My husband and I traveled with another couple to South Africa in April for two weeks, spending the first week at the Zula Nyala Heritage Tent Cottages and the second in Capetown. We couldn't have been happier with our experience. We were very glad that we had chosen the tents, as they were large, very clean and comfortable, and had... more

Taking my cue from the comments here, my husband and I initially booked three nights at the Tented Camp and three nights at the Game Lodge. We were so apprehensive about the place considering the mixed reviews. But I am happy to report that it exceeded all our expectations!!! We enjoyed the tent so much we decided to stay all... more

We were very disappointed at the accommodations, most meals and the general level of security and housekeeping... WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! Two resort locations were open.. we tried both sites.. Neither recommendable! long term maintaince seems to have come to a halt! It must have been a lovely place when first built. Guest services very minimal... but friendly! Clothing was "missing"... more

Most people we met at the Zulu-Nyala Game Lodge were there because of winning the safari trip at an auction. When we arrived we were very surprised and very disappointed at the quality of the lodge. We had to look at several rooms before we found one that was semi-acceptable. The rooms smelled of must and the beds were old... more

We purchased this holiday at auction, as it seems most others have. We were originally booked in a tent, but were attacked by mosquitos *inside* the tent the moment we walked in, so we moved to a regular room. Regular rooms are modestly decorated with tile floors, glass slider doors, simple dark wood tables and headboard. We saw the cleaning... more

We were supposed to stay here 3 nights of a 6 night Zulu Nyala safari that we purchased at an auction. We were in the Tented Cabins, which were great, nicely furnished and decorated, and away from the main buildings of the Heritage. The problem was that the place was deserted! We were the only ones staying here except for... more

Typically - I bid on an auction for our stay at Zulu Nyala. After speaking with other guests, I realized that I paid quite a lot more than most others. I had originally booked three nights in the tents and three nights in the lodge. The first night in the tent was so noisy, I asked to be moved to... more

We purchased this trip at an auction. Before our visit, I had read some of the other reviews on Trip Advisor and since they were mixed, I was not sure what to expect. We had a wonderful experience at Zulu Nyala. We stayed three nights in the Heritage Tented Camp and three nights at the Game Lodge (reviewed separately). Both... more

We bought our safari package at an auction too; in fact everyone in the four lodges available did so too. We stayed at the larger Game Lodge and the very small Nyati Lodge (in the reserve surrounded by animals roaming); others assigned to our land rover stayed in the tents at the Heritage Safari Lodge...we loved the Zulu Nyala reserve...yes,... more
