Emthombeni set for a conference: long hardwood tables, draped ceiling, chandeliers, garden windows.

Conference facilities

Three venues across two properties, from a private thirty deep inside the reserve to a hundred and fifty with tarred access. Catering and bar at all three.

Capacities

Pick the room that fits the meeting.

Every venue includes all catering, bar facilities and breakaway group space. The one thing that genuinely differs between them is privacy against ease of access.

Around the meeting

The reserve is the reason to come here.

A conference room is a conference room. What Inkwenkwezi adds is what happens either side of it: a two-and-a-half-hour game drive through the lion reserve at 14:00, an hour on quad bikes, or a walk into an indigenous forest that exists in only three places.

Beds for 25 at Umnenga, twelve self-catering at Chintsa Sands, and the two tented camps inside the reserve for the people you most need to impress.
