Intibane Lodge is home to a variety of game, including giraffe, zebra, kudu, duiker, jackal, hyena, impala, bushpig, waterbuck, reedbuck, a large variety of birds, and our famous warthogs, after which the lodge was named in the isiZulu translation. The lodge is a new luxury destination, built with thoughtful care and research towards nature. A striking location was carefully picked by the owners, overlooking the neighbouring hills of Emakhosini Ophathe Game Reserve allowing animals to be viewed either on the farm or from the comfort of your verandah.

Other facilities include a communal barbecue area, on-site parking, a lodge shop for all your basic needs, and laundry facilities on request. In addition, there is also a swimming pool overlooking a nearby water hole, making for some interesting sightings.

Situated in close proximity to well-known Zulu culture and heritage sites, Intibane offers the ideal venue to minimize driving and spend more time observing and experiencing our rich Zulu culture. At Intibane, we offer the option of an early morning or late afternoon game walk. Our trails are also mountain bike friendly, and guests should feel free to either bring along their own bikes or rent the ones we have here.
