Located in the Manyoni Private Game Reserve in the north of KwaZulu-Natal, this intimate tented bush camp offers an open air boma, a bar and an outdoor pool with sun loungers. Featuring a patio with views over the reserve, each tent has an en-suite bathroom and is equipped with a ceiling fan and tea-and-coffee-making facilities. The expansive dining room and lounge areas offer ample space to sit and relax while the upstairs bar enjoys stunning views over the reserve. Outside, the open air boma is the ideal place to enjoy a clear African night’s sky and the swimming pool offers much needed respite on a warm Zululand day. Activities at the camp include game drives with experienced guides and bird watching. Mavela Game Lodge is situated 15 km from Mkuze Town and King Shaka International Airport is 284 km away.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.
