Bonamanzi Game Reserve – your holistic paradise in KwaZulu-Natal

Hidden in the garden province of KwaZulu-Natal and spread over 4000 hectares, you’ll find paradise. Surrounded by Sand Forest and the Hluhluwe River guarding its eastern border is Bonamanzi Game Reserve. A Natural Heritage Site since 1995 visitors at the reserve have dreamed of returning for their holistic offering. Take this well-rounded experience catering to your well-being and savour paradise with Bonamanzi Game Reserve.    

Book a holistic stay with Bonamanzi Game Reserve  

Holistic offerings must appeal to all aspects of your well-being. With this in mind, Bonamanzi Game Reserve has a perfect blend just for you, starting with their accommodation. With each thatched-roof unit and unmatched views, your stay will linger in your memory long after you’ve left. Book the Deluxe Chalet or self-catering options like Nyala Lodge. Larger groups and families will adore the Bundu Rustic Camp and Family Tree House. They also offer a range of camping sites. 

Self-drive game drives and unguided walks along designated trails are welcome, but they won’t grant you access to the entire reserve. That’s why the Bonamanzi team recommends booking a guided game drive or walk. Led by experts, you’ll have the chance to witness the renowned Big 4 and fully immerse yourself in nature 

You are also highly encouraged to take a look into their conservation efforts. Through volunteering or donations, help dehorn rhinos or track leopards. Other activities to enhance your stay include a boat cruise, bush braai under the stars, and birdwatching. 

Conferences, events, and weddings  

With unrivalled views and memorising venues, they are the perfect spot for conferences, events, and even weddings. Book conferencing and events  in one of the stellar venues where up to 500 guests can be hosted. With views of rare landscapes, such as the Sand Forest, a bush wedding will create memories that will last a lifetime.  

With all their offers Bonamanzi Game Reserve truly is a holistic paradise.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!

About the Publisher, Graeme Lund

The tourism industry has been my bread and butter for most of my life.  It started with my incorporating a tour company in 1995 just as South Africa was opening to international tourism. I was the first qualified field guide in the Eastern Cape and later became the approved tour guide trainer for the region.  At various times I have owned a tourist information office, an advertising agency specializing in marketing tourism businesses,  sat on the board of directors of various tourism organisations and a been a publisher of travel magazines and websites.

Southern Africa is my home and the diversity of cultures,  scenery and fauna and flora are what make it so special.  I have a passion for exploring and have done so by driving, hiking, strolling, cycling, boating, sailing, diving and flying and know that their is still so much more to see.  

Along the way their are so many amazing places to stay and to eat and they are an integral part of what makes this such a special place. These private and public tourism enterprises play a huge part in ensuring that our natural environment remains intact.

I am a fervent conservationist.  I have served on the Board of Trustees of Bayworld and am currently a director of Bay Action Network Alliance. I believe that tourism is one of the few effective ways of protecting a dwindling natural heritage in the face of overpopulation and irresponsible and selfish exploitation of natural resources. Sadly conservation for conservation sake is as out of date as fax machines and typewriters.  Animals and conservation areas must make more money from tourism than they can from exploitation to ensure their long term survival.  It is for this reason that I love working with responsible tourism organizations around Southern Africa.
