Kuzuko Lodge

This was a 4 day stay , enabling us to do 8 game drives. We saw 4 of the big 5 and it was so well organised , with a very knowledgable guide , plus running a bar for 'sundowners' , great coffee and Aftican folk music. This in addition to making sure we saw the animals we really wanted to see as close up as is safe. The main lodge is beautiful , with high quality self contained lodges for guests , superb food and a spa and gym if that wasn't enough The staff made us very welcome , looked after us so well and made us feel special .

Amazing stay. Service was better than 5 star! The downsides were the lunch offerings which were stodgy food and not healthy. The evening meals and the staff were amazing. My partner was ill from the day after arriving here for 3 days which also made us suspicious of the meatball he ate when we arrived for lunch. He had diarrhoea and vomiting. It could have been covid, but then why did I not suffer any effects? Nevertheless, the staff were wonderful and the safari was amazing and the range was amazing.

What a gem! We are South Africans living in the UK who visited the Lodge in August 2024. Upon arrival you are greeted with drinks, a hand massage and a very friendly team. The Lodge reception is spacious yet feels intimate enough to sit and relax next to a log fire, with a drink in your hand and a book. The views are spectacular and we enjoyed amazing sunsets with a G & T. The food is delicious and very interesting. I particularly enjoyed the Spekboom salad, something that you will only ever eat here but there are always something for the pickiest eater. We were surprised with a birthday cake for my 13year old. Incredible attention to detail. Our guide, Lena, was extremely knowledgeable. Although we are used to South Africa and the wildlife, it was our children's first safari experience. We saw the big five and could sometimes sit and watch them at our leisure with Lena patiently answering all of our questions. We also saw quite a few of the lesser known game. Each game drive included yummy snacks and a drink in different locations enjoying the spectacular scenery and sunsets. It must be mentioned that seeing animals in a natural habitat includes a shap eye and a bit of patience and it is so rewarding when you find them. I have to mention the following staff who went out of their way to make our stay special, Sean, Elena, Dedrick, Yolisa and Clifford. Thanks all - we will be back. ❤️

We loved our time at kuzuko. From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel so welcome. The room was fantastic and the views were stunning. At night it was so peaceful and quiet and dark. The night sky was beautiful and I got some amazing photos of the Milky way. The food was also great. We were very lucky to have Shaun as our driver and guide on safari. He was wonderful and when we left we felt we leaving a friend behind. He has a great passion for wildlife and his knowledge was second to none. We were there for 3 days and the weather caused one of game drives to be cut very short and another delayed and almost cancelled but despite all of this Shaun managed to work though it and find us so many of the animals. We saw lions elephants, buffalo, chettas, giraffe, zebra and so many other types of antelope. I would love to return to Kuzuko some day and highly recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful multi-generational holiday at Kuzuko Lodge. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant was great; plenty of choice for vegetarians and children, and a lot of flexibility as well. Tim was an amazing guide/ driver; in spite of poor weather he took care that we saw as many animals and birds as possible, and was a mine of information, always responsive to the children and what they were interested in. The lodge is very comfortable; our rooms had an amazing view and the sofa bed for the children was fine. The fires in the main lodge were certainly welcome, as were the hot towels and chocolate each time we got back. We were lucky to have several conversations with James and greatly enjoyed hearing about how the lodge was set up; an inspirational story. The lodge was a great choice for a first safari with children ( 7 and 11) because sightings were pretty guaranteed without driving long distances and there was the option to get down from the jeep occasionally; once when we were near giraffes which was amazing.
