Ezulwini Billy's Lodge

Ezulwini Billy’s Lodge is located in the Big 5 Olifants West Nature Reserve in a pristine region of Limpopo Province, and offers a top class Kruger safari experience. The lodge is built on the banks of a seasonal river that brings herds of grazing animals and their predatory counterparts right to the vicinity of the lodge. The Olifants West Nature Reserve is a pristine and uncrowded reserve.

Ezulwini Billy's Lodge is a grand structure accentuated with leadwood pillars and thatched ceilings, and features a raised skywalk that leads to a private waterhole. An open-air boma and a wine cellar built into a natural rock cave with handcrafted display table add to the unique merit of Billy's Lodge.

Accommodation at Billy's Lodge is stylish and inspired by the natural elements of the Olifants West bushveld. It has high, thatched ceilings, stained-concrete floors, en-suite bathrooms, and air conditioning. All rooms also have tea and coffee facilities, while luxury suites also have mini bars.

Billy's Lodge has three luxury chalets; two of which are traditional rondavels, and a room that leads onto the pool area. There are three luxury suites, which are indulgently spacious with open-plan ensuite bathrooms, indoor bath, plus indoor and outdoor showers. Each of the luxury suites have private decks with plunge pools, sun loungers, and a view. Room service offering champagne on ice adds to the exclusive safari experience.

There is an element of space and opulence throughout the main area, extending to the superb private suites that are linked via meandering walkways. Billy’s Lodge caters to guests with a taste for sumptuousness. Meals are served in the boma around a dancing fire, in a cosy African-inspired dining room, or outside on the deck.

Sounds of the nightlife fill the air and lull you to sleep in the comfort of your safari suite before an early morning wake up call signifies the start of an exciting day in the South African bush. On-site activities include morning and evening game drives.

A recent TripAdvisor guest commented, “What an amazing experience! The Staff were outstanding! Accommodation top notch. We stayed in a deluxe suite with our own private pool and I must say there was nothing better than a nice dip after a hot game drive. Our trackers Conrad and Frans managed to track the big 5 in one game drive!! Big thumbs up”
