Being logist­ic­ally situ­ated ideally close to the Game Reserves and the St Lucia Wetland Park we decided that expan­sion to the Lodge was neces­sary.

Emdoneni has become our pride and joy! Our fam­ous cat pro­ject has also con­trib­uted to the main suc­cess factor as we have a heart for nature and wild­life. Emdoneni is a spe­cial place with spe­cial people! Continued
