While very clean, potential of the lovely lodge is sadly let down by their lack of maintenance. Shower-heads in both our rondavels provided extremely minimal water - just getting soap rinsed off was a challenge so washing hair after a day in the bush is not an option. Bathroom door did not close due broken parts. Braai grids rusted & cooking in the kitchen was made difficult with only 1 medium frying pan, no pots, no wash-up cloths. Our one rondavel had no stove or microwave. Staff were always pleasant & arrival assistance with trolly was good, however, departure assistance was non existent. Staff need a heads-up that tips usually happen on departure. Having someone supervise these little things that make a big difference to one’s stay is vital in the hospitality industry as there are so many places one can choose from.

Absolutely amazing. As authentic as a modern day attempt to represent traditional lifestyle/culture could possibly be. This was exceptional. We do not do “cultural” shows because we find them to be shabby and touristy, but this was a valid tribute. We learned language, saw practical demonstrations, witnessed a traditional hamlet and viewed several dances. Our guide and the village hostess were excellent. We visited as part of a cruise excursion. The participants, they were not “performers”, were genuine in their attempt to proudly communicate their culture.

It was average. The staff mixed up the booking. Then sorted it out. The place is rustic. Towels are a little old

We had a great stay here. Very spacious rooms, well laid out, clean and tidy. Outsides painted in traditional tribal colours and buildings laid out in nice gardens. The staff are very friendly and helpful, being happy to help with our last minute requests.

Spent a weekend at Dumazulu. The snake tour was fantastic 👌🏻 Donald Schultz is a wonderful guide and extremely knowledgeable. He really goes the extra mile and explains in detail (well worth the money). The unit we stayed in was very clean, and staff were friendly. Over all, a great weekend and experience.

Amazing experience, neat and beautiful rooms. Staff is friendly, food was amazing and the cultural dances was absolutely entertaining! They made us take part in dances without making you feel uncomfortable Warm water, wifi and beautiful gardens. Will go back.

It is an excellent lodge with a warm and friendly staff. They just need to pay special attention to a few minor but important details like ensuring that appliances like kettle is in good working condition and the tea station is placed in such a way that it is easily seen. The bathing towels are readily displayed at the first day of arrival of new guests. Otherwise, they exceeded my expectation with everything else at such a reasonably good price. They are a 5 star lodge.
