Gqoyeni Bush Lodge
Hluhluwe iMfolozi Game Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal, South AfricaThe Gqoyeni Bush Lodge, in the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park is situated on an elevated peninsula overlooking the confluence of the Black Mfolozi River and the Gqoyeni Stream in an excellent game viewing location on the Sontuli Loop. The lounge offers uninterrupted views of the sand banks and reed beds of the river which is a favoured drinking spot. The lodge accommodation consists of four, two bed reed under thatch units, each with a shower and toilet en-suite and these are linked to the lounge and dining area by wooden boardwalks. Visitor’s needs are attended to by a care taker (Avaliable office hours) and field ranger (Subject to Availability). The caretaker can assist with the preparation of meals and the daily servicing of the accommodation. The field ranger is available to take visitors on walks, these in the early mornings and late afternoons. The services of both the field ranger and caretaker are included in the tariff.
You will needs bring in all your food, drink and personal requirements. There is an open fire area and barbecue (braai) facility where guests may gather. Dine under the stars around a fire!
The water at Gqoyeni Bush Lodge is temporarily not fit for drinking. Please bring your own drinking water.
Gqoyeni Bush Lodge caters for only one group at a time, up to a maximum of eight persons, so for the period of your stay it becomes your exclusive home in the African bush.
Please note that this bush lodge does not have a perimeter fence and animals may be encountered at any time, be aware of this, especially when moving about after dark. Power is from generator for the fans and lighting whilst the fridges and stove use gas. The generator is turned off at approx 22h00. We suggest that you bring a torch for each room. Hyena in the evenings can be intimidating and monkeys scavenging during the day can be a nuisance. Do not feed any of the animals.

Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife have decided to implement a ban on visitors bringing firewood into any of their Reserves.
Visitors can still purchase firewood from the curio shop that have been safely sourced from Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer -free areas.
We are only a booking service to secure accommodation at a number of the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife park accommodation venues. We are in no way responsible for the condition of the facilities, which due to severe budgetry cuts from our Provincial Government, has resulted in a lack of general maintenance over the years, with many of the accommodation facilities severely jeopardised and in need of urgent repair or closure. The Park authorities are well aware of this inability to carry out basic necessary maintenance and are endevouring to source the necessary funds which to date have not become available. Far and Wild Safaris has no control over the allocation of units and their condition. Should you choose to visit these venues and subsequently find fault with the accommodation and or service, we are only able to forward your comments to the Park authorities. There is no compensation for this status quo should it not meet your expectation. Please contact ourselves should you require further clarification.
