The Balule Private Nature Reserve was created 12 years ago when a few enterprising farm owners decided to drop the game fences between their farms.

This has since grown into a 35,000 hectare private nature reserve with the perennial Olifants River flowing for approximately 20 km through the centre of the reserve.

Balule Private Reserve is expanding all the time, as other landowners join the initiative to become incorporated into the Greater Kruger National Park Management Area. This vast Nature Reserve is home to the 'Big Five' and is world-famous for its abundance of animals and bird-life.

Ezulwini Game Lodges are situated in the Balule Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park, which is approximately 17 kilometres from Hoedspruit, making it easily accessible from both Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa. It is approximately 5 hours' drive from Johannesburg.

Balule Nature Reserve is situated in a low malaria area, and there has been no reported cases of malaria in the last 10 years.
