Where do I begin? The driver who picked us up from the Richard's Bay airport was very nice and friendly, as was everyone here. But when we arrived the paperwork he had was incorrect and he took us to the wrong lodge. it was late at night and we were tired from a two-hour drive so we were in no... More

Our stay in the tents were very disappointing to say the least. Where do I start......the trains practically runs through this establishment.......right through the night! It is seriously noisy! They are currently building and there are serious construction going on. The gravel road (to Hluhluwe town) runs past this "Lodge" - most farmers, game rangers use it as a race... More

The Zulu Nyala Heritage was a bit of a disappointment for us, as we "won" it at a silent auction, and even though we paid far less than others (everyone we met had bought this trip at a fundraising silent auction), we still feel we overpaid for what our accommodation turned out to be. The best part of every day... More

You will truly experience the magic of Africa at Zulu Nyala. They have zebras walking freely! The Zulu dancers and music are mesmerizing. The game drives are incredible and the drivers are very knowledgeable and will make sure you see every animal. There was an 8 foot python on the road and our driver and another driver got out and...

We spent the weekend in the Zulu Nyala Heritage Safari Lodge Tented camp. Tents are spacious and clean with large full bathrooms. The weekend was very windy so the tent noise took some getting used to. We definitely missed having air conditioning in the tents over a very hot weekend Food in the restaurant was plentiful with a local flavour... More

Like most we went on this trip from a purchase at an auction. The accommodations were nice and the meals were good but what makes the trip is the game drives. You get fantastic guides who work very hard to make sure you have a wonderful time. James is the best but they were all great. The extra things to... More

We spent New Year 2013 (2 nights) at Zulu Nyala Heritage Safari Lodge. We had booked the "luxury" tents but on arrrival were told we had been allocated rooms. Initially we were disappointed as some other members of our party were already in the tents. We went to look at the rooms and were pleased to discover they were air... More

Our stay at Zulu Nyala included 5 nights at the Game Lodge and one day at the Tents. I wrote a separate review of the drive to Zulu Nyala under a Game lodge and it wont let me add another one. The rooms at the Game Lodge were fine. The three meals a day were plentiful and when we took... More

Evening meal was sub standard for R180 pperson. Feels like we being ripped. R800 for 2 adults and 2 kiddies. Come on guys. That's just for one meal. Don't bother, tents nice but sounds like we next to railway siding at night. Zebras nice, what I thought was a dam had building rubble in it. I think these guys are... More

This was meant to be a fabulous break away with my brother, his wife and 2 children. The tents were very nice, no fridge to keep drinks cold and as the water not safe to drink was very difficult with children who are constantly thirsty. The buffet breakfasts and dinners were lovely, but drinks were extremely expensive. The "game drive"... More
