Khaya Ndlovu Safari Manor

Beautiful manor house with lush gardens overlooking a water hole where you can just observe giraffes, impalas, and many other animals at anytime during the day. Among the best boutique hotels we’ve been, the personalized service and attention of the staff, especially Truth, Advice, Jabu & Raymond was incredible. All meals were wonderful and house wine selection“Tokara” was very nice. A small point of improvement, having a wine & cocktail menu would help know the full list of options and price range available. Leadwood suite was very spacious, comfortable, well appointed, and gave a real sense of place. WiFi was a bit patchy and there’s no TV in room but we were not there for that! We could hear the freight trains passing day and night but wasn’t a major distraction. This is perhaps the cost of convenience, the lodge is 10 min away from both the main town and airport of Hoedspruit - a plus for those with limited time. Cici at the spa took great care of us for massages and facial treatments. Beautiful secluded spot overlooking the Savanah and nice products. Game drives were exceptional, we saw cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, lions.. it’s worth doing as many game drives you can with Khaya Ndlovu; Elsa, Harry and Terence were really good at replying to all our questions and explaining all aspects of the unique ecosystem. Point of improvement: external groups coming for game drives could be kept away from the pool and deck area - as their arrival/departure disrupted the tranquility and sense of privacy. We would certainly recommend to others and look forward to coming back!

A beautiful place, the manor itself is gorgeous and the swimming pool and the deck overlooking the waterhole are amazing. We were swimming while a giraffe came to browse on nearby trees, it was amazing. Staff was great too, very attentive to all our needs, and this from early morning till evening. Very good game drives too, I would like to commend and congratulate our rangers and trackers (Terrence, Vusi, Ilse, Harry, Alfonso). The sightings were amazing. Deepest thanks also to the cook and his staff, we were lucky enough to experience a boma dinner during our stay and it was magical. Everything is done to keep guests contented and comfortable. In short: a great stay, we didn't want to leave!

Khaya Ndlovu Safari Manor offers a very exclusive lodging experience for anyone looking to visit Kruger National Park for their first time. Its proximity and direct view of a small water hole allows guests to observe wildlife right from the viewing deck and outdoor dining room. The family suite accommodations were perfect for our family's needs. I traveled with my parents, and it was wonderful to share a 2-bedroom suite where we each had our own private space and bathrooms. The staff were amazing, completely customer focused to ensure we had a positive experience. I even learned how to make towel elephants from the cleaning staff. At the end of our stay, all we could think about was how much we want to go back to Khany Ndlovu.
