Exceptional Stay at Lush Private Game Lodge! Our stay at Lush was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the amazing staff who made us feel right at home. Their attention to detail, genuine kindness, and personalized service truly set this place apart. The accommodation was absolutely stunning — beautifully designed, spacious, and perfectly blended with nature while still offering every modern comfort. Waking up to the sounds of the bush and relaxing on the private deck with breathtaking views felt like pure bliss. Every element of our stay was thoughtfully curated, from the delicious meals to the seamless safari experiences. The team went above and beyond to make sure our time here was unforgettable.

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.

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!

Difícil escolher qual funcionário é mais agradável e eficiente. Tivemos ótimos momentos na nossa estadia. Fomos acompanhados nos safaris pelo Sean, uma pessoa muito amável, que nos passou muita segurança e demonstrou muito conhecimento. Obviamente ama o que faz! Adoramos tudo e todos. Lembraremos de todos com muito carinho, assim como o sorriso largo e sincero da Phindi. Sentiremos saudades! Obrigado equipe do LUSH. Fica aqui um até breve!
