Woodlands Private Safari Lodge

Built in 1942 this sprawling gray stone Manor House in Nambiti Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu Natal, was home to many families over the years and holds a charm matched by none other on the reserve. Set alongside a 110 year old fig tree, Woodlands Lodge is comprised of five large en suite double rooms and one family room, all decorated in either a battlefield or Big Five theme. The lodge has a homely but very special feel that takes you back to the colonial days of Natal. The lodge consists of a large formal lounge with a full-size billiard table and fireplace, a library with big screen TV, fireplace and many books to keep you entertained on those long summer nights. The Spear and Shield pub is where hours of laughter is shared over a cognac or cigar, it's also the place to watch your favourite sporting event on the large plasma screen. Dinner is either a formal affair in the beautifully decorated dining room with battlefield portraits, memorabilia and candle lights or if you so wish, under the African stars and around a crackling Boma fire where the sound of lions can often be heard in the distance. The large open verandah has a seating area and breakfast table from where you can view countless birds as they glide in and out of the beautiful fenced in gardens of the lodge. For the more active guests, the newly resurfaced tennis court is just the thing and what better way to cool down after a game of tennis than to plunge into the sparkling pool and enjoy a cocktail on your lounger.
