Billy's Lodge: Inspired by Nature
Billy's Lodge at Ezulwini has stylish decor which is inspired by the surrounding nature. The rooms, with their thatched ceilings, en-suite bathrooms, and air conditioning also feature coffee and tea making facilities. Leadwood pillars, thatched roofs, and a raised skywalk which leads to a private waterhole are the critical features of the design of the Ezulwini lodge. The open-air boma invites for delicious, traditional meals around a fire under the bright, star-studded sky.
Safari Adventures
The early morning and evening safari drives at Billy's are conducted in the Balule Nature Reserve which forms part of the Greater Kruger Park. Fantastic photographic opportunities can be enjoyed during the safari drives as well as from the viewpoints at the lodge.
A Legacy of Conservation
As a family-owned business, this played an important part in the Saad legacy and as such, Billy’s Lodge, originally the main camp, was renamed after Billy’s passing in 1998. Thereafter, River Lodge was purchased in 2002 in the hopes of expanding the Ezulwini ethos to preserve and protect the environment & its natural resources. Equally important, Laurence & Tess’s daughter Lauren, along with her husband Giles, now oversees the day-to-day operation of both lodges. Not only are they dedicated to the success of the lodges, but they are passionate about conservation & sustainability.

His dream within reach, Laurence convened the first “reserve” meeting at the old Billy’s Lodge braai area. He named the reserve after the indigenous name of the river (Balule) that flows through Olifants West and chose the “buffalo” as its logo (his favorite animal as well as the impetus for him to start the reserve). More recently, the OWNR became an independent private nature reserve, ceding ties with the Balule, in order to maintain its aims & philosophies.
