KwaZulu-Natal is a hive for game reserves in South Africa, with over 50 private reserves spread across the province. Sitting on 1600 hectares in the Hluhluwe area amongst rolling hills and lush bush you’ll find one of these game reserves and on it—Duiker Game Lodge. This private game reserve resting in the shadows of the Ntambane Hills offers a grand experience for guests to sit back and unwind. With cosy accommodations, facilities built for comfort, and activities to keep you busy for days, don’t miss a chance to be one of the many guests wishing they could stay longer and unwind in the beauty at Duiker Game Lodge.    

Unwind in Luxurious accommodations at Duiker Game Lodge 

Surrounded by Umbrella Acacia and Fever Trees, relaxation washes over you the second you pull up to the main lodge. At the main lodge, guests wanting to experience the facilities are welcome to hang around, either resting on couches along the wrap-around verandah, in the bar lounge or the library lounge.  

The entertainment area hosts a fully stocked bar, TV with DSTV, a braai boma, a fire pit, a pool, and a library lounge. Meals can be eaten at the main lodge in the stylish dining room. Your meals may be served al fresco, where you can dine as you take in the sights of the nearby waterhole and the animals that stroll through.    

At Duiker Game Lodge, guests can choose from their selection of eight en-suite chalets. Each of these rooms, while close to the main lodge facilities, is discretely hidden in the bush, ensuring your privacy during your stay. These tastefully decorated chalets look like they are right out of a storybook. Rest in a King or Twin bed suite, which can be arranged for your preference, and take in the breathtaking views of the African Savannah. Each chalet is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay, such as air conditioning for those hot summer months, wi-fi, much-needed tea and coffee stations, a shower and bath, a mini fridge, and a hairdryer.  

In addition to these incredible amenities in each accommodation, booking a stay here means guests can enjoy a three-course dinner, full breakfast, and daily room service. Daily game drives around the reserve are included, providing you with the chance to spot some incredible creatures such as giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, jackal, genet, and, if you have a keen eye, potentially the elusive, leopard, hyena, aardvark, and other shy creatures.  

Activities in the nearby area 

The dedicated team at Duiker Game Lodge is ready to help you make the most out of your stay. Which is why, when booking, they advise you to inquire about what activities are in the nearby area so that they may help you make arrangements. 

Closer to the game lodge, all within 30 km, you can arrange, at an additional cost, to have a game drive at Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park, considered one of the oldest game reserves in Africa. Enjoy more game drives at Manyoni Private Game Reserve, or meet Rachel and Rambo, two rescued elephants at the Elephant Connections—a nearby activity. The Big Cat Conservation project allows you to see and learn about South Africa’s wild cats.   

For those who want to brave a further journey from the lodge, ranging from 40 to 80 km, Mkuze Game Reserve offers exciting tours as part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Brave the waters in search of Tiger Fish at Lake Jozini or sail on a boat cruise in St Lucia to spot the incredible creatures that make up the estuary, such as the Nile Crocodile and Hippos.   

Other activities include exploring Cape Vidal, walks along False Bay, and diving into the local culture with the local Duma Zulu Cultural Village.

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!
