We loved everything about the property. With only 3 suites it is very peaceful and personal, just what we were looking for. We were made to feel very special during our stay, from the moment we arrived with the short game drive from the car park to the little touches like the chocolates and Induli bracelets on our pillows and the hot chocolate with amarula after the game drive. The hot water bottles for the chilly morning game drives were another unexpected treat. We enjoyed getting to know the staff. Bulela was very knowledgeable about the animals and plants and we really enjoyed his company on the game drives. Thando looked after us very well, always there to greet us and refill our drinks. Elmarie’s food was delicious and we loved chatting to her when she came out of the kitchen. It was great to meet Matt & Anne, the owners and on one evening Matt shared a drink with us and told us all about their dream of Induli and how it came to be. We have been on several safaris and we loved this one the most. We can’t thanks the team enough for giving us such a special and memorable stay We will be back

This was an amazing experience. We went on 2 games drives a day and each time we saw new scenes! Not only the big 5 but all the other animals going about their business (buck, jackals, meerkats, zebras). Our safari guide (Abby) was very knowledgeable and also very entertaining. The room was spacious, the lodge was cosy and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful.

Beautiful lodge with stunning private Villas with an incredible outdoor pool overlooking the scenery. Hopewell is very intimate and private. Etienne and his team made us feel very welcomed and our game drives were super special and adventurous. No rush, no fixed times, no big groupes, very individual and special. We would love to come back one day!

The highlight was the tranquillity and nature of the accommodation. It is also very beautiful, stylish and cozy. We immediately felt at home. Ingrid is a brilliant hostess and gives good advice. She is very friendly and helpful. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious. Even though the access road to the lodge is a bit long, you can easily reach activities such as Addo and Schotia Safari.

The setting and the facilities were excellent. We used the Spa which perfectly complemented the Lodge. The rooms were spotlessly clean as were the rest of the facilities.

The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The food is superb and the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. They went through the trouble of making a separate meal for my partner to accommodate his food allergies. They also went to the trouble of setting up a screen and provided us with snacks to watch the rugby. We also got to see 4 of the Big 5 in one evening!

    This must be THE BEST safari lodge and wildlife experience in southern SA! The location, the staff, the guides, the food, the overall experience was absolutely superb. An added bonus was the open bar. A very nice touch indeed. We were lucky enough to meet the owners, and we can see why this place is as nice as it was :-)

    The Hlosi game lodge and the reserve were one of our highlights of our SA trips. We had a lovely very spacious house and deck with 2 bathrooms with in- and outside showers. Restaurant and deck with view to the waterhole with 2 hippos was amazing. All game drives were breathtaking and “successful”. We saw all big five (replacing the leopard by cheetahs) plus giraffes, zebras, kudus, etc. very close. It was our best location to spot many animals.

    One of many lodges in a vast safari reserve - and I mean vast. Safari drives were over three hours and we saw the big five and many many other wildlife. The all inclusive nature of the lodge was exemplary - lovely meals (although little choice) and uniquely we were offered bottles of wine to take to our rooms.

    The lodges are set in a great location and all the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The 2 safari drives per day were great with Seamus, our engaging and knowledgeable guide. Facilities and food and drink (free bar) were good. Lodges were clean and comfortable.
