Item Description

Experience the excitement and adventure of Africa with this incredible package for two at Zulu Nyala Private Game Reserve. Zulu Nyala provides a unique and tantalizing taste of African culture in the heart of one of South Africa’s most diverse conservation regions. This small section of paradise is home to a wide variety of game, from majestic elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard to abundant plains game and over 400 species of birds.

Spend six days and six nights in your choice of luxury Hemingway-style tents or the stunning, natural-stone-and-thatch, hilltop lodge, both of which offer comfort and hospitality, with African-styled accommodations that pay tribute to the region’s magnificent ethnic heritage. During your stay, you will be served three delicious meals per day, and you will have the opportunity to go on two game-viewing trips each day, guided by your own professional ranger.

After your daily safari, take a dip in the pool or grab a drink at the bar and watch the sun set. Visit the nearby Zulu Cultural Village, where you can see people at work making baskets and colorful beadworks, or try your hand at the dramatic art of stick fighting. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, visit the mysterious Sangoma, or witch doctor, who will divine the secrets of your destiny by throwing the bones! Is a trip to Africa in your future?
