We have stayed at over 30 Game Lodges in South Africa over the years and Lush Private Game Lodge is better by far. Their standard of service is unmatched. They are so friendly and they go above and beyond to ensure guests needs are met. The food is amazing and the game drives exceded all expectations. We can't imagine going anywhere else.

Perfect in every way

Genuinely the most beautiful accommodation I’ve ever experienced. It lives up to the reviews. I was lucky enough to stay in lodge 6 and I just wish there had been more hours in the day to spend lots of time in every indoor and outdoor section. The staff go out of their way to provide exceptional service and the food is outstanding. A special mention to Ranger Jacques, who was a brilliant guide and absolutely made the stay with his extensive knowledge, humour and care for guests.

THE BEST LODGE EVER

Where does one begin? From the minute you drive up to the wonderful smiling, welcoming, waving greeters you feel at home. Lush was the highlight of our South African vacation. Every single attention to detail shows that love, thought and care has been given. Our guide Cole was outstanding, his knowledge and passion shine through. Thank you Lush for the memories we will definitely be back.

Our Lush experience was extraordinarily “LUSH” The staff are so genuinely caring, kind and professional yet suitably personable. They all made us feel really special and our experience of lodge and game viewing proved brilliant! The lodge is luxuriously and beautifully attired. The food is gourmet and delicious. Our overall best ever safari experience!

Why look anywhere else?

Lush lodge really has no faults- and after a 4 night stay, if it did we would have found them. The building and facilities were incredible- like something out of a film. The attention to detail is second to none. Every member of staff greets you by name and seems to have any request ready before you have finished your sentence. Thank you to all the team but in particular Andrew for organising a special celebratory meal for us. A special mention must go to our ranger Ruan - not only providing us with once in a lifetime sightings, he was also knowledgable about the whole landscape, birds and trees and kept us interested in between seeing the animals. Ruan’s passion, dedication and obvious enjoyment in his job was infectious and he was always professional and respectful of the animals and environment. Thank you again James and Libby

Everything about the Lush is magnificent. We just spent 3 nights during the Easter break as part of our South African honeymoon and it was pure magic. From the rooms, to the lodge, the food to the lovely people that hosted us, Lush really exceeded our expectations. A big thanks to Gloria, Andrew, Prince and our awesome guide Des. We will definitely be back!

My partner and I stayed at Lush for two nights and cannot say enough good things about this place. It was absolutely beautiful from the location inside the Black Rhino Reserve to the decor of the entire lodge and its suites to the impeccable service and food. What a treat! The game drives were great, especially the morning ones as we saw a lot of lions and other big 5 animals. Our guide Doug was super friendly and knowledgeable-- we enjoyed spending time with him and learned quite a bit. The butler, Andrew, was super attentive and very quick with our requests for food/drinks etc. The managers-- John and Babs-- are just lovely and ensure that all the needs of their guests are met. Everyone went above and beyond. We are grateful to have ended our trip to South Africa on such a high note by spending it at Lush. We miss it dearly and cannot wait to return! Thank you so much, Lush!
