Our daily game drives were mesmerising, made all the more enjoyable by the fabulous Theo! When does he sleep ? That's what I want to know. Anytime you need anything, Theo is there. He is kind, funny, and has a wealth of knowledge on all species, flora, and fauna. You can not go wrong with a trip to Zulu Rock Lodge - 5 star treatment all the way. Man, what an experience!

Cheetah Ridge Lodge

Nambiti Game Reserve

Located 27 km from Ladysmith, Cheetah Ridge Lodge is situated within the Big 5 Nambiti Private Game Reserve, which boasts the Big 5 with a variety of other species and amazing birdlife. This property features a garden and a pool. We were met by two very enthusiastic guides, Lesley and Ryan, who escorted us during our whole stay. They were extremely knowledgable, helpful and had a wonderful sense of humour. The room was fantastic; we could see wildlife from our veranda. During the drive, we always stopped for hot chocolate or other drinks. When we arrived back to our chalet, the staff had already made the fire, which was welcome in the wintery days. The food was top quality in terms of quantity and variation, and the staff were excellent. We saw almost all the animals during our stay and the only one we missed, some friends saw the following day. It is certainly well value for money. If you are driving from the south then it is well worth considering rather than driving up to Kruger if you don't have the time.
