Montusi Mountain Lodge

Montusi Mountain Lodge is in one of South Africa's most spectacular settings: the Drakensberg of KwaZulu-Natal. Indigenous wildlife flourishes in this pristine natural environment; you can spot mountain reedbuck, rhebuck, bushbuck, and eland while hiking in the mountains. Montusi is roughly halfway between Durban and Johannesburg, approximately three and a half hours.

Guests at Montusi are accommodated in 16 luxury, spacious garden or mountain suites. Each suite has an en suite bathroom and is separate from the others in a large garden. Seemingly endless views of the majestic Drakensberg are visible from every suite. All suites have a private lounge, gas fireplace, and private patio where guests can unwind and relax. The lodge features a massage room where various therapeutic massages and treatments can be enjoyed.

Montusi has a thatched-roof communal lounge where guests can unwind. Alternatively, enjoy a game of pool in the "Emeneli" bar while sipping a cocktail. On warm summer days, guests can cool off in the clear, blue waters of the swimming pool. Activities on offer include hiking, mountain bike trails, horse riding, golfing, and fly-fishing. Birders will find the bird life that graces the area fascinating. The gastronome will enjoy the delicious homemade bread and chocolates available daily. For youngsters, an adventure center is a 10-minute drive from the lodge.
