Mkuze Falls Game Lodge is a highly recommended KwaZulu Natal game lodge providing a wildlife experience for discerning tourists visiting Elephant Coast.

About Mkuze Falls Game Lodge

Situated between the Kruger National Park and the Zululand Coast - the same Africa, a different world! Mkuze Falls is one of only two Private Game Reserves in the region where you can view the 'Big 5'.

The Mkuze Falls Big Five Private Game Reserve is beautifully situated in the heart of historic Zululand in the South African province of KwaZulu Natal. The reserve is located on land that once formed part of the 'Boer Republic', created when the pioneer leader, Piet Retief, bought the land from Dingaan, half brother of the great Zulu-king Shaka. Mkuze Falls Lodge consists of nine thatched chalets and a central lodge complex that are all built on raised wooden platforms and provide stunning views of the falls or the perennial Mkuze River and the hills beyond.

The Mkuze Falls Game Reserve is a haven to the African 'Big Five': Lion, Elephant, white and black Rhino, Cape Buffalo and Leopard. Cheetah, Hippo, Crocodile, spotted Hyena, Giraffe, Wildebeest, Zebra and numerous species of antelope are also resident in the reserve. The elusive Nyala occurs in greater numbers here, than anywhere else in the world.

What to expect at the lodge/reserve

  • All meals included
  • All of the Big 5

Accommodation

Mkuze Falls Game Lodge offers luxurious Chalets and a Honeymoon Suite.

All Suites are built on raised wooden platforms and the spacious veranda of each unit provides fantastic views of the river, the waterfall and the surrounding hills.

Facilities

The centrally located Main Lodge houses all the entertainment facilities. You will find a pleasant dining area, indoor pub and a shady terrace and swimming pool. The large lounge leads onto a spacious viewing deck which is built over the sloping riverbank. This veranda provides panoramic views of the winding Mkuze River and the wild, untamed landscape beyond.

Dining

Mkuze Falls Game Lodge employs highly experienced kitchen and waiting staff who have been trained to indulge and delight the most discerning guests. The menu varies daily and features a host of South African dishes including local venison specialities during the hunting season. Vegetarian meals are prepared on request. When the weather is fine, dinner or a South African 'braai' (barbecue) is served in the Boma, highlighted by Mkuze Falls Zulu dancers.

Safaris & Game Drives

Safaris or game drives take place in the early morning, late afternoon and early evening. The game drives are led by experienced game rangers and trained nature guides. Guests are encouraged to involve themselves in the safari experience by asking questions and interacting with their ranger. Mkuze Falls only admits a limited number of safari-vehicles to traverse the reserve at a time, no 'Bush-Rush' hours! 'Take five' in the heart of this beautiful landscape and enjoy your sundowners! You will find that the expertise of the rangers and guides is invaluable as they have an amazing ability to spot game in situations where the untrained eye sees nothing.

The trip of a life time - What can I say ... it was totally amazing. From game viewing to the service, food and lodgings it was a once in a lifetime experience. My wife and I loved every minute of the experience. We made friends and acquired memories that will last forever!
