Ezulwini Game Lodges [Wednesday, July 28, 2010]
We are located in the South African Lowveld in the unrivalled Balule Nature Reserve,part of the world famous Greater Kruger National Park. This total conserved biosphere comprises some 3 million hectares of Africa at her unspoiled best - a fascinating world of indigenous bush and wildlife. The Greater Kruger National Park is unquestionably the jewel of African Game Parks and Ezulwini is certainly one of the jewels of the luxury private lodges in this park. Much of the attraction of Ezulwini Game Lodges lies in our diversity of habitats - from open savannah through mixed woodland and mountain bushveld, to the Olifants riverine forest - that not only are scenically appealing, but also host an exceptionally broad range of fauna. This includes the Big 7 comprising lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, buffalo, hippo, crocodile, as well as giraffe, zebra and all the other plains game, and approximately 460 species of birds.
Greater Kruger Park is the finest conserved wilderness area in the world. Ezulwini is in the scenic game rich central area, where close " Big 5 " encounters are common. Ezulwini has some of the best landscapes and wild life viewing in the world , combined with luxurious accommodation, great food and excellent guides. Ezulwini, "Places of Paradise" has been established for 25 years.
Africa...her spirit has been alien and aloof from that of the rest of the world, and her charm continues uncontaminated by the conventions of civilization. In her heart of hearts she is and remains wild and free. Nowhere is that mysterious presence of wild Africa felt more deeply than in the Transvaal lowveld. It remains one of the most virgin corners of this continent. The tourist who visits it will see there probably the most plentiful and wonderful collection of wild game which can today be found in the wide world. To the lover of plants it presents an almost equal attraction and in the tremendous escarpments which flank it in the mountains of Pilgrim's Rest in the west, the Barberton mountains in the south, and the Cloud mountains further north, will be found some of the most magnificent scenery of the whole African continent. But greater even than its wonderful fauna, its sub-tropical flora, its unrivalled scenery, is the mysterious eerie spirit, which broods over the vast solitude, where no human pressure is felt, where the human element indeed shrinks into utter insignificance, and where a subtle spirit, much older than the human spirit, grips you and subdues you and makes you one with itself. To those who wish to experience a thrill - a thrill which is unlike any they have ever experienced before - I venture to recommend a visit to this secluded home of the earth spirit. J. C. Smuts
