The Lodges are located in the Balule Game Reserve which is situated in the world renowned Greater Kruger National Park, a 3.5 million hectare super park, with unrivaled biodiversity.
The Ezulwini company has two lodges, namely River Lodge and Billys lodge. As the name suggests River lodge is nestled amongst the thick riverine vegetation of the Olifants river, the largest river in the Greater Kruger region. Huge sycamore fig and leadwood trees surround this intimate lodge making it the epitome of true African experience.

Billys Lodge offers a completely different experience when it comes to the lodge itself. It is set on open plains affording guests great game viewing from the comfort of their rooms or from one of the many viewing decks scattered around the lodge. Although it is a slightly bigger camp it allows you to enjoy the privacy and really take in the atmosphere of this magic place. Guests are often treated to wine tasting in the unique underground wine cellar which is carved into ancient rocks and is definitely a highlight to be experienced.

As far as game drives go, the Balule is home to the Magnificent 7 (Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant, Rhino, Cheetah and Wild dog). We also boast the highest density of giraffe of any other reserve and are also regularly treated with great plains game viewing, so guests get a very well rounded experience, add to that the knowledge and skills of our experienced field guides and trackers you have a recipe for the best safari on offer.
