Welcome to ihlathi lodge

Space to Unwind, Wildlife to Remember

Located in Kuleni Game Park in Hluhluwe, Ihlathi Lodge offers a peaceful, private bush retreat with easy access to northern KwaZulu-Natal's most loved attractions. Enjoy the moments you came away for: morning coffee on the deck, wildlife gathering at the nearby watering hole, lazy afternoons by the pool, relaxed braais with family and friends, and evenings around the firepit as the bush settles for the night.

Sleeps up to 6 guests in the main lodge (4 adults and 2 children under 12), with optional glamping tent and cabin accommodation available for larger groups at an additional cost
