About Zulweni Private Game Reserve

Zulweni Private Game Reserve is a 4.7-star rated, malaria-free eco-sanctuary located in Heatonville, KwaZulu-Natal, which forms part of the Zululand Greater Wildlife Conservancy and borders the Thula Thula Private Game Reserve. Spanning a subtropical wilderness intersected by the Ntambanana, Majaji, and Yothu rivers, the reserve is home to 57 mammal species—including hippos, buffaloes, and giraffes—and 362 bird species. For accommodation, it offers two distinct self-catering options, Imvubu Lodge (sleeping up to 10 guests) and Tamboti Forest Lodge (sleeping up to 4 guests), both of which feature private decks overlooking local dams and require guided game drives as self-driving is prohibited.
