Esikhotheni Private Game Reserve on Jozini Lake, is by no means primitive and

bush, on a stunning hilltop location overlooking the shimmering Jozini Lake.
Superior accommodation at Esikhotheni Lodge is offered in 7 en-suite chalets,

magnificent views over Jozini Lake. The bathrooms are very spacious with large
showers and raised oval baths with clear views of the surrounding African Bush.
The Honeymoon Suite is designed with the more romantic guest in mind, with a
private Jacuzzi set on an extended deck in the bush.
The chalets all have air-conditioning, mini bar with tea & coffee making
facilities; luxurious bath essences, lotions etc for your pleasure & comfort,
hairdryers and electronic mini-safe for safe keeping of personal items, money
etc.
Cheerful and unobtrusive staff will welcome you and add to your memories of your
stay at Esikhotheni Lodge. For them, going the extra mile is not an effort, but
a joyful habit. Owners, Dave and Elin Hagemann ensure that all guests are
carefully attended to, giving that personal touch.
Dining at Esikhotheni Lodge is an indulgence. Long lazy breakfasts are served
outside on the deck under the giant Marula tree, where guests can enjoy the view
of the Lebombo Mountains stretching along the length of the Jozini Lake.
Delectably elegant dinners - all carefully prepared and beautifully presented by
the resident chef, served either in the traditional boma around the blazing
fire, or in the lodge.
Esikhotheni Private Game Reserve offers guests an array of activities to choose
from - traditional morning and evening game drives, bush walks, Rhino tracking
