Welcome to

Nibela Lake Lodge

Craving a peaceful holiday that s slightly off the beaten track Located in KwaZulu-Natal s iSimangaliso Wetlands Park near Hluhluwe, Nibela Lake Lodge is ideally located to deliver a nature-based holiday with a difference. Few lodges can say that they are located on the cusp of a world heritage site. This area is blessed by the waters of Lake St. Lucia, an estuarine lake system which sustains an abundance of birds and wildlife which proves that you don t have to make your way to the Kruger to see it all. Once you arrive, you will be rewarded with your own private haven in beautifully appointed timber chalets with private balconies and lakeside views, not to mention the background cheer of birds from the surrounding canopy of trees. The main lodge offers an outdoor viewing deck, an ideal spot for sundowners served just before dinner at our Lakeview Restaurant. Venture out to explore the surrounding area of iSimangaliso. Take a boat trip on the lake, go walking, fishing, diving, biking, birding or picnicking. Enjoy game viewing on a day trip to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, or kick back and relax near the pool.
