Our stay At Zulu Rock Lodge was truly fantastic and the accommodation was luxurious. The environment was spectacular. The staff was exceptionally friendly and cater for all our needs. I will highly recommend this private game reserve to everyone.

We had a wonderful stay at Zulu Rock Lodge. It was such a beautiful and peaceful place; so good for the soul! We obviously loved seeing all of the animals, but our game drives were made all the more special by our ranger, Zondi. He was friendly, knowledgeable and sincere, and we were so sad to say goodbye to him at the end. As for the accommodation, it was utter luxury! The service was exceptional and the food was exquisite! We really hope to be able to go back again one day!

All the staff were super lovely, warm and very welcoming. The food was so good! Definitely 100/10 The bed extremely comfy! The best shortest sleep I had whole in KZN. The morning game drive was however unsatisfactory. The drive was very long though to get here.

C’est 5/5 pour le lodge et le personnel et 1/5 pour la réserve animalière. Ça fait donc une moyenne de 3/5. Le lodge est magnifique avec une vue incroyable. Les chambres sont parfaites. Le personnel et les repas sont excellents. Par contre , la réserve dite big five est décevante, du moins les deux jours où nous y étions : en faisant 3 safaris en deux jours, des big five, nous n’avons vus que 3 rhinos ! Aucun lion ni éléphant ni buffle et bien sûr aucun léopard. C’est donc très pauvre… Évidemment tout le restant de la faune habituelle mais en faible quantité : un seul troupeau d’impalas par exemple. Du coup, soit on n’a vraiment pas eu de chance, soit….. À bon lecteur…

The accommodation and views of the surrounding mountains and umfolozi river are breathtaking. These are truly the best sunsets. The kitchen staff and dining experience is other worldly. As the lodge is relatively small guest wise, this is reflected in the attention to detail and the very personable, friendly and professional staff. My stay was short so will definitely be back. I fully recommend Zulu rock lodge for an immersive, authentic, South African hospitality experience.
