We visited Babanango Family Friendly Valley Lodge with 3 kids from toddler to teenage and had the most incredible experience. From the exceptional food, facilities, personal service, attention to detail and world class game drives, we didn't want to leave. Mr X our private game driver knows every inch of the reserve giving you the best possible experience. Perfect family getaway where nothing was too much effort.

The absolute best staff you will ever come across! We stayed in the Zulu Rock Lodge and had a wonderful time. Each room has an incredible view, beautiful rooms, and such thought out details. Really the staff made it all worth it. Theo was our guide and made our trip worth it completely, he was warm, welcoming, and super knowledgeable.

The staff is extremely helpful and prompt. the place is simply AMAZING. Food, huts, care, cleaning, safari. It was a unique experience and the team calls you by name, remembers your food preferences and allergies. The care is unique. The place is incredible.

Had the most amazing experience at Babanango Game Reserve seeing lions (mating!), rhinos, hippos and even incredible insects. A fascinating majority community-owned game reserve and rewilding project, only opened 4 years ago and already introduced 2,000 animals; with impressive impact on employment in the area. Beautiful surroundings, great facilities and friendly, attentive staff. We will certainly be back! Thanks especially to Henrik, our guide, who made our game drive so informative, memorable and fun.

This place place is in Northern Natal. Lovely place to be. Very big game resort. Enjoyed game drives. Very nice game guard, Athenkosi, who was responsible for us till we left. We used to stop and have snacks and drinks during our game drives.. Clean rooms with lovely linen, fire place and balcony with view to die for. Clean dining place with fire places. Delicious meals. Friendly staff. Will go back there anytime I get a chance.

The location of this reserve is absolutely beautiful, and you get a great feeling of the wilderness. Zulu Lodge is perched high up on a mountain and the view is amazing. The Lodge is well run with excellent staff. Will definitely return.
