(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)

Winter in the bush is almost over... but there's still time to experience its magic.

Think crisp mornings, golden afternoons, incredible wildlife sightings and cosy evenings gathered around the fire under a sky full of stars.

If you've been dreaming about a safari getaway, now's the perfect time to enjoy the last of our beautiful winter season.

Book your escape today.

You're on a night drive.
The bush is dark and the only light comes from the spotlight sweeping across the landscape as your tracker scans the trees and surrounding bush.

Then suddenly, the vehicle stops.

"There's a chameleon up there."

Wait... what?

High in a tree. In the dark. Somehow spotted while the vehicle was moving.

Moments like these never fail to amaze us. Our guides and trackers have an incredible ability to spot even the smallest creatures that most of us would drive right past.

One of the things guests often tell us is how quickly KwaMbili feels like home.

With a small camp, friendly staff and shared experiences around the fire, it's easy to settle into the rhythm of bush life.

That's the beauty of an intimate safari lodge.🤎

Prefer solid walls and a little extra comfort?

Our thatched chalet offers a cosy retreat close to the heart of the lodge, making it the perfect base between game drives.

Comfort, tranquillity and the sounds of the bush just beyond your door.

"KwaMbili" means "Place of Two".

Over the years, we've come to see that meaning in many ways. The excitement of the game drive and the peace of camp. Adventure and relaxation. Wildlife and hospitality.

Two sides of the same unforgettable safari experience.

A safari is more than a holiday. It's early morning game drives, unforgettable wildlife sightings, star filled skies and moments that change the way you see the world.

The greatest riches aren't measured in things, but in experiences that stay with you long after you've returned home.

Between game drives, there's no rush.

Find a comfortable chair, open a good book, enjoy a coffee, or simply sit and watch the bush unfold around you.

At KwaMbili, relaxation isn't an activity—it's part of the experience.

The boma tells two very different stories.

By day, it's peaceful and quiet, waiting for the adventures ahead. By night, it comes alive with laughter, shared sightings, delicious meals and stories from the day's game drives.

Some of the best safari memories are made long after the vehicles return to camp.
