I checked into the Lodge and immediately fell in love with the place. Wide Horizons has the most beautiful mountain views that are very hard to match. Upon my arrival in November, I walked the grounds to orientate myself and soak in the peaceful vibe and atmosphere. Beautiful long hikes and green scenery filled the place. Wildlife, indigenous trees and friendly staff are all part of the greater Wide Horizons family. Wide Horizons Mountain Retreat, reviewed as one of the best outdoor getaways in Eswatini, Southern Africa First on my agenda was to check the different rooms offered by the beautiful lodge. First was the Main Lodge that has a stunning fitted kitchen with a pantry and state of the art kitchenware. Main Lodge kitchen for self catering holidays and stays. This is also a great venue for corporate team builds and strategy session My favorite part of the Main Lodge is definitely the bedrooms that have beautiful mountain views. Many of the rooms offer a different and unique feel, each with their own theme.
