(Hello in our local language shangaan)

This Page is for anyone and everyone! Our past guests, future guests and people that are just interested to see what KwaMbili is all about. Here is where we post about what is happening around the lodge and on game drives. We also share some beautiful photographs to help tell our story better. It is a place for our guests to post about their stay, and add ph

otographs of what they've experienced with us. All should feel free to comment, like or even ask questions about anything they see that interests them. For those of you who haven't yet experienced KwaMbili Game Lodge, in three simple phrases, it’s an intimate, informal and ultimately a beautiful African experience. We want for you to relax and enjoy the luxuries in camp and let us share with you the wonder of the African bush. We focus on giving you a very personal experience of the bush and its wildlife by limiting the number of guests to 10 at a time. That way, you get exceptional flexibility and personal attention. We hope that you will enjoy our page!! (Thank you in our local language Shangaan)

Some of the best safari moments happen when you sit quietly and watch nature unfold.

From gentle giants stopping for a drink to birds darting across the water, the Hide offers a front-row seat to the magic of the bush.

No engines. No rush. Just the sounds of nature all around you.

Every sunrise over the bush reminds us just how precious our natural world truly is.

On World Environment Day, we celebrate the wild spaces, the wildlife and the quiet moments in nature that make places like KwaMbili so special.

At KwaMbili, conservation and respect for the environment are at the heart of every safari experience. Thank you for helping us protect these incredible spaces for generations to come.

Winter at KwaMbili means crisp morning air, steaming mugs of ranger coffee, warm blankets on game drives and unforgettable sightings in the golden bushveld light.

There’s something magical about early winter safaris — quiet mornings, low mist over the horizon and wildlife at its most active.

Who’s joining us for a cosy game drive this season?

Happy Africa Day 🌍

Africa is more than a destination — it’s a feeling. From the landscapes and wildlife to the people and stories, every moment here is deeply connected to something bigger.

We’re proud to call this place home and to share its magic with every guest who walks through our doors.

A quiet moment in the bush, where even the smallest interactions remind you how alive everything is.

We’re closing in on winter, but the bushveld days are still bringing the heat… and we’re not complaining ☀️

After a morning game drive, there’s nothing better than cooling off in the pool, surrounded by nothing but nature and the sounds of the wild.
This is your reminder that safari isn’t just about the sightings — it’s about the moments in between.

DID YOU KNOW? 👀✨
KwaMbili’s decor was originally inspired by the timeless film Out of Africa — bringing a touch of classic safari romance and old-world charm into every space.

From the textures to the tones, it’s all about creating that nostalgic, cinematic feeling… like stepping into your very own African story.
Now all that’s missing is your adventure 🌿

Not every game drive is about the Big Five… sometimes it’s the little surprises that steal the show 👀

On a recent drive, one of our sharp-eyed rangers spotted something truly unusual — a legless skink! (Don’t worry, it’s not a snake… just one of nature’s clever disguises). It’s these unexpected, blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make every safari at KwaMbili so special.

Keep your eyes open — your next game drive might just surprise you.
