Wow, what an experience me and my partner had, from the moment we arrived to the day we left. We did three nights at Ukhozi lodge, which is a beautiful building. The communal area is cosy with sofas and a fire place, as well as a bar and a viewing platform. There is also an area to sit and have breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the food we had was lovely and was different everyday. My partner is gluten free and they catered perfectly to his dietary needs. Breakfast was a continental buffet with cooked breakfast orders. Lunch was a set menu and dinner was usually a sit down three course meal with different options. For this, me and my partner sat on a table together but on our final night we sat as our game drive group and guide which was lovely. One night was also a buffet bbq style. All the staff are attentive, welcoming and friendly and they really helped ukhozi have a relaxed, fun 5* experiance. We had a game drive very morning and late afternoon which were amazing, and our guide Ben was great. He focused on what we wanted to see and was always looking for tracks to see where the animals were. His knowledge was great and he answered all our questions. At the end of every drive, staff would welcome us with a drink. Our room had a plunge pool and view over the valley. Make sure you pack your binoculars to see the animals from the balcony. The main pool is pure luxury and we enjoyed relaxing there most afternoons. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my 30th birthday. They left me a bottle of wine, baked me a cake and sang me happy birthday, really making my experience so special.
