No effort is spared to make your stay at Umzolozolo an unforgettable experience.

Personal Tracker and Guide
When you arrive at Umzolozolo you will be introduced to your personal tracker and guide. He will be available to you during your stay and will escort you on twice daily game drives in an open topped 4x4 or on walks, depending on your preference. If you have a particular interest in any species, he will make it his personal mission to find it and share his in depth knowledge of African wildlife with you.

Cuisine
Our chef conjures up culinary masterpieces to delight the palate. Guests are often given the chance to sample different kinds of game as well as the more traditional dishes.

Four meals per day are served at Umzolozolo. The first is a pre morning drive snack which consists of coffee, tea and juice served with cereal and our own home made scones.
On your return you will find an assortment of cold meats, cheese, fruit, cereal and freshly baked rolls laid out on the deck with a full English breakfast cooked to order.

Lunch is served buffet style and guests can choose to eat in the dining room or on the viewing deck where the sparkling pool beckons for an afternoon swim.

The main event is dinner, served after the evening game drive. The beat of the African drum beckons guests to join us in the lounge for an aperitif before sitting down to a sumptuous meal complete with fine South African wines. If you are so inclined, cognac and cigars or your favourite liqueur will be offered following the dessert course.

African Tradition
It is customary to congregate to savour the sounds of the bush and the twinkling stars as night closes in. This tradition is observed at Umzolozolo in an enclosed boma where a blazing log fire creates an opportunity to relax and recall the events of the day enveloped in the unique sounds and smells of Africa. The sounds of tinkling ice and laughter may be joined by the majestic roar of a lion calling his pride, the cough of a leopard or the whoop of a hyena proclaiming a nearby kill.

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.
