Wow, what a beautiful reserve. Rock lodge is perched on top of the hill with the whole valley laid out in front. We stayed in the luxury accommodation as it was a bit further from reception and the rooms are exceptional. Very friendly staff see to your needs and delicious meals were served up. At this stage there isn’t a huge amount of game but just driving around the reserve is a treat.

I stayed at the lodge for 2 nights and I loved every part of it! We stayed in the family villa, it’s very nice and comfortable. You have a very pretty view over the game reserve from the lodge. Furthermore, the food was amazing and the staff was so nice and welcoming. We also loved the game drives with our guide Mandla, who put a lot of effort into finding as much animals as possible. You get so much value for money at this lodge!

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!
