Itaga Lodge is located in the Mabalingwe Nature Reserve on a 12,000 ha game reserve. The reserve is a malaria-free area and home to the Big 5.
The property has 8 luxury African-style en-suite chalets. The Standard chalets have double beds with showers or baths, and the Superior Rooms feature double beds and tea- and coffee-making facilities, special bathroom facilities, bathrobes and slippers.
Each room has a private Pergola covered patio, and most rooms are fitted with private outdoor forest showers.
Itaga Lodge is home to elephants, leopards, rhinos, hippos, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, warthogs and a variety of goats and birds. Guests can enjoy an early morning- or afternoon game drive in the comfort of our open 4x4 vehicle, with their individually-contoured seats and an experienced tracker.
The thatched roof that forms the core of the main lodge has a romantically decorated dining area, an intimate living area with a distinctive fireplace, a mixed drink bar with a lookout deck that offers views of the brightly-lit waterhole, a cosy open-air forest boma and a full-day refreshment station with complimentary tea and coffee. There is also a DStv loft living area and library, a gift, craft and fashion boutique and a pool with Martini seats on a large sun deck overlooking the watering hole.
For our guests' safety and our marula trees' protection, the area around the camp is fenced with an electric game fence. The lodge also has comfortable indoor and outdoor conference facilities that can accommodate up to 16 delegates.
Itaga has a full staff complement which includes housekeepers, guides, hosts and chefs to cater to the guests' every need.

17 guests' feedbackWhere to start: Food - excellent. Safety - 5 star. Service - exceptional. Itaga is really a hidden gem where your whole body and soul can find peace. Thanks to the team for your hard work and hospitality. Would definitely come again. Anja.
Beautiful. Enjoyed our stay.
A true bush experience within easy driving distance of Johannesburg. Our chalet was comfortable with all the amenities one would expect of a five star lodge, completely private with only the sounds of the birds and the occasional browsing nyala. The lodge is small enough to offer wonderful personalised service where every wish is catered for. Special thanks to Alex our game guide and the staff of Itaga Luxury Private Game Lodge who made our stay memorable.
Thanks for the unforgettable experience.
Itaga's service is excellent, one immediately feels welcome. Breakfast stood out among the meals.
People are very friendly and helpful and hospitable. Food is excellent. Definition of tranquility in the woodland.
Rooms close to each other, hear noise next door. Bathrooms very small for 4 star accommodation. Food is excellent. Grass could be cut more neatly.
We loved our stay. Very friendly and accommodating staff.
Breakfast, lunch, high tea amazing. Supper a little disappointing, although dessert was magnificent. Nathan and his partner were an amazing host and hostess, knowledgeable, warm, friendly, hard workers!
Units and rest of premises are well maintained. Hospitality team is helpful and friendly. Food is top notch with an excellent chef. Guide who explains very nicely and instructively during game drives.
We stayed a weekend at Itaga Lodge and it was a wonderful experience. The friendliness of the staff was great. The food was outstanding and was more than enough. The game around the lodge and near the watering hole was in abundance. The rooms are also very tidy and luxurious. We will most definitely visit Itaga again.
Beautiful scenery, excellent service, fabulous food and great game drives, but the rooms could be better with a small lounge area and definitely a DSTV as there is not much to do.
The rates of the accommodation, food and drinks are with the oversees tourist in mind. Nevertheless the experience was great and the staff go out of their way to make guests feel at home.
Tastefully furnished room and lounge. Excellent service. Good location in private reserve with lots of game.
A gem hidden in the lowlands, surrounded by luxury and topped off by hospitality that will keep you coming back for a fact.
Itaga is a fantastic place, the food is a feast! Thanks to Maxwell, the chef, for the best fillet we have ever eaten! Rachelle and Liezel are just the best, they are extremely professional, friendly and have a lot of knowledge about the field and animals!
No complaints.
