Esiweni Luxury Safari Lodge Named Africa's Best Safari Lodge
14 September 2026
We are delighted to announce that Esiweni Luxury Safari Lodge has been named number one among Africa's 5 best safari lodges by Yonder, in its 2026 edition, ranking ahead of celebrated addresses such as Singita Lebombo (Kruger National Park), Shipwreck Lodge (Namibia), Madikwe Safari Lodge, and Tswalu Kalahari.
The feature highlights our philosophy of living at the heart of the savannah, our commitment to conservation (fully solar powered since 2025), and our close relationship with the local Zulu community, whose neighbouring Bongela village school we support.
This recognition adds to our Two MICHELIN Keys and our Relais & Châteaux membership, confirming Esiweni's place among the continent's most exceptional addresses.
