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.
