Sometimes you worry about over-praising something for fear that others coming afterwards will feel that you’ve overdone it. Not here. The whole experience at Izingwe is exceptional. Just on arrival, going into the main lodge takes your breath away: both the magnificence of the lodge itself and the fabulous panoramic view of the veldt – it’s like a widescreen cinema experience. The other three sleeping lodges are also beautiful and extraordinary – you wonder how on earth Trish Wilson, the famous Texan interior designer, and her team managed to build all this way off the track 27 years ago! But what really marks Izingwe out is the personal attention you get from Marion and Angus, who have been running Izingwe for 25 years, and the exceptional nature of the drives that they take you on. They know every inch of the wonderfully varied terrain and can ‘read’ the movements of the game from day to day. This was our first stay on a game reserve but, when I compared notes with other people afterwards, I found that you can often be in a queue of vehicles to see the game ! Not at Izingwe: occasionally, there were one, or a maximum of two, other Jeeps watching at the same time as us but, most of the time, it was just us. We loved the whole experience and felt incredibly privileged to be there. My son can’t wait to go back again with some friends.

What a special time we shared with Angus, Marion and their amazing team! This was Tarryn and my first exclusive use safari experience and, wow!! Angus and Marion get the balance between providing an unrivalled experience and becoming friends just right. The lodge is beautiful and the game drives are a truly immersive experience as Angus expertly weaves conservation, Welgevonden history, flora and fauna into a rich tapestry of knowledge sharing. There is your performance review right there Angus 😂😂. A truly life changing experience and we are richer for having spend time at Izingwe.

“Exclusivity that is more affordable and relaxed”

The Frews do an excellent job to host you and make you feel at home at this beautiful lodge on an exclusive basis. It is rare to find such an experience at “affordable” rates. The lodge is well located in the South of Welgevonden, which allows for a variety of game viewing from a secluded location.
