There are several activities to choose from at the lodge. Game drives are conducted in comfortable open land rovers led by professional rangers and trackers, many of whom grew up in the area. The game drives traverse twenty-four thousand acres of private and pristine land. At night, the land comes alive with many nocturnal animals whose antics can be enjoyed on a night drive. Daily bush walks are conducted by well-informed guides and provide a closer view of the bush and its animals. The lodge is also a great place for bird watching.

The main lodge features a laid-back ambience with all the comfort of deep-cushioned couches and chairs in the lounge area. An extensive library provides a book for all tastes to enjoy on the cool veranda. The main viewing deck is shaded by a leafy jackalberry tree and happens to be a great spot for watching leopards and other animals roam past on their way to the river. The boma, the traditional dining venue offers delicious food under a night sky and the warmth of a roaring fire. The wine cellar stocks a variety of vintages and boasts a large collection of South African wines. The lodge also has a full gym and a safari shop which donates 50 percent of its profits to the EsiDuini Community Trust. Babysitting services are available for those traveling with small children.
