Ubizane Safari Lodge is a highly recommended KwaZulu Natal game lodge providing a wildlife experience for discerning tourists visiting Zululand.
Ubizane, Zulu for ‘the place of calling’ is situated a mere 2½ hour’s drive from Durban and is on the access road to Hluhluwe Umfolozi National Park. This 1200 hectare reserve boasts an array of wildlife, which includes white rhino, giraffe, zebra and majority of antelope, as well as over 450 bird species.
With a history spanning over 50 years, Ubizane Wildlife Reserve offers two diverse lodges. The Safari Lodge, stretched out across rolling lawns under Acacia canopies, which is our delightful family friendly self-catering lodge, ideal for breakaways from urban life with the family.
The startle of the impala, the shriek of a monkey in an Umbrella Thorn tree and the gracious sweeping movement of the giraffe as it bends down to drink from the watering hole nestled under the magnificent Amarula trees. Besides catching a glimpse of the activity at the watering hole, the rooms look up at the majestic Ubizane Hill.
A beautiful lodge with a heritage spanning over 40 years, Safari Lodge is scattered around the spacious rolling lawns dotted with aged aloes, replanted from different areas on the farm, as well as scented thorn trees providing a beautiful backdrop to the setting. Rondavel style rooms all face the constant watering hole nestled under the magnificent Amarula trees quenching in the thirst of the giraffe, zebra, nyala, impala and kudu.
There is a variety of different styled rooms at Safari Lodge, all of them with our trademark glass paneled sliding doors, allowing not an inch of nature escaping without being noticed by the guests from within the rooms.
If experiencing the BIG 5 is not thrilling enough, then experiencing them in an open game viewing vehicle through the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve will definitely get your pulse going. Our qualified field guides are excellent at what they do and passionate about the Reserve and all it animals, so they will endeavour to give you an informed and exciting game drive - one that you won’t forget.

We enjoyed the peaceful stay at the selfcatering cottage with the wildlife up to the stoep - their remains should be removed in the immediate surroundings. The accomodation was very clean. The quiet aircon helped to survive the heat. The moscitonetting needs renewal, the kitchen was adequately equipped. The daily swim in the pool was not only nice for swimming but also very good for birdwatching due to the little waterfall much used by the variety of birds to bath and drink, the water surface should be cleaned more often. The breakfast at the neighborung Tree Lodge was phantastic - huge selection of food with very nice staff and phantastic location with view upon the crocodile pond, the extraordinary Fevertreeforest around and the very good birdlife. Sorry for the language mistake at the reception, where I wanted to use my little knowledge of Zulu and saw the welcoming laugh of the lady and said uyahlupa instead of uyahleka.

Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make your stay special. The chalets at safari lodge are a bit small but there are small animals roaming all around our toddler loved especially the giraffe right outide our door. The reserve is very close to hluhluwe so you can go into that park to see the bigger animals. Really enjoyed our stay here
