Nothing

So close to nature and super relaxing. We had a great walk guided by Martin down to the river in the morning- a great way to start the day!! Good bird life

Got a bit cold at night. While showering water went ice cold. Could not finish showering.

The setting and facilities were all wonderful. Seeing wildlife that we had never seen before. Staff were all exceptional.

There was everything to like - no dislikes.

Loved the tented accommodation - very comfortable.

Stayed in May 2024

Can't think of anything I didn't like. The food is not gourmet but is fresh and plentiful.

The location is great and its lovely seeing the wildlife on your drive into the camp. Love the sounds of the bush from your tent overnight and in the early morning.

Stayed in March 2024

Food not 5 star but quite acceptable for the price.

Nice setup in the bush, comfortable tents. Wonderful swimming pool. Early morning walks with Martin very informative with lots of animals - nyalas, impalas, zebras, giraffes and hippos!

Stayed in January 2024

The menu could be broadened a bit, too stiff. The showers not very coordinated, very little hot water and couldn't mix, it was either cold or too hot

I loved the morning walks, Martin the guide is so passionate and enthusiastic and makes the walks very fun and educational. He is so welcoming and easy to talk to. Loved the tents and the privacy of each tent. Loved the animals and seeing them roaming freely around us

Good location for walking/running/jogging with impala, nyala & zebra and other game. Also saw hippos in the river- amazing! The facilities were excellent- luxurious camping with en suite bathroom facilities.

Nothing not to like

Beautiful location, fantastic food and staff

The staff were amazing, especially Martin the lodge manager, who went out of his way to make our stay extra special and Ntokozo who was so friendly and helpful at all times. We enjoyed the meals, all freshly prepared by Ntokozo, and the portions were more than enough. We spent many hours around the pool, which was a saving grace in the heat

Not obvious from details that you really need a 4x4 to access the property as on sand tracks which can get wet and muddy with ruts - easy to get stuck. Also no information about what to do at the electric gates. More signage on the road in as google takes you down the wrong track which is only drivable with a 4x4 so there should be a sign that states to carry on straight and not turn there

Great host - Martin - was so welcoming and helpful and great walking guide in the mornings. Even pulled me out of the mud when I got stuck in the car1 Tents were very well done and very comfy.

The Zululand is like a little Island in the Wild but completely fitting in. The Main tent, the Pool and the Panorama View are all in walking distance from the tents, however you still have your good Privacy. The Sleeping tent is is prefectly placed with the right amount of space to keep cocy but comfortable. The Washroom units are solid and hygienic. Overall good for slowing out in the wild and absolutely worth it.

Having a little table to make coffee or tea in the tents could be a nice touch but I’m not sure how it would work with the space available.

Guided walks, breakfast and dinner each day. Such a privilege to visit Zululand Lodge. I’ll definitely be back.

Nothing really. Just be prepared for no wifi or tv - but then that's what it is about.

What a great location with a great team ensuring your comfort along with good food. Martin & his team are are fantastic. From getting to the spot to, the warm reception, great food & knowledgeable walks & stories. A truly relaxing time in the bush.

Staying in the Zululand-Lodge was an amazing experience. We stayed in many, many different accommodations during our round trip through South Africa, but this one is one of the places that probably sticks to our minds the most. The camp was beautifully furnished and the tents were very comfortable. We slept very well and enjoyed being woken up by birds singing. Walking through the park and observing the hippos was magical. Martin was the most hospitable manager. He cared for us like a good friend. All in all, it was an absolutely beautiful stay and we would definitely love to come back one day!

Stayed in July 2023

Nothing I didn't like. Could proably do with another blanket / duvet in the tents and the shower water was only luke warm.

Martin was a brilliant "host" and the staff were all so helpful and accommodating. Loved the location and walk along the river. Such a tranquil spot.

Stayed in June 2023

There was nothing not to like. Wonderful staff, comfy rooms, delicious meals! It was homely and a special experience being in the bush! Loved our morning walks

Stayed in June 2023

We had the Lodge to ourselves & was off the grid so better than being somewhere with load shedding - it worked well & we could take our own drinks etc

A fan in the tents - but that's only because the humidity was so high! No fault of any bodies but Mother Nature.

Friendly staff who never were without a smile. The food was good home cooked food, extremely tasty & more than enough! A great place to relax, unwind & meet people from different part so the world. A fabulous Recharge, just what we needed.

Stayed in March 2023

All good.

It was a pleasure to not worry about cooking or anything like that. Just time to chill and enjoy the beautiful sounds of the bush and watch the animals meander past the tent. Our guide Phumzile Ncube was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time shooting the breeze around the dinner table with him. All the staff ,kitchen and housekeeping were great . Recommend highly if you want to get away from it all and unwind.

The weather was very wet but that's nature!

The location was exceptional.

Stayed in March 2023

The staff were rather off hand. The drive in was challenging on muddy unmade roads. Not too bad in a 4X4 but not recommended in a minibus - our fault!

The location was exceptional - really deep bush! Martin was very knowledgeable and engaging. The bush walk was a real experience,but the weather was against us with unseasonal rain making game viewing difficult and VERY muddy.

Stayed in March 2023

a little difficult to reach with non-4x4 car and lots of rain before - we managed anyway, but be aware:)

very peacefully situated (well, at night quite noisy with all the animals around:)), Marvin was a very, very nice and helpful manager and guide
