We had a fantastic time at Zazu Lodge, the service was excellent and everyone at Zuzu Lodge played a part in making our experience magical. The safari drives were educational and fun; We were lucky enough to see the big 5. Thank you to the amazing team a Zuzu Lodge.

“A relaxing and most enjoyable stay.”
It was a wonderful stay and super game drives and plenty info about the animals, birds, trees and plants. All staff members friendly and helpful. The meals were all well prepared and very tasty.

“Small,and intimate camp.Delightful host and staff.Loved it.”
Leonie was a brilliant host/driver/tracker/everything! Looked after us very well, and great to see most of the big 5 on the game drives. Staff were delightful, and the food was great. Walking into the bar and having Elephant at a waterhole just over the fence was amazing.

“Perfect perfect perfect”
We had the most amazing 6 nights here, the staff are all so friendly and made us feel like family. The chef, Bianca, is so lovely and makes the tastiest meals I have ever had! After every game drive we were presented with a hot/cold towel from Trudy depending on the weather which was a lovely touch. We would also come back after the evening drives to a freshly made bed and a chocolate on the pillow! Our game driver/guide, Selby, was the best and taught us so much on the 36 hours in total we spent with him out on the drives! Leanne was also so lovely and took us out to see Jessica the Hippo which is a short drive away. Thank you to all the staff who made our trip so special!!! We will definitely be back ❤️

The property was very good, had great facilities such as a nice pool area and the honesty bar. The staff were amazing and really made us feel like family. We even went out for a meal with them on our final evening. Bianca the chef was amazing, all her meals were so good and diverse. Selby our game driver was the best we could’ve asked for, he was amazing at spotting all the animals and taught us so much, was a genuinely nice guy aswell. We already want to come back and will miss all of the staff. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do a safari. We had a perfect experience. The hospitality was amazing aswell, they really do all the little details that made our trip so good.

“Great reserve, great food, great staff and great setting. I'll give it a 10 out of 10!”
Everything exceeded my expectations, The reserve was phenomenal, the lodge and staff were great especially Leanne our game ranger. She made sure she found us the big five and much more in 2 days. The best lodge and reserve I've ever been to, we absolutely loved every minute of it.
