All the staff are well trained and amazing. The place is super clean and exceeded my expectations. I stayed in the honeymoon suite, but the deluxe suites were exceptional too. The game drive was amazing; we saw animals and the most awesome sunset.

The game viewing was a bit sparse. Although the reserve offers the Big 5, perhaps they could stock up on more antelope.

This place offers outstanding service by friendly professional staff. The gourmet food is exquisitely presented and scrumptious. The location offers some of the spectacular and dramatic scenery I've seen at any game reserve. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. In winter the fireplace is an added bonus.

There wasn’t enough hot water for a bath

We had a wonderful stay at Zulu Rock Lodge. It was such a beautiful and peaceful place; so good for the soul! We obviously loved seeing all of the animals, but our game drives were made all the more special by our ranger, Zondi. He was friendly, knowledgeable and sincere, and we were so sad to say goodbye to him at the end. As for the accommodation, it was utter luxury! The service was exceptional and the food was exquisite! We really hope to be able to go back again one day!

There wasn't anything that we weren't satisfied with... it was perfect...

The view was spectacular, the staff were so wonderful, the food was next level and the overall experience was just fantastic. Such friendly people all over the Lodge are always willing to help or assist however they can. The rooms were so comfortable and well presented. The staff really made the whole experience more comfortable and relaxing. The food was more than we could imagine and there was so much of it! Definitely great value for money. 10/10 would recommend!

The game reserve is in early development. A few more years and the game should pick up.

Beautiful property with amazing potential

That no one told us of activities that the Game Reserve offers other than game drives that are included in the booking and spa treatment that we had pre-booked.

The breakfast was great, the eggs were prepared just the way i like there and there were ample vegetarian options.

Breakfast was a bit standard, some items not replaced and simple things like self service toast not offered, this may have been because there was only one 4 of us in total staying the night. The only booking options are all inclusive of safaris, would love to stay an extra night or two without two safaris on every day(even the option of just one safari per day) to fully enjoy the use of the pool, relax on the deck and just take in the views.

We had the suite with private pool, room and view were amazing. Everything within the room had been well thought out and tastefully presented. Staff were polite and friendly. Guide on the safaris, NG, was engaging and very attentive to our requests. Tried his hardest to get to see the wildlife despite the weather! Dinner was lovely, all three courses were fresh, flavourful and nicely presented.

The view! The hospitality was lovely, the staff attentive and friendly. The food was great and well presented. It is still a new game reserve so not heavily stocked but we had excellent sightings and the ability to watch lions mate and cheetahs hunt for a good length of time with no pressure from other game watching vehicles was special. Hendrick our guide has a true passion for the bush and loves imparting knowledge. Our room was luxurious and made even bad weather a delight as you got to enjoy the fireplace and rain, and the private pool was a treat on a hot day. My only build ( I’m not putting it as a dislike as the meal was perfectly lovely) but even when there are only two guests, there should always be a limited choice for dinner - even two options. You never know what you feel like on the day and I think selecting at lunch will give ample time to prepare

Honestly Nothing, they met almost all our expectations.

The food was delicious ( breakfast, lunch and dinner). They met our expectations. The hospitality we received from the staff was exceptional. We had the best experience ever.

The views from our room were great.

there is nothing not to like, everything was perfect in every detail

Our stay at Babanango Game reserve at the Madwaleni River lodge and Zulu Rock Lodge was an experience we will never forget. The Lodge is a fantastic " tent" with all the comfort you can imagine. Our Diner was served as a private dinner at the libary, in the winecellar and other places. We also had a suprise breakfast outdoors in the wild, absolutly fantastic. Under the guidance of one of the best experts, mr Eduan Balt, we enjoyed the gamedrives in the morning and afternoon. We never learned so much during all those gamedrives in our whole life. Special thanks to Lungelo, Lunka and Ntombi and everyone of the staff , they were all very friendly and forthcoming, This was a once in a lifetime experience.

Everything about Zulu Rock is phenomenal! Just gorgeous. Completely surrounded by nature. The game drives were out of this world. Theo was so knowledgeable and lovely to be with (We even witnessed the most thrilling kill) lol! The food!!! The food!!! Huge shout out to the Chefs! Did not a single bad meal, it was too good! The attention to detail in ALL things. WoW! The amazing staff! I honestly cannot recommend it enough! Absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to go back!
