<b>**Game drive included per night stay**</b> Imvubu Lodge, our largest and most luxurious lodge, lies on the Southern bank of the Yothu River just eight metres from the water’s edge. With a North facing aspect and large elevated timber deck it offers uninterrupted views downriver to Hippo Dam and across the water into open grasslands frequented by an abundance of bird and game species. The dam is home to a family of Hippopotami and Nile Crocodile. The crocs are often seen basking on the riverbanks while the hippos usually play in the water at dusk before venturing out to feed. Sleeping up to 10 guests in four ensuite bedrooms, conveniently separated in a 6/4 ratio by an expansive open plan living and dining area integrated into a fully equipped kitchen, this spacious self-catering lodge makes itself the ultimate home away from home for the large or extended family, multiple families, multiple singles, or a host of options in-between all wanting to relish the African Zululand wildlife experience together. With a minimum occupancy requirement of 5, you are assured of the exclusive use of the lodge for your booking party.

Just twenty kilometres (12 miles) South of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, Africa’s oldest proclaimed game park, and 160 kilometres (100 miles) North of King Shaka International Airport, lies a flourishing privately owned game reserve. Aptly named Zulweni, meaning “In Heaven” in Zulu or “Peace be Upon You” in Xhosa, this reserve offers a tranquil getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Situated in malaria free Heatonville in the heart of Zululand, Zulweni forms the Southern Region of the Greater Zululand Wildlife Conservancy (GZWC), a newly formed conglomerate game reserve. It enjoys a warm and temperate subtropical climate with an average 950mm (37 inches) of summer rainfall. The perennial Ntambanana River crossing the northern sector of this region, the Majaji running across the south, and the central Yothu, together with their several tributaries, and many dams, provide an abundance of water for the 60 mammal species, 23 reptile species, 362 bird species, 165 butterfly species, and 88 odonata species found on the reserve.
