Emdoneni Lodge with Cheetah Project and Spa is a high quality, multi-award winning four-star lodge and is situated on a small game farm, with sand forest vegetation. Guests can relax and enjoy the true South African hospitality and cuisine.

If you have ever dreamt of getting close to nature this is the place to visit! Walk on guided or non-guided tours with the wildlife including impala, zebra, nyala and grey duiker. The birdlife is also abundant in Zululand. Come and be mesmerised by the beauty of the Caracal, enchanted by the playful Serval, astonished by the speed and agility of the Cheetah and delighted by the African Wildcats.

We offer educational tours daily, with a feeding during the afternoon tour only. It is impossible to run out of things to do in this little slice of wilderness heaven. Some of the activities include visiting the cat centre, taking nature walks amongst the animals, join a game drive to the Reserve or book an activity for the kiddies whilst pampering yourself at the Spa! Emdoneni Lodge offers guests elegantly decorated, intimate and comfortable accommodation in chalets or rondavels. The chalets are spacious and elegant with an authentic atmosphere to maximise comfort. Each chalet has an en-suite bathroom and a patio with a lovely view of the garden.

The rondavels consist of 2 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. All the accommodation have tea/coffee making facilities, air conditioning, ceiling fans, free WIFI and bar fridge. The lodge also has a Honeymoon/Romantic Suite which is privately situated under Marula trees and offers great comfort and privacy. It consists of a lounge with DSTV, romantic bedroom, en suite bathroom with free standing bath leading to an outside shower in a privately fenced Boma area.

Sit and relax on your private patio with a glass of wine and watch the Zebra, Nyala and Impala roam around the cottage – ideal for honeymooners or if you are looking for a romantic weekend getaway. The accommodation is enhanced by facilities which encourage our guests to unwind, relax and enjoy the tranquil lodge surroundings, including boma, swimming pool and sky deck.
