Rooms

Suite

Phinda Zuka Lodge has four thatched Zulu-style bush cottages. The cottages are set 15 metres apart and offer privacy, peace and quiet; each features a private veranda overlooking a waterhole.

The rooms are designed for comfort and relaxation and feature air-conditioning and en suite bathrooms - complete with a circular bath chamber, double shower and twin hand basins - with beautiful views over the wetlands.

Facilities

The facilities at Phinda Zuka Lodge are excellent. You'll have the use of a personal chef and butler and the main lodge overlooks a busy waterhole - its deep-shaded verandas and comfortable armchairs provide the perfect place for wildlife viewing.

A relaxed café-style kitchen and an intimate library make up the main living areas, a great area to return to after a day outdoors.

Other facilities include a swimming pool, internet connectivity and even a TV for the kids if you want.

Dining

Dinner can be an informal affair at Phinda Zuka where you can chat with your personal chef over a meal in the café-style kitchen.

This lodge is also known for its great bush breakfasts, served after a game drive, while another great gourmet experience is to dine out in the bush under the starry African night sky.

Traveller Reviews

Phinda Zuka Lodge

Tom Melaugh

"This was our sixth safari holiday and we have stayed in 8 different lodges and we feel that the time spent with you at Zuka was the most enjoyable and memorable of them all. This is entirely due to the team effort of the whole Zuka family."

John Kopiski

"It was great; homely and we were well looked after. The staff African dance and song evening was a great treat and a very nice touch!"
