More than a lodge, Esiweni is a jewel hidden in the heart of Nambiti, one of South Africa\u2019s finest private reserves, between Johannesburg and Durban, at the heart of Zulu country. Nestled at the top of a cliff overlooking the Sundays River, the lodge is run by its owners, Ludovic and Sophie Caron, who left Paris in 2015 in order to (successfully) try their hand at the African adventure. Luxuriously furnished, Esiweni can accommodate 10 people in its 5 independent suites, each offering a private deck to enjoy the panorama of the surrounding savannah and bush. An experience that will be even more breathtaking from the infinity pool. \u201cWe are alone in the world when we are here<\/em>\u201d, says Ludovic Caron. \u201cBut civilization is not so far away, you only have to travel 18\u00a0miles on a track to find the road<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n
