"South Africa Safari @ Umzolozolo Lodge"    

South Africa Safari Lodge in Zululand.       

The Umzolozolo Lodge is situated in the spectacular Nambiti Conservancy, a 20,000 acre private game reserve in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. This malaria free area provides an unrivalled safari experience with the opportunity to view Africa's Big Five as well as cheetah and the critically endangered African wild dog.

Because Umzolozolo is a small privately owned lodge, you'll be able to enjoy the splendour of the reserve in near solitude. Experienced trackers and game rangers will accompany you on game drives in open land rovers, tracking the Big Five and sharing their vast knowledge of the surrounding wildlife with you.

At Umzolozolo, the emphasis is on personal service. Our luxury lodge caters for small groups to ensure that your safari experience is beyond expectation. Our superb facilities combine the thrill of the African bush with all of the comforts of a five star hotel.

  
Accommodation:

The Lodge features 4 luxurious suites with panoramic views. Each suite is a freestanding unit, constructed with local materials and thatch to seamlessly blend into the environment.

The air conditioned rooms are spacious and secluded with private viewing decks where guests can relax and observe the herds of zebra, wildebeest and impala as they graze below. The suites have been designed to allow maximum game viewing from every room with large picture windows looking out onto the valley. In addition to a private bathroom, each suite has an outdoor shower so that even while showering, our guests can immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of Nambiti. Showering in view of a herd of antelope or elephant is an unforgettably African experience!

Game drives
Our morning and evening game drives offer guests unparalleled game viewing opportunities in open topped Land Rovers. Our guides have an intimate knowledge of the area and the habits of the animals which ensures a rewarding experience. As trained conservationists, your guide will provide a fascinating insight into animal behaviour and habitat. On your drive, you will witness the incredible biodiversity of the area which includes savannah grasslands and thornveld as well as two magnificent waterfalls which flow into the meandering Sundays river.

Game Walks
Nothing beats the thrill of tracking wild animals on foot with an experienced guide. Game walks really immerse you into the sights, smells and sounds of the African bushveld. At a more leisurely pace, your guide will point out interesting flora, birds, insects and smaller mammals as well as the larger species.

Battlefields
The Nambiti Conservancy is situated in the heart of Battlefields country where the Anglo-Zulu and Anglo-Boer wars were fought centuries ago. A tour with a battlefield historian recreates those turbulent times with such skill that one can almost hear the troops and sense the fear and trepidation. Even non historians become enthralled by the drama of the scenes unfolding before them in the very hills where these decisive battles took place.

Drakensberg Mountains
Umzolozolo is a mere 45 minutes from the spectacular Drakensberg Mountains and one of South Africa's top golf courses. After your breakfast at Umzolozolo we can arrange for you to be driven to Champagne Sports Resort for a leisurely round of golf and still have you back at Umzolozolo for the afternoon game drive activities.

Relaxation
The pool is situated high above the valley on the viewing deck of the main lodge and offers panoramic views of the African bushveld as far as they eye can see. Crystal clear water cascades over the rim of the pool to the dam below where animals gather to drink. Guests can relax on lounge chairs under the shade of umbrellas and browse our selection of wildlife books while enjoying a cocktail or simply snooze to the sounds of bird song and gently flowing water.
