Private Game Reserve within the Blue Canyon Conservancy which is more than 36,000 acres in size. Located next to the Kruger National Park, at the foot of the Drakensberg mountain range, Vuyani Safari Lodge is one of South Africa's premier luxury safari lodges, in the country's most famous area for African wildlife. The Vuyani Safari Lodge is one of only 3 lodges on this reserve, and with only 10 suites, it offers one of the most exclusive African safari experiences in South Africa. The reserve offers a unique opportunity to observe all of Africa's large game such as the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, hippo and crocodile as well as some of the very rarest species, amongst others the wild dog, the brown hyena, the ground hornbill, cheetahs and several other highly endangered animals. Almost 400 various species of birds have been counted. Some of the rarest European migratory birds visit the reserve in the European winter months. ... more

“Superb holiday”

Reviewed 1 week ago

We have just returned from Vuyani having spent five unbelievable days on a holiday we will never forget. The lodge and location are fantastic and the staff exceptional with nothing too difficult for anyone. The experience of " off roading" with Aggi and Hendrick whilst looking for animals added to the enjoyment especially when we walked with cheetahs, went face... More

You've captured 100% what this place is all about: meeting new and interesting people from all over the world, in one of the world's most stunning nature sceneries, simple as that. It's as close to paradise as it gets, and I could not be any more pleased that you enjoyed... More

“Amazing Place, cannot recommend any higher”

The experience at Vuyani Safari Lodge is second to none. The staff could not be more helpful, the game drives themselves are great. You get a real off road experience and get very close to the animals very different to Kruger (although I would also recommend a trip to Kruger). The rooms are great however we lucked out in having... More

Thank 86Bb

Many thanks for leaving such a lovely review! Indeed, you are right: beware the porters at the JNB airport. A clear "no thank you" will solve that problem. Regarding potential clashes with other guests: usually this is not a problem as safari travellers usually share a lot of common values, but if there is a clash, one can always swap... More

“Outstanding luxury safari lodge for our first trip to Africa”

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

For us, this is an outstanding all in near luxury lodge. The service is beyond 5 stars hotels. A small lodge with staff to guest ratio of ~1:1 and no more than 20 guests allow us get to know the staff and other guests after 5 nights. Will start with Togara and Chris who gave us the game drive experience... More

Taking time to leave such reviews takesmore effort than many travellers can imagine, and it is a very generous act to do so, to let future guests know what a place is like. It helps us imensely, and we are very grateful indeed. I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed... More

This is a very difficult review to write because I need to ensure that I do justice to the best holiday we have ever had.

“Wonderful Experience!!”

We had a terrific time. Our room, the Presidential suite, was spacious and beautifully decorated. From the time we were picked up at the airport until we left, the staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. It's very dry right now and a challenge to find animals but our guide, Tigara, and tracker, Chris, consistently provided great viewing... More

Dear Simon, It is always a pleasure to hear and read that so many guests understand the difference between a zoo and a true conservation area. Animal conservation comes first, without that there won't be a genuine experience for our guests anyway. I am also please to hear that you enjoyed the food ... given your nationality, that says a...

“Lovely rooms but not much more”

Reviewed 4 weeks ago

This was very much a last minute trip for an anniversary, and while the room (a honeymoon suite) was good if you're looking for a great safari/game viewing treat this probably isn't the place. Plains game was scarce, and driving for over an hour to see dehorned Rhino & collared cheetah really wasn't our thing. The final gripe, it must... More

Dear Gill, We take all criticism very seriously, as this is the only way to keep improving. It is also this mentality to listen to our guests that has made us one of the highest rated lodges not just in Hoedspruit, but in the whole of South Africa, and not just on Tripadvisor. We are proud of our rating on... More
