We transferred to the Game Lodge after staying at the Heritage Lodge, the staff was equally accommodating and we thoroughly enjoyed our daily safari trips with our ranger "Maniee". The views from the pool and resturant area were breath-taking and we were presently surprised to see impala's and nyala's cruising around the campus. I definitely recommend this gaming reserve to...

I am extremely frustrated, as I have been exchanging emails with Zulu Nyala for weeks. I am simply trying to confirm when they have 6 consecutive nights available in the Game Lodge. I can not get a straight answer from them. I do not want to make an airline reservation, unless I have a room confirmation. This is a simple... More

My wife and I recently returned from 6 night stay at the Game Lodge (plus another week in Cape Town). There aren't enough superlatives in the language to adequatly describe our experience at Zulu Nyala. The accomodations/grounds are 4-star. Internet connectivity is excellent, if you need it. The setting, the people, and certainly the animals are 5-star plus! It's the... More

I just returned from my second visit to Zulu Nyala Game Lodge. On the first visit in Oct. 2010 we had an amazing time, but even more so on the second trip! If you want to see the lions you must go to Phinda which is a neighboring reserve. Also, the elephant interaction and Cheetah rehab are a must. The... More

We stayed here for our friends wedding and had a wonderful stay. The reserve is beautiful and we saw loads of animals just on the drive in! The room we stayed in was at the back of the lodge and was not as amazing as some of the other rooms (no view over the valley) but was perfectly clean and... More

We recently returned from Zulu Nyala Game Lodge and found the people, the lodge, the game drives, food excellent and would highly recommend it to anyone. We liked the game lodge so much we extended our stay there instead of moving to the Heritage Lodge. Would recommend asking for a pool room as the views are outstanding. A truly relaxing... More

We traveled from Boston and took a long layover in Paris on the way there so it took about 2 days to get there and then we stayed in Paris for a week after which broke up the trip nicely. The long flights were definitely worth the experience. I had been to Cape Town before along with a safari at... More

The staff is very friendly and helpful. We arrived around 10am and check in is at 2pm. They were more than helpful to get our room ready within 30min and we were able to check in early. While we waited for our room, we looked around in the Kiosk. It has beautiful african crafts you can buy. The room is... More

My wife and I spent a wonderful week at this remote and beautiful lodge. We flew to Johannesburg, spent 2 nights at the Country Manor outside the city under the same ownership, then flew to Durban where we rented a car for the 3-hour drive to the Game Lodge. You can fly cheaply from Johannesburg to Durban if you use... More

My wife and I won an auction item from a local fundraiser which awarded us a 6 day stay at Zulu Nyala. The flight took 30 hours door to door from Boston, but we had an unbelievable time! It was not what we expected a "safari" would be. The food was great, the accommodations and pool were beautiful and our... More
