My wife and I stayed at the Heritage Safari Lodge for 2 nights and spent 3 nights at their sister property The Game Lodge between April 28th-May 3rd, 2012. Check-in to check-out both properties offered friendly personable staff, great game drives and a life of memories. The Heritage Lodge (HL): Reshmi (Front Office) & Kundzi (Bar/Restaurant) are incredibly welcoming and... More

When we arrived we were greeted with the best staff and customer service throughout our stay. We stayed in the lodges; the rooms were cozy & comfortable. We enjoyed walking out our room and being in the company of beautiful zebra's walking around the property. The staff was amazing, especially restaurant manager Kundzi who overly extended his customer service to... More

I am trying to be fair here think my stay was above average but I wouldn't go as far as to say Very Good. The place is very nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful, I just got the sense that things needed a little more TLC. Our room whilst clean was very dated and in need of... More

Nothing but kudos for this outstanding safari vacation. The people were the friendlyist we've ever encountered, the ambiance was perfect, food good and plentiful, and the game drives all I could have wished for. While I was there I suffered a small injury requiring stitches in my foot, but the staff went out of their way to make sure this... More

Zulu Nyala was everything we had hoped it would be and more. We were there in early February. We saw many animals, cheetah, elephant, hippos, rhinos, impala, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, monkeys, nyala, warthogs, crocodile, eagles, vultures, and many beautiful birds, bugs, and chameleons. This particular private reserve is 5,000 acres and so it it too small for lion - there... More

We had a great time at Zulu Nyala. We also won the trip in a charity auction, and used it to celebrate our 20 wedding anniversary. We arrived just before the New Year and spent two nights at the Heritage Lodge Tented Camp which is not on the Reserve, but is about 15 mintes away. Tents are a great experience,... More

When purchasing 6 nights at the game lodge at a charity auction, we didn't know what to expect. We couldn't have been more surprised/ pleased with the outcome. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The game drives were well done, viewing lots of animals up close and personal, but at the same time being respectful to the wildlife. The... More
