Luxury safari lodge in Rietspruit Big 5 Game Reserve

KHAYA NDLOVU SAFARI MANOR

Rietspruit Big 5 Game Reserve

Khaya Ndlovu Safari Manor is the only commercial lodge within the Rietspruit Big 5 Game Reserve in Hoedspruit—the gateway to the Greater Kruger National Park. Perched on the edge of a kopje, the Manor offers spectacular views of the African bush, framed by the rugged Drakensberg Mountain range.

Guests can embark on open-vehicle safaris through prime Big 5 territory, with the added and regular thrill of spotting cheetahs, wild dogs and much more. Between game drives, they can unwind with a spa treatment, lounge by the infinity pool, or enjoy a refreshing gin and tonic on the deck while watching the bustling waterhole in front of the lodge. Convenient transfers from Eastgate Airport can be easily arranged.
