Montusi Mountain Lodge
Situated in the Northern Drakensberg Mountain region, Montusi Mountain Lodge’s large thatched main building houses a restaurant, bar and lounge which opens to the terrace overlooking a very large natural pool and the famous Amphitheatre escarpment in the distance.
The 10 Garden Suites are detached thatched buildings, cleverly positioned for privacy and to maximize views towards the Amphitheatre. The spacious bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with separate walk-in showers and in the lounges there are television, tea and coffee-making facilities and bar fridge with fresh milk.
Fireplaces warm the suites and they all open out onto private patios. You will experience genuine hospitality with special touches in the form of home-made chocolates and bread. Self-catering, two-bedroom Family Suite cottages are also available for large groups or families.
Montusi Mountain Lodge is the perfect base from which to hike in the Drakensberg mountains and the Royal Natal National Park, visit other local sites and townships, and for horse riding and mountain biking.

We have just received the feedback form from you for our recent trip to South Africa which I will fill out shortly but I also wanted to thank you personally for organising us such a fantastic trip. The sheer variety of scenery and activities was amazing and the accommodation was uniformly excellent. We enjoyed good weather for our first few days in Cape Town allowing us get the best from Table Mountain as well as travel down to the Cape of Good Hope. A storm front did give a couple of wet days but this had little impact on our wine tasting in Franschhoek. In Hermanus we were fortunate to spot an early southern right whale as well as a humpback. We absolutely loved Montusi mountain lodge – what a view! We were also glad we visited the battlefields and the drive to Fugitive’s Drift lodge was quite enjoyable although I will never complain about potholes in the UK again. The suites at Tanda Tula were amazing and well beyond anything we have previously experienced on safari. The wildlife viewing for mammals was excellent with great sightings of lions and rhino in particular. Once again, many thanks and it’s now time for us to start our diet as we ate and drank rather too well.
