Originally built in the 1940's, at the famous watering hole along the Lourenco Marques / Durban route, this gracious old lodge was purchased by the Zulu Nyala Group in September 1996. The building has been restored to its former colonial grandeur, enhanced with a delightfully decadent ambience, and added new accommodation facilities, themed to highlight Zululand's unique cultural development.   The estate adjoins the Zulu Nyala Private Game Reserve, with all of the reserve activities such as game drives and walks available to Heritage guests. The reserve is home to abundant plains game (the shy and beautiful nyala, giraffe, zebra, blue wildebeest, impala and many more), as well as elephant, white rhino, buffalo, leopard, cheetah, hippo and a wealth of bird life. Game drives are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles, by FGASA qualified and experienced game rangers. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are both offered, each allowing a unique viewing experience as different animals are more easily seen at different times of the day.

Adjacent to the hotel is our fascinating Zulu Cultural Village, where the residents still live and practice Zulu traditions as their ancestors did a hundred years ago. A visit will expose you to traditional Zulu beer and spear making; sangomas who read your future in the bones that they throw; the Zulu version of martial arts - stick fighting; bead and basket making and the high-kicking, rhythmic Zulu dancing.

Take time our between African adventuring to relax next to our sparkling pool or in one of the bars or entertainment areas. Sundowners are a fine part of old colonial tradition that really should be observed! The Zulu Nyala Heritage Hotel also has a small library, as well as a beautifully stocked curio shop for your browsing pleasure and be sure to keep an eye out for the impala, nyala, warthog, zebra, blesbok and Zulu nguni cattle that roam freely on the property.

Also available during your stay at any of the Zulu Nyala venues, is a no obligation, private showing of diamonds, tanzanite, precious and coloured stones and set jewellery, on request. Should you be staying at the Game Lodge, the Nyati / Ndlovu Lodges, the Heritage Safari Lodge or the Heritage Tented Safari Camp, please contact Veena at hvjoory@mweb.co.za.
