Guests can go on guided game drives in open game viewing vehicles. For relaxation, Umzolozolo Private Safari Lodge also has a spa centre and offers massage treatments. Probably one of the best lodges I have stayed in - they really stand out in terms of hospitality and facilities. Staff is just so good, they always call you by name, personalise your whole experience. Spa experience was also very good, game drives were informative and we saw plenty of game including 4 out of big fives. It felt we were living in a movie. Just book it, it's worth it!
