Game Lodge Accommodation

Relax around the boma with a cocktail and absorb the sights and sounds of the Eland River, dine sumptuously inside or outside overlooking the densely wooded valley. Bask in front of a glowing fire in the lounge during winter, in summer cool down in the delightful plunge pool and at night, retire to one of the eight luxury chalets. Zenzele River Lodge is pure unadulterated luxury, surrounded by the African wilderness.

For those wanting to experience unparalleled luxury, privacy and exclusivity, surrender yourself to the opulence of an ultra luxury chalet. All 8 chalets at Zenzele River Lodge have been strategically positioned to ensure the best possible, unspoilt view of the Eland River and the African bush.

The chalets boast their own private deck overlooking the Eland River, as well as a double shower and bath inside. All chalets have DSTV, air-conditioning and mini-bars with a private lapa for real privacy. Breathtaking, exquisite beauty awaits you - and that's just inside your luxury room.

The lodge has 2 Luxury Suites each with two en-suite bedrooms, one double and one twin rooms tastefully decorated in warm earthy tones and indigenous woods.

Verified reviewexcellent

We had a very nice stay at Zenzele. The chalet was very nicely appointed, and we specially liked the outside shower and the fire pit with a lovely view of the river and bush. Food was simple but very good and the service from Leah was excellent. It was nice and close to Johannesburg. The only thing that marred it a bit were some noisy neighbours but they were dealt with by management. Will definitely merit and return visit from us
