"... a gentle mix of traditional Zulu Homestead and experiences, and world class hospitality ..."
Tucked away in the magnificent Mfule River Valley, in the sheltering embrace of a high cliff, you will find Simunye Zulu Lodge. Here, one can experience the fascinating cross-cultural influences that have emerged since Zulu and Western culture first interacted, back in the pioneer days.

On arrival at the old trading store, guests park their cars in a guarded security area. After receiving a short overview of the history of the area, they proceed either by horse, ox-wagon, donkey cart, on foot (or by 4x4 on request) on a 1-hour trail accompanied by a guide.

Feel the pulse of yesteryear as you journey to the secluded lodge at sunset. After sundowners and dinner, sit spellbound round the fire as Zulu legends unfold and the rhythmic drumbeat of Africa fills the night. Soak in your very own steaming rock bath and drift off to sleep in stone-walled rooms to the tranquil sounds of Zululand.

Simunye Zulu Lodge offers a gentle mix of traditional Zulu Homestead and experiences, and world class hospitality and leisure activities. Simunye Lodge is ideal for the international traveller, or a local getaway to truly rest and rejuvenate.We welcome couples, parties or groups, and most especially families as there is so much to do here at Simunye.
