Amazing holiday!
We stayed here for 2 nights in July and absolutely loved every minute of it. We stayed at the presidential suite, which has a jacuzzi on the deck and indoor and outdoor shower plus indoor bathtub (relaxation to the max). What really makes this place so wonderful is the service and attention to detail. The staff are so happy, helpful and friendly, they all even learn our name. Our game ranger, Raymond, was excellent, making sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see. We were able to see 4 out of the big 5, plus cheetah with cubs! I cannot recommend this place highly enough, it is excellent in every way.

Genuinely couldn’t fault in any way
Umzolozolo is excellent in every way. The lodge is extremely comfortable and the staff are beyond helpful and friendly. We saw a lot of wildlife during our game drives and our field guide was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. The rooms are also finished to a very high standard. I would strongly recommend this lodge to anyone.

Solid option for more intimate lodge in Nambiti.
Very nice small and intimate safari Lodge. Beautiful views and lovely communal areas. Staff were friendly, attentive and did their best. Meals were ok, nothing to write home about. But these adventures live or die on the quality of the game drives and the wildlife viewing and in this regard we experienced the full range, from a STUNNING evening drive with a fantastic guide showing us lions, rhino, elephants and many others in close view, as well as other drives where we didn't see much and had a few technical problems with the vehicle.

For our wedding anniversary, we have been to Thonga bay lodge for some whale watching, snorkelled with sharks with blue wilderness adventures and ended it all with a Safari at Umzolozolo Private Safari Lodge, Exceptional stay, super staff, attention to details, homely atmosphere and mostly a professional Safari guide, thank you for a delightful memorable experience.
