Pure luxury at Umzolozolo Private Safari Lodge

Umzolozolo Safari Lodge

Afro-chic is how you would describe Umzolozolo Safari Lodge. With its contemporary and tasteful décor, beautiful thatched architecture and horizon pool overlooking the Nambiti Private Game Reserve, this establishment certainly offers a unique experience for safari enthusiasts.

Umzolozolo is situated in the Nambiti Private Game Reserve, which is in the heart of the Kwa Zulu Natal Midlands, just four hours from Johannesburg, 2.5 hours from Durban and 40 minutes from the Drakensberg.

The lodge offers an unrivalled safari experience with the opportunity to view Africa’s Big 5, including the cheetah and is the perfect destination for safaris, romantic, group and family holidays as well as small weddings and honeymoons.

Experienced and enthusiastic game rangers will accompany you on game drives in open topped 4×4 game viewers, tracking the Big 5 and sharing their vast knowledge of the surrounding wildlife.

Umzolozolo is intimate and enables guests to enjoy the biodiversity of the nature reserve in peaceful privacy.

The facilities combine the thrill of the wild African bush with all the comforts of a 5-Star Hotel.

The accommodation consists of four luxurious suites, four luxury chalets and a presidential suite, with a private Jacuzzi, all secluded and free standing. The rooms are air conditioned and have large windows for a better view the wildlife. Each suite has an outdoor shower, so that guests can immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the bushveld, while taking a shower.

The lodge has expansive wooden decks and a rim flow swimming pool, so you can enjoy the magnificent views while sipping a cocktail. There is also the excellent Tulana Spa, where you can receive an array of pampering treatments from body massages to pedicures to facials, from qualified therapists.

When it comes to the food, the highly skilled in-house chef conjures up delicious dishes that would delight anyone’s palate.

Guests can enjoy four exquisite meals a day – a full English breakfast, high tea, a scrumptious dinner, as well as a pre-morning-drive spread or savoury spread on the afternoon game drive.

For those who take their Safari’s very seriously, you will be happy to know that when you arrive at the lodge, you will be greeted and introduced to your own personal tracker and guide, who will escort you on your daily game drives.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
