The Nguni was very pleasant, the front desk was very helpful. It had a small pool & breakfast was good, you chose from the breakfast menu & they prepare it for you. All of the staff were wonderful. You had to take a taxi everywhere since it is a bit out of town, but it was inexpensive $5usd one way into town. $10usd round trip.

Loved that it only has 14 guest rooms, beautiful garden setting and wonderful staff.
Great breakfasts, and the convenience of being able to have dinner there made it a very relaxing stay.

We stayed for one night and really enjoyed the peaceful setting of thisxlodge. A couple km away from the busyness and craziness close to the falls, this was like a little piece of heaven. Still close enough to take a cheap txi ride to the falls.
The room was very nicely decorated, the bathroom too. It was spacious and clean and the beds were very comfortable.

The staff at Nguni were fantastic. They arranged transport for us when needed (the lodge is not too far from the falls, but not walkable in the heat) and were generally very friendly and kind.

Nice place with friendly staff
The lodge is very nice. Beautiful landscaping and vegetation. The staff is super friendly. Food quite good. The one thing that could make it better would be if they had a mini-fridge in the rooms to one could have cold water.
