We recently spend 3 nights in the self catering. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and the chalet was serviced daily. Kitchen is too basic, no working area. The chalet was in need of repair.As we had continuous rain for 2 days the gutters were leaking badly onto the verandah. We saw Nyala, duiker quite a few times from the verandah... More

I've given this 5 stars rather than 4 because of the excellent service and attention to detail of the staff working here. I only stayed for one night while touring Zululand with my tour guide. Bushlands was an excellent choice on her part and an unforgettable experience. Rooms are evelvated log cabin style units connected by walkways through the bush.... More

My husband and I spent the weekend at Bushlands Game Lodge in Janauary 2012. Bushlands is made up of individual log-cabin style units. Our particular unit (No.6) was set right in the sand forest. The units are connected to one another and to the dining-room and reception area etc by raised board-walks. Our room was very comfortable and the lodge... More

We stayed here for two nights self catering, and the rooms were just fantastic. Tastefully decorated with air con in both bedrooms which get serviced daily. The lodges are clustered togethor but there is enough privacy, with sturdy boardwalks linking them all. The pool is a godsend in the hot weather! We had the buffet for one night which was... More

Cabins/lodges much as described by others - quiet, comfortable, well serviced but a little tire looking. Self guided walks very enjoyable. Saw giraffe, impala, kyala, wildebeest, zebra, vervet monkeys and thick tailed bush babies plus many birds. Game warden escorted trip to Hluhluwe game reserve itself well worthwhile. Saw buffalo, rhino, elephant, warthog, zebra, and many antelope types. Take warm,... More

The accommodation is in comfortable cabins spread over a wide area and accessed by raised walkways. The bathroom in our cabin had seen better days, but was acceptable for the 2 nights we were at Bushlands. The staff here were fantastically friendly and helpful, and the chef made special gluten-free meals for my wife.

The main lodges are built of wood and connected to each other, the reception, dining room and bar by raised wooden walkways. These are a bit rickety in parts as are the lodges - walk across the floor and things shake. The walkways are about 1.5m high and animals and birds walk underneath. Vervet monkeys can be heard clambering over... More

We had a self-catering family unit, situated close to the entrance. The unit was very spacious and luxurious. The garden with pool was very nice. However, there were not many animals to be seen. The reception and the restaurant were quite far from our unit. There were few other guests during our stay. When we dined in the restaurant we... More

After a pretty long ride on a dirt road with some deep potholes and after passing some Zulu warrior you get to the entrance of the spacious lodge. The cabin-style huts are comfortable, the bathroom way too small though. Staff is excellent, both at the front desk as well as service during dinner which we enjoyed. We stayed closest to... More
