Located 27 km from Ladysmith, Cheetah Ridge Lodge is situated within the Big 5 Nambiti Private Game Reserve, which boasts the Big 5 with a variety of other species and amazing birdlife.

We had the most amazing few days at Cheetah ridge! The game drives were fantastic, we saw so many animals while also learning new things and just generally having a great time. The rooms were beautiful with a great view of the watering hole, it was lovely watching the animals from our balcony. Our food was so lovely and the range of drinks available impressive. The attention to detail, service and care from all the staff at the lodge was truly amazing and we can’t wait to come back in the future! Thank you!

Situated in the Nambiti Big 5 Game Reserve, Nambiti Hills Lodge features suites with views of the natural surroundings.

Senzo and Vusi and the other staff were super friendly. Vusi made the game drives really fun and made sure we see all the animals. I have never been so close to lions or elephants or Rhinos in the wild like how I experienced at Nmabiti. Will be back

    My stay at Farquhar Lodge was exceptional. The rooms were immaculate and well-maintained, with housekeeping ensuring they were cleaned while we were out. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bathroom facilities included both hot and cold water in the basin and shower. The lodge also provided fresh, clean towels daily. Additionally, the beautiful garden added to the overall serene atmosphere. I felt that my money was well spent and highly recommend this lodge to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    The property is very clean and the staff were very friendly. Instructions were clearly marked on the property about does and don’t. If I have another commitment in Ladysmith I know Convent Hill Lodge is a place to go to.

    This was our second stay at Buller's Rest Lodge and we had another enjoyable stay - 3 nights this time. Sisters Leeche and Chey are wonderful hosts and looked after us very well. The location is quiet and peaceful, with nice views over the surrounding countryside. The rooms are comfortable and clean and all the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is nice, with a good selection of hot and cold food. We will certainly stay here again when in Ladysmith. Great value!!
