Good family time!

We enjoyed the cave. However, there are many stairs that you have to climb to reach them, so be prepared. Our guide was interesting and knowledgeable. The tour was relatively short (45 mins). Afterward we dipped our feet into the fish spa for a ticklish...More

Interesting

The Caves are interesting to go and see and explore. Fully guided tour and not to expensive. Restaurant is very slow with service.

Very nice getaway

Very nice getaway, just for charging your batteries and spending time with family. We did a gruelling 1.7km incline (76 floors on fitbit price watch) walk from the lodge to the caves. Really not for the faint of heart.More

Thank you for your review feedback is important to us. Its important to note that walking 1.7km is a personal choice for those that enjoy brisk exercise. Almost all of our guests drive up to the cave and park in one of two large car...More

Good experience.

Thank you to Sudwala caves and Blessing for the informative tour. It’s really interesting to hear how they were developed and used by the Swazi tribes in the past. Unfortunately our guide had a very strong African accent so it was difficult at times to...More

Banging good time

I have visited the caves at different intervals in my life. The tour is consistent and informative. We loved the interaction as well as being allowed to touch the gong. The caves are quieter during winter months, but the tour is not cut short. Well...More

Well maintained, fun outing for the whole family!

We were pleasantly surprised to experience a well-maintained Dinosaur Park, which our grandsons loved, as well as enjoying our tour of the Sudwala Caves. The restaurant next to the caves has good food and stunning views.

We are traveling with dogs - is this pet friendly?

Not too sure if dogs would enjoy spending up to an hour in a cave. I love dogs and I wouldn't recommend them for the cave experience, but, yes, other activities in this area are pet friendly

How “ little “ is the stairs to the entrance

For an able bodied, regular person the stairs are not that challenging. It does have a sturdy handrail and rest benches for those that want to take it more slowly. There is an alternative route via the top car park. This is... More
