About The Lodge & The Reserve

About Inyati Private Game Reserve

Inyati is set in 65 000 hectares of unspoilt bushveld within the Sabi Sand Reserve, adjacent to the world-renowned Kruger National Park. The lodge is situated on the banks of the Sand River allowing for fantastic game viewing from the lodge. Diversity of species and relaxed big game allows for close-up game viewing and photography. With no boundary fences between the Sabi Sand and the Kruger National Park, this Reserve benefits from the great diversity of wildlife found in one of the richest wilderness areas on the African continent along with the additional benefits experienced on a private game reserve.

Inyati consists of seven luxury chalets and four executive chalets. Each air-conditioned suite features generous spaces, en-suite bathrooms with twin hand basins, separate bath, shower and w.c. The lodge accommodates 22 guests.

Inyati’s superbly positioned guest sitting and dining areas overlook the Sand River ensuring scenic vistas across the riverbed. The verandah overlooks the riverine vegetation, which is the natural habitat of the elephant and hippo. Other facilities available - the Warthog hollow bar, library, filtered swimming pool, air-conditioned gym and walk-in wine cellar. Our traditional Shangaan boma is used on nights, (weather permitting) and is a truly memorable way to experience a safari evening under the African night sky. Enjoy fine cuisine and wines while sitting near a warm crackling fire.

View Africa’s most impressive wildlife on morning and afternoon/ evening game drives in open 4-wheel drive safari vehicles with expert guides and Shangaan trackers. Guests can also enjoy interpretive guided bush walks offering the bird watcher, dendrologist, botanist and the nature enthusiast the ultimate bush experience. Game drives traverse an area of 10 000 hectares and strict vehicle limits at sightings ensure the exclusivity of your game viewing experience. Off-road driving ensures that you have the best possible view of any exceptional sighting and guides are constantly in touch with each other to keep track of animal movements.

Leopard, lion, elephant, buffalo, white rhino, cheetah, hyena, giraffe, zebra, waterbuck, hippo, wildebeest, kudu and many other mammal and bird species occur. Inyati means buffalo in Zulu, (Inyari in Shangaan) which is one of the languages of the local people, and Inyati is home to this powerful, indomitable breed.

Inyati is the ideal venue to host intimate wedding ceremonies, for conferencing and incentive group packages with teambuilding activities such as bush dinners, Big Five spotting, treasure hunts, bird watching programmes, group game drives, game walks, star gazing and swimming. Tree Tops offers the opportunity for focused meetings yet provides the setting for complete relaxation at the end of the day. The conference center overlooks the Sand river and is situated approximately 2.8km from the lodge. We cater for smaller corporate workshops, merger & acquisition meetings, and other senior management meetings of a private nature.

By Road
  • Take the N12 or N4 highway respectively to Witbank / eMalahleni (from Johannesburg Airport, follow signs to Boksburg to find the N12).
  • Follow the N4 highway past Middleburg (Toll Plaza), Belfast / eMakhazeni and Machadodorp (Toll Plaza). Follow the Schoemanskloof option on the N4 towards Nelspruit / Mbombela. At Nelspruit / Mbombela, turn left onto the R40 to White River.
  • In White River, at the first set of traffic lights in the town itself, turn left, following signs to Hazyview and Wildtuin / Kruger National Park.
  • As you approach Hazyview there is a T-Junction. Turn left at this junction. This road will take you into Hazyview Town.
  • Carry on straight through the first set of traffic lights. At the intersection with the second set of traffic lights, there will be a signpost that reads Paul Kruger Gate. At this signpost, turn Right. This road is the R536. (if you reach the Paul Kruger gate however , you have traveled too far on this road).
  • After approximately 32kms, there are signposts for Newington Gate on the left hand side of the road. There will also be signs indicating “Huntington, Lilydale & Justicia”. Turn left and follow the gravel road for 9km until you find the next Newington Gate sign.
  • Turn right and follow the road for another 3km to Newington Gate, which is where you will enter the Sabi Sand Reserve.
  • For all visitors, there is a cash entrance fee payable of R20 per person (subject to change) to enter the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which is payable at the entrance gate.
  • Self-drive visitors must ALSO pay a R110 per vehicle entrance fee, also payable in cash at the entrance gate. Please retain your receipt as proof of entrance and have it stamped at the lodge reception when you are leaving, which acts as your Exit Permit. Once inside the gate, follow the signs to the lodge through the reserve.
  • The Gates open at 05h00 / 06h00 and close at 22h00 / 23h00. Please note that these times are subject to change. The Sabi Sand Reserve is a protected reserve and therefore access is restricted - hence the gate opening and closing times.
