We spent 9 nights here in January 2025. From UK but we lived in Eswatini for many years and several local friends recommended this establishment as a central location for our visit. They were right! The marketing talks of serenity, peace and quiet. Accurate!. Views are spectacular. Impala, Inyala, Zebra and Warthogs wander unconcerned between the lodges adding to the ambience of the place. The 2km of dirt road leading from bustling Ezulwini town to the gate (manned 24 hours) demanded slow, careful driving because of damage caused by recent rains, but that just adds to the adventure. Recommended. We will stay there again!

A hidden gem! An amazing place with EXCEPTIONAL service. The rooms are spacious and clean, perfect for a family get away or a staycation just to recharge. Being in Ezulwini makes it easy to drive to food places as its only about 5 minutes away. The facilities have a lot of activities available for tourists that may not know what to do in the country. Breakfast is available on pre-order (day before) which gives the bed and breakfast vibe. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely be returning.

Be careful to drive into Benka through the front entrance. Waze took us through the back where the roads were impossible and the gate closed anyhow - no way in there. The last kilometre of road in our normal sedan vehicle we had to drive slowly on a gravel road. Once in at Benka it is paradise: the birdsong especially in the mornings, the beautiful scenery, zebra and buck/antelope roaming outside our room, the refreshing dip in the magnificently situated swimming pool. Benka in Ezulwini is so well located as a springboard to travel to Eswatini's terrific natural attractions and craft markets. Especially Mabundla and all of the service providers at Benka were responsive, courteous and competent. For us, Benka was a superb choice for what was a special holiday to Eswatini.

Location was tricky to find, but worked out. Once there roads were manageable and a great room awaited me. Well layed out, adequately furnished, great bed and shower. Aircon was good, parking good, views good. Will stay then again. remember self catering no breakfast. great value.

Thank you ever so much for such a peaceful break. I cannot express how the ambience of Benka Lifestyle gave me what i needed. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean and very comfortable. I will most certainly return

The place is idyllic. We rented a lodge for 4 people and were positively surprised by its size and number of bedrooms (actually for 8 pers). The park surrounding the lodge is beautiful, quiet, with large spaces and an amazing swimming pool. The well equipped kitchen allowed us to cook. We enjoyed it a lot! Eswatini was a lovely experience, with low frequency of tourism and very nice places to go to.

From booking to arrival to checkout, we had an excellent trip! We couldn’t believe it was just 20 minutes from home. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway!

I am delighted to have found Benka as I LOVE to stay in self-catering accommodation in a convenient location between Manzini and Mbabane when I visit regularly for business. The unit in the lodge was beautifully furnished and appointed, full DSTV, wifi and patio furniture provided, and to top it all, not only a Nespresso machine but a milk frother too! The surroundings are peaceful, with sounds from the pool waterfall the only distraction while impala graze on the expansive lawns. Yet it is within a five minute drive from the Ezulweni Mall where you can stock up with provisions or order take-aways. Thank you to your staff who were congenial and helpful, even washing my car for my next day's travels.
