Ubizane Zululand Safari Lodge

It’s very peaceful

Nothing

The lodge was amazing..clean and tidy..loved the out- door showers. The staff are extremely friendly

The pool was still being fixed..so no swimming There was no water for the animals in the lodge..very heartbreaking The lodges need a little bit of TLC..the entrance to the lodge is not 'manned' you have to always ring reception for exiting and entering

Great stay,our unit was spotless and very comfortable. Very interesting walk with De Wet, very knowledgeable and eager to share his knowledge

Schöner, gemütlicher Bungalow. Wir hatten Giraffen zu Besuch und ein paar Impalas. Frühstück und Abendessen in der Tree-Lodge war sehr gut. Allerdings gibt es überall nur Soft-Drinks und Wasser. Bier und Wein kann man sich mitbringen -vorher einkaufen! In der Hütte ist ein Kühlschrank. Man kann Touren vor Ort buchen, allerdings gab es nicht so viel zu sehen. Der nächtliche Spaziergang hat sich nicht gelohnt, die Sonnenuntergangstour war prima. Aber die Cat-Protecting -Station in der Nähe ist einen Besuch wert.

Die Big5 -Tour startete 1/2 Stunde zu spät, weil Gäste verschlafen hatten. Das war sehr ärgerlich, weil es dann schon längst hell war im Park. Überhaupt war die Tour sehr enttäuschend - weniger Tiere und extrem weit weg. Zumindest wenn man aus den Krüger kommt, nicht lohnend. Die Küche ist zum selber kochen sehr spartanisch ausgestattet!

Great place for visiting hluhluwe. Amazing food by chef kok every night!

Clean and comfortable

Love staying at Ubizane , always so peaceful. Staff are outstanding with their service, super friendly and accommodating.

The courteousness of the staff and trying to make our stay as pleasant as possible.

The smell from the thatch affected my wife as she's very sensitive to any smell.

The lodge was beautiful, incredible views, clean, wild animals on the property, amazing staff, safe and spacious rooms with everything you need. The staff were able to organize a night tour and sunrise safari tour (included tea, coffee, biscuits and pastries). Both were great tours and informative! The food on the property were delicious for dinner and breakfast.

The pool wasn’t working when we were there. We had children so we were disappointed with that. The water was cold for a shower but it woke me up as we had a sunrise safari to get to so that was ok.

L’emplacement proche de la réserve Hluhluwe imfolosi. Les animaux qui se promènent entre les logements. L’accueil et le service extrêmement sympathique du restaurant et du breakfast. Les équipements des rondavels sont très bien. La literie est bonne.

L’odeur dans le logement, mais je présume qu’il vient des matériaux utilisés pour faire le toit.

Es war mega schön mit den Tieren drumherum und super nette Staff! Leckeres Abendessen und umschlagbare Preis-Leistung.

Vehicles not parking near the rooms.

Very quiet and peaceful place.

Staff was friendly

I didn't get the time to enjoy the amenities

The Lodge is well situated, being a few Km's from Memorial Gate entrance to Hluhulwe Game Reserve. All the staff were really friendly and helpful at all times. Their Buck (Nyala) roam freely between the bungalows. so close up to enjoy.

1) THE FOOD - We ordered dinner, rather than use the self-catering kitchen in the Bungalow. We were so sorry that we did. Husband ordered the steak option, and I opted for the Pork Chop. While my Pork chop was ok, the steak was very tough. One also does not expect to be served Frozen Vegs and frozen chips, warmed up, as your sides. The starter comprised of a couple of calamari rings (maybe also from Frozen) with one lettuce leaf and lastly a store-bought Malva Pudding slice, with some custard (store bought) For us, quality of the food is more important than the price, so maybe some revision of pricing is needed to raise the standard served. 2) CROCODILES IN CAPITVITY. They advertise the Croc Deck to watch crocodiles in their natural habitat, (as per their website) This turned to be a really small, closed area with far too many of these majestic animals, all on top of each other. While Overseas Guests might not know the difference, we as South Africans, felt really sad 3) PRICING OF SOFT DRINKS As the restaurant is not licensed, one can only buy soft drinks. We ordered 2 Coke Zero's to have with our meal, expecting to be served the normal 330ml can's. Instead, we were given the small 200ml cans and charged R25 a drink, very expensive, when you can buy one for around R10.

Le personnel d’une extrême gentillesse. Localisation pour aller au parc Hluhluwe parfaite 10minutes en voiture. Lorsque nous sommes dans le logement nous pouvons voir se balader en liberté girafes, zèbres et impalas, le cadre est dingue. La literie est très confortable, le logement dispose d’une cuisine, d’un four, et de plaque et frigo. Nous n’avons pas utilisé car nous avons mangé au restaurant soir et matin. Et le restaurant est hyper bon que ce soit les repas ou le petit déjeuner exellent. Ah oui j’oubliais un petit cadeau de bienvenue qui fait toujours plaisir deux ananas.

Les draps étaient propres mais il y avaient des taches dessus… La moustiquaire avait beaucoup de trous.. Mais tout ça est vite remédiable 😁

Seeing Giraffes and Isolated

Pls becareful of thorns where cars are packed, It's not safe for the tyres

We were greeted by two lovely ladies to assist with our bags and checking in, then shown to our room. Braai at the boma was fun Rooms were clean and well kept.

Bijzondere locatie, in een wildpark, vlakbij de memorial gate, ingang van het Hluhluwe park.

Het zwembad was niet schoon

Friendly staff, I got to see animals on the way from the gate to the reception! The stars are amazing at night. The room is a reasonable size.

From the time we arrived we were greeted by Princess with exceptional service. The place is so serene with buck and zebras roaming right outside our door. We also managed to spot Giraffes, the rooms were cleaned everyday and the beds were so comfy. Everything exceeded our expectations and it was a very pleasent stay.. Stembile and De Wet were also very helpful. We enjoyed the big 5 game drive at Hluhluwe game reserve organised by Ubizane. Zipho was an exceptional game ranger.

Lovely lodge with cute bungalows and some Nyala roaming around. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Very grateful for the hospitality and effort.

Beautiful surroundings and the cottage was fantastic 😊

Sehr sauber und das Personal war sehr freundlich und

Pool ist in die Jahre gekommen

Logement agréable et propre. On a pu voir des animaux devant la chambre.

Salle de bain un peu vieillotte avec peu de savon.

The view was really nice

L environnement

La piscine sale

Home away and our room was very good and in the morning you woke up and see inyala and other animals

Nothing everything was good

Good

All good

Animals roaming, friendly staff, location, nature and the breakfast

The braai area is a bit far from chalets, the kitchen is very small.

Venue, facilities and friendly staff.

Needing to call every time one wants to either enter or leave the premises.

Rooms were very good

No well kept lawns foot paths dangerous esp for elderly , and far to parking lot no short cuts except over the “lawn”. Pool floor was very slippery .

The place is very neat and clean. The house is spacious and equipped with everything you need for self catering. The BOMA area is nice. The road to the lodge is not bad and very close to the main road. The lodge is suited close to many places to visit whilst there. The staff was very helpful and friendly I liked the rondovel houses It is something unique. The place is refreshing, relaxing and quiet. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely visit again. To see impala in the yard and zebras around The net in the bed to prevent mosquitos and other insects The bathtub is big enough and beautiful The dining setup outside the rooms is very relaxing for morning coffee and afternoon relaxing. The Tree lodge down the road which they said is also part of Ubizane is very nice A place to visit for some quietness and relaxation in the forest.

Not enough car ports so we had to park direct in the sun There are no activities except game drive No restaurant in the lodge and you must book before you arrive for dinner and breakfast which is served at Tree lodge not far from Safari lodge. The pool need some upgrade and must also accommodate kids. The place have a lot of space and potential of adding more games for people coming with all kids.

Environment and stuff .stuff was friendly. The place was clean 👌

Sehr schönes Rondavel mit allem was man braucht. Super schöner Garten mit Zebras und Springböcken. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Everything!!!

None

Staff was amazing, perfect bush experience really loved seeing all the animals roaming around.

Loved the pool. The room was clean and staff greeted with a smile everyday.

We couldn't braai privately due to dry grass so we had to braai at the boma but that staff was watching us alot. And when I asked the lady before arriving if we can braai by our unit she said yes probably knowing our booking and didn't mention that we actually couldn't. Also we has to sit by the gate in the mornings as the man there didn't have a key and had to wait.

Breakfast was nice

everything was good

The rooms were clean and cozy. The animals at your doorstep really added to the experience. The staff was brilliant and helpful

The pool was dirty and not exciting to swim in as it was not clear. We felt short changed from the advertisement on bookings. We expected quadbiking because we saw biking on the page. There are no outdoor showers at the safari lodge, only at the tree lodge which was unclear on the advertisement. There is no mats in the bathroom to dry your feet after showering.

The quiz was a plus for us The Boma was great with the fire to sit around

Prefer a private braai opposed to having to carry everything to the boma Prefer parking closer to the bungalow

Ubizane is a beautiful wildlide reserve in a quiet and peaceful setting.We had a short stay of two days and saw giraffe,zebra,nyala, impala and warthogs but there are other animals.The birdlife is prolific .The staff were friendly and most welcoming.Our vegetarian meals were very well catered for and special thanks to the chef and Faith for communicating with us constantly.We stayed in the self catering rondavel which had amazing views of the bush.The rooms were very clean,spacious and comfortable including mosquito nets.The bathroom had both a shower and a large bath tub.The kitchen has all you need for meal preparation.Great value for money.We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay at Ubizane which is a short distance to the Hluhluwe Game Reserve.

Nothing

Location/ staff/ facilities/ neat and well Organised . Ambience brilliant

Small issues really , just suggestion (Unit 21) bathroom floor tiles seemed stained , I think could do with a thick rubber floor mat That’s washed after each patron leaves.

Good value for money.

De ligging in de natuur

Niet schoon. Veel achterstallig onderhoud. Zwembad niet uitnodigend. Geen comfortabele stoelen bij het huisje. Vieze plakkerige koelkast. Vies muskietennet.

I had an amazing stay at Ubizane Safari Lodge. The place is quiet, peaceful, and truly feels like home, perfect for rest and relaxation. I also loved seeing so many zebras and giraffes 🦒 while driving into the lodge; it was such a beautiful welcome. A special thank you to Samke for the wonderful body scrub and massage, it was absolutely relaxing. Big thanks as well to Mama Princess for her warmth and kindness. She went out of her way to search for my missing glasses and even found a pyjama top I had left behind 😊 such genuine care.

Close proximity to Park . Private space

No built in braai close to chalet .. but obviously away from the thatch !

Loved our week stay. It was so peaceful, and seeing all the impala, nyala, and giraffe, not to mention the plenty of birds every day was such a treat and just what the doctor ordered. If you are looking for a place to disconnect for a bit, this is the perfect place to do so. Also, every single staff member was just amazing, friendly, and 10/10 overall. What a stunning team. Thank you !

The property is in a fantastic location and is close to Hluhluwe Game Reserve’s Memorial gate. The staff at Ubizane are wonderful and welcoming, and they are very helpful. We had a delicious supper at the restaurant and were very impressed by the beautiful tree lodge facilities.

Verry nice place to stay! We loved our stay in a rondavel. Nature and surroundings are great, the accomodation is unique. Restaurant and breakfast are a+++

Loved everything about it, will definitely be back.

Big bed, very clean

Would be nice to have a braai dedicated to each unit

Really enjoyed our Christmas stay here. Very friendly and helpful staff. Even printed out a couple of documents for us. Great location for Hluluwe/Imfolozi Park. Liked the game animals that roam around the site. Our self catering accommodation was spotlessly clean and everyday housekeeping did a great job keeping it that way. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The bed was enormous and really comfy, with a really spacious mozzie net around it. Nice pool. Really enjoyed our stay here and the attention to detail was high. Would definitely recommend and would stay again if we're in the area

Don't like the gate opening system. During the day there is a gatekeeper but early or late you need to ring for the gate to be opened. One morning we were leaving for a game drive and rung for half an hour before the gate was opened for us. Very frustrating when getting up early to view game. Also in our bathroom there was a small leak somewhere around the toilet. Not a major problem as the housekeeper cleaned/mopped it up each day. And a couple of times our hot water didn't work. Again no real problem as it was hot we just had a cold shower. I'm sure if we'd told them they would have sorted it for us.

The location is very good and the lodge is very affordable

Everything is perfect

Good location relative to the Hluhlue-iMfolozi park, the room was comfortable. Being greeted by some of the impalas roaming the place when arriving was nice.

Limited food options, and very rigid in terms of having to order dinner a day in advance. And even then they were unable to accommodate a milk allergy, forcing me to drive 30 minutes to the nearest non-fast food restaurant (there’s a KFC and similar a ten minute drive away).
