Emdoneni Lodge with Zululand Cat Conservation Project

Highly recommend Emdoneni Lodge in Zululand, great place to stay with friendly staff and comfortable and clean rooms with great activities included. Excellent experience at their Cat Conservation.

We spent two nights at Emdoleni and had a very comfortable stay. We were caught-out a little by the fact that the rates we were quoted didn't include any meals.

Lovely rooms, clean and fresh... spotless. Friendly staff, beautiful gardens, serene. Take your mozzie spray!

The cat encounter is absolutely outstanding. Wildcat, Caracal, Serval and Cheetah. The guides also take great pictures of you with Cheetah. You get to go into meet with Wildcat, Serval and one of the Cheetahs. Great experience. We had great time there. Must do if visiting this area.

We went back to Emdoneni for our 5th time, the 1st since Covid. They managed to retain most of the original staff and we were pleased to see so many people we remembered, and who remembered us. The cat project was educational and entertaining and it was good to be so close to the cats being looked after so well. The accommodation was perfect as usual and the food was excellent. We took the 3 night package so we got to do the hippo cruise, elephant interaction and game drive in Hluhluwe Imfolozi game reserve, as well as the cat tour. We will be back.

Fantastic room and lovely staff were highlights. Game drive was excellent and food was good. Cheetah project was a bit shabby but great to see the cats up close and the guides were knowledgeable. Boat trip nice extra if you book the 2 night package deal.
