Along the banks of the Crocodile River, tucked within the Mjejane Game Reserve, lies a collection of luxury suites that offer more than just comfort—they offer a sense of place. At Fifty‑Five Mjejane, the experience is built around the idea of quiet exclusivity, and at its heart are the lodge’s Indlu-style suites: architecturally inspired by traditional Zulu dwellings, yet appointed with all the modern comforts you’d expect from a 5-star stay. This is where contemporary design meets cultural heritage—where guests don’t just visit the bush; they live in harmony with it.
Private, Zulu-Inspired Suites
The word indlu means “home” in isiZulu, and that meaning comes through in every detail of these uniquely styled accommodations. The lodge features six private Indlus, each one a standalone, dome-shaped suite that blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings.
Inside, each suite is outfitted with:
A king-size bed (or two singles on request)
An en-suite bathroom and dressing area
Indoor and outdoor showers, for a unique connection to nature
Air-conditioning and ceiling fans for climate control
A private entrance and furnished outdoor deck with views over the bush or river
Every Indlu is designed for comfort, privacy, and immersion in the environment—ideal for couples, solo travellers, or small groups looking for space and serenity.
A Fully Private Stay
Unlike typical lodges with shared spaces and dining rooms, Fifty‑Five Mjejane offers a more exclusive setup. When you book your stay, you and your group have the entire lodge to yourselves—no shared bookings, no unfamiliar guests.
The lodge hosts up to 12 guests across the six Indlus, making it perfect for families, friend groups, retreats, or celebrations. Whether you fill the lodge or prefer a quieter stay with just a few close companions, the space is entirely yours.
Thoughtful Amenities & Common Spaces
In addition to the individual suites, guests enjoy access to a range of shared spaces designed for relaxation and social time. These include:
A chef’s kitchen with premium finishes for self-catering
An indoor dining area and comfortable lounge
A games room and media centre for downtime between drives
Uncapped Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and full laundry service to support longer stays
The lodge encourages a relaxed, flexible pace—whether you’re cooking for yourself, arranging for a private chef, or simply enjoying a sundowner as the bush unfolds around you.
A View That’s Always Changing
Each Indlu is positioned to take in uninterrupted views of the surrounding bushveld or the Crocodile River. With private decks attached to every suite, guests can enjoy coffee at sunrise, an outdoor shower in the late afternoon, or evening drinks under the stars—all without leaving their suite.
The movement of the animals, the shifting light, and the soundtrack of birdlife create a living backdrop to your stay, one that changes hour by hour.
A Benchmark of Quality
Fifty‑Five Mjejane has been awarded a 5-star grading and recognized as a Benchmark Property, affirming its standard of excellence in both hospitality and design. This recognition reflects not only the beauty of the lodge, but also the care with which every guest experience is considered.
Whether you’re planning a special gathering or seeking a private escape, the Indlus at Fifty‑Five Mjejane offer something rare: a luxurious stay that puts you in direct contact with the land, without giving up the comforts of a premium retreat.
Here, the wild is never far—but neither is home.
