Where is Royal Jozini?
Royal Jozini is in The Kingdom of Eswatini, just 10 minutes from the South African border post. Pack the car and travel across the border, easily commuting from popular South African cities, Durban and Johannesburg. The drive should take between 4 to 5 hours and you can stop at plenty of petrol stations and wimpy restaurants along the way.
We recommend driving so that you can bring your rugged all-terrain vehicle with you to enjoy leisurely game drives through the reserve. The network of roads leading to the residential zone is high quality gravel and can accommodate a sedan or hatchback vehicle, should you choose to bring one.
Foreign nationals also have the option of flying into King Mswati III International airport and hiring a car to drive to Royal Jozini.
What is Royal Jozini known for?
The heartbeat of Royal Jozini is undoubtedly Lake Jozini. This is where life erupts with animal life. Lake Jozini is the closest location for South Africans to Tiger Fish. Competitions are held annually and fishing enthusiasts visit in peak season in hopes of catching the dancing Tiger Fish.
Vast game roam the deeps of the waters and forests within Royal Jozini. At Lake Jozini, you can find herds of hippos emerging from the water, crocodiles basking on the exposed banks of the lake and elephants quenching their thirst at the water’s edge. Above the water, birds soar towards the sky and dive into the depths of the lake, searching for fish.
Building a lodge in our private reserve gives you the ultimate retreat into nature. A few minutes off the main road and you are immersed in bushveld, open-skies and views of the Lebombo Mountains stretching into the distance. The serene landscape is peaceful, and lodges are built to blend into the natural landscape of knob-thorn trees and bush.
