Comfortable, rustic safari game lodge. Warm fireplaces, cozy and warm rooms. Tasty meals. Maybe could use a bit more variety in desserts. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and attentive. Safari driver was fantastic! Brian was able to find and have us experience VERY up close viewings with so many animals. Very few things we did not see. Every day had at least one WOW experience that took your breath away. Elephants play fighting right in front of you, lions walking directly by the car on the hunt, birds of many kinds and antelope and wart hogs and .... just everything with info from our guide Brian to let us know more about what we were seeing. A lifetime of viewing nature documentaries does not come close to the feelings and sights seen at Hlosi lodge. Thanks for the memories I will never forget!

WOW. Hlosi delivered an impressive experience for our first safari. We scored an amazing deal on Travelzoo and were blown away by our time there. All of the staff is wonderful. We had a small electrical issue in our tent so moved to a lodge style room - DEFINITELY get the tent! Its beautiful and just added to the overall experience. Our guide, Zaan, was PHENOMENAL - sadly if you're looking to come here and get him he has since moved on but we still chat. I don't know that our trip would have been the same without him. We saw a couple of rare things (so we were told) an Aardvark during the day (as well as at night), and multiple Aardwolf sitings (both day and night, 2x with 2 of them). We also saw the lions, cheetahs (including the 4 babies), and pretty much everything else! I wish I had brought a beanie, it gets cold - but was able to purchase one there. The food was excellent, with our favorites being the pork belly and the filets, and the chocolate! Didn't hit the pool (too cold) but everything else amenity wise was great. The bed warmers were the best. Just remember you're in the bush, you're not there to take long hot showers and spend all day at the spa! Go, you won't regret it, its the best trip of my life.

I purchased a travel voucher on a whim to stay at Hlosi Lodge and I am so happy that I did. It brought me to South Africa and an amazing trip of a lifetime. I spent 5 nights at the lodge doing two game drives as day as the regular programming + some extra activities I booked. We saw all of the Big 5 multiple times though every drive was different and special :) I never got tired of going out and I had an amazing guide Corlea (so sorry if I got spelling wrong). She took me out on a special bird drive, found us a rare hyena sighting and we followed along with cheetahs as they hunted. We were able to see so much and she also is just a great person to get to spend time with. The acommodations at Hlosi were so nice and private. I stayed in one of the deluxe rooms rather than the tented suite and I had a huge and comfortable king bed with heating pads the staff would come in and turn on before I got back from a game drive in the evening. I had a nice seating area, a mini bar even and then a private deck where I just sat so many afternoons and watched birds and all the wildlife that would come through. Lls The meals were all incredibly high quality and there were many options. All the staff was there to make sure you had a great time.

This is an Amazing location,great place for a first safari-the fabulous food was tasty and much needed after 2 game drives a day. The temperature was on occasions below freezing so warm clothing is needed-there were plenty of animals to see breathtaking scenery. The friendly staff were lovely.

An incredible experience! The lodge is a beautiful building in some of the most incredible wilderness you will ever see. We had the chance to see over 40 different species while out on safari with our fantastic ranger, Kotaza. The food and service at the lodge were consistently exceptional, and we were made to feel like VIP's for every minute of our stay. Lastly, seeing elephants up close was a transcendant and beautiful experience.

Hlosi was a wonderful place to visit. The whole experience was amazing. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The central lodge is great. Our guide Corlea was outstanding. Her knowledge and ease of communicating was great. Her ability to anticipate the moves of the animals was uncanny. Her driving was incredible. Just couldn’t rate her more highly. The only negative was the cold. We had opted for a tented lodge. On the windy night it was bitterly cold. We weren’t expecting it to be so bitter.

This was the first safari for our family of 5 and it was a truly wonderful experience. When you first arrive you are greeted by the staff & shown to your accommodation. It is winter here so the heating was on & electric blankets on the beds. The lodges are stunning and such fun! We did 2 safaris each day - one at 7am and one at 3pm. A light breakfast is served before the morning one followed by a cooked breakfast on your return. Lunch is served then out on the afternoon drive with dinner as soon as you return. The food is very good - and plentiful! Our ranger was Corlea - she was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and we saw elephants, giraffes, rhino, lions & lionesses. It was absolutely unreal. Being our first safari we didn’t know the difference between a private reserve and a national park and now are so glad we chose the private reserve. The rangers are so respectful of the animals, don’t crowd them & spend lots of time with the engine off just quietly observing. It got extremely cold at night and in the early morning so bring lots of layers, warm socks etc. We don’t hesitate in recommending Hlosi and can’t wait to return.
