Sungulwane was absolutely incredible!
Sungulwane was absolutely incredible! The elegant lodge and room design, combined with its stunning location below the mountains, made for a perfect stay. The safari drives were mind-blowing, with astonishing sightings like a lion pride, cheetahs on a hunt, a newborn hippo, and a crash of white rhinos. The diverse wildlife and the fantastic guide Calvin made each drive unforgettable. The lodge staff were amazing, providing delicious meals and warm hospitality. Dining each night in beautiful spots around the property added to the magical experience.

Beautiful and intimate private game lodge.
Beautiful and intimate private game lodge. The suites are spacious and offer a great view of the bush. Morning showers were always accompanied by cheeky vervet monkeys swinging in the treetops just meters away. The game drives were a real pleasure. Our guide, seemed just as taken by the animals as us sharing many details about the bush and its secrets along the way. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and welcoming. We had the lodge to ourselves on the last day which allowed for greater flexibility on the drive. Highly recommend.

Munywana Conservancy
Imagine A Place Where Time Stands Still
Sungulwane Lodge is located in the impressive Munyawana Conservancy, a pioneering conservation initiative established in 1994. It spans over 30,000 hectares and integrates several private reserves creating a vast, contiguous habitat for wildlife. In 2018, Sungulwane dropped its fences and joined the conservancy, this collaboration marked a significant shift from fragmented farm lands to a unified approach to conservation. It embarked on a ambitious program to restore its ecological balance and biodiversity through the successful reintroduction of Big Five and other endangered species such as Lions, Black and White Rhinos and Cheetah. Visiting Sungulwane Lodge is to be immersed in pristine, restored wilderness, integrated with wildlife, humanity and the endeavors and successes of conservation.
