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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Zulu Rock Lodge. The views from the lodge are beyond words as it looks out over the valley. All staff we encountered were fantastically friendly and helpful - special mention to Nomvula and Bongiwe. The food is also exceptional - there wasn’t a meal we didn’t thoroughly enjoy. Our guide, Njabulo, was the highlight of our trip. He is very knowledgeable, so friendly and his sense of humour made our trip - we couldn’t thank him enough.

This was truly one of the best bush experiences we have had to date and we have traveled the African continent extensively! From our field guide Ed who is the most knowledgeable guide to meeting the Owner and hearing his incredible story. This lodge is highly recommended the history and culture of the area is as rich as seeing the big 5. The topography of the park is truly amazing The food offering is great and they even do an evening to sample the local food which just makes for a fantastic experience!
