Our top 3 videos of the week highlight the eclectic mix of videos depicting safari life at Ezulwini Billy’s Lodge and Ezulwini River Lodge. From wine pairing in a luxury cave underneath the Balule wilderness to watching a pack of wild dogs chase a leopard; Ezulwini certainly has been ear-marked as one of our top safari lodges in the Kruger.
Wine Cellar at Ezulwini Billy’s Lodge
We can’t help but love the wine cellar at Ezulwini Billy’s Lodge. Set in natural stone and reminiscent of an ancient cave, it certainly provides a unique underground escape from the world above the ground. If you’re lucky enough, Laurence (owner of Ezulwini) will introduce you to a few of his favourite wines and educate you about the history of the Balule. Here is another great clip from our “cellar collection”.
Kruger Sundowner on Paradise Deck
The Balule Nature Reserve boasts a diverse terrain of rocky outcrops, the mighty Olifants River, thorny thickets, and sandy drainage lines. Ezulwini River Lodge takes its sunsets very seriously and has constructed a rustic, elavated wooden viewing deck which takes advantage of its position. This viewing deck is reserved for the “golden hour” – the time when the sun sinks into the horizon and creates a hue of colours across the endless Kruger sky. The place is called paradise deck and you’ll need to watch the video to find out why.
Male Leopard Escapes Pack of Wild Dogs

They chased the leopard up a tree and then left the scene. Unfortunately, the excitement happened in a matter of seconds so we only managed to capture the latter part of the incident. Wild dogs are endangered, nomadic creatures and sightings are quite rare. But seeing wild dogs chase a leopard up a tree? Well, that’s just unheard of…
