Nestled in the heart of the historical Eastern Cape, where luxury meets the wild African bush, Msenge Bush Lodge provides a truly unique safari experience, offering stunning bird's eye views of the wild life interacting around the water hole, as well as views over vast flood plains and mountain ranges.
Attentive staff are eager to welcome you, ushering you into the lodge. A strange sense of familiarity and comfort basks over you as you settle into your African experience and the luxuries the lodge offers.
Offering 11 exclusive luxury, glass enclosed, thatched chalets, which flow naturally into the African bushveld, allowing you to become one with nature. Your every need is catered for in your private bush chalet. Dreamy bathrooms with magnificent views, luxury bedrooms opening onto private timber decks complete with plunge pools and outdoor showers, give you no reason to leave your chalet, except for a visit to the Spa or a Big Five game drive with knowledgeable rangers.
Head to the main lodge where you will be treated to exceptional gourmet cuisine either in the restaurant or may it even be under a star lit sky on the deck. Relax in the spacious lounge alongside the crackling fire, or watch animals grazing on the grassy plain from the main deck's magnificent vantage point. You may even be lucky enough to witness Hapoor the elephant taking a sneaky drunk from Msenge's main pool.
This is the purity of Africa. Let it filter through your soul and embrace the magic of Msenge Bush Lodge.
Offering luxurious Five star accommodation at one of two intimate and enchanting lodges. Each idyllic chalet is totally private and complete with their own pools framed by timber decks and outdoor showers...only the monkeys and the hippos will be watching you here.
Every chalet is designed and decorated using individual and natural fabrics - picking up on a different aspect of African nature and wild life, and immersing you into feeling at one with the unspoilt beauty which surrounds you.
When dining you will be treated to an array of gourmet safari cuisine, all prepared by the passionate Five star chefs, who will cater to all your individual needs.

This is the heart and soul of wildest Africa.
Visitors have the great opportunity to see a world of wonder and mystique unfolding before their eyes, under the watchful guidance of professional field guides. You'll find yourself captivated by the world of termites as your field guide forages through their mounds, or go off the beaten track, while following a pride of lion as they search for prey.
As the dust subsides in the late afternoon, settle down to a refreshing sundowner and snacks while listening to stories of the bush.
Bear witness to the abundance of new born game and shiny coated youngsters running and playing on the plains. You may even have a close encounter with Hapoor the elephant.
