Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Your staff are true gems. When we went to pay for the cat tour Dumisane welcomed us as if we were his long lost family. Reception was a breath of fresh air! When Bonamanzi could not take us on a game drive which we had booked prior to arriving, we phoned Emdoneni and Dumisane organized us a game drive within ten minutes of asking and Pieter was so obliging and a very informative guide indeed. Such service makes people want to return and we certainly will.

Emdoneni Lodge, the lodge that has it all. From arrival to departure, we were treated like royalty by the Emdoneni staff. We had been driving all day and were so relieved to find that Emdoneni Lodge was conveniently located, just off the highway. It was such a pleasure staying there and having such a high quality lodge to return to after each day spent exploring the Hluhluwe district. The nice shady trees, with birds singing in the background set the mood, providing us with serene shelter from the blistering sun. The swimming pool was the next treat, it felt like heaven diving into the clear blue water. Later that night we enjoyed a lovely barbeque, and what a feast it was, a meal fit for a king. Emdoneni Lodge is the perfect stop for the tired traveller. We will definitely recommend and return to this beautiful lodge. Thanks for the excellent service guys!
