Description

Bonamanzi Game Park, a private South Africa game reserve, safari lodge and natural heritage site, is also one of the largest private wildlife and birding parks in Zululand.

Guests have a choice between fully catered accommodation, self catering chalets, tented accommodation or our stunning tree house. Whichever accommodation option you prefer you are assured of the ultimate in service and luxury:

The Bonamanzi Private Safari Lodge Experience

Fly into Durban for the Bonamanzi private game reserve & safari lodge experience. Local Zulu guides will introduce you to African game both big and small and some of the most endangered and rare bird species in South Africa. Bonamanzi is a Zulu name which means: “Look! Water!” Take advantage of water-based activities like a bird cruise down the Hluhluwe River and see flamingo, pelican, hippos and crocodiles at the adjoining World Heritage site of Lake St Lucia. If you want to link your Zululand Experience to a visit to the Big Five game viewing areas of Kruger Park and Swaziland, plan to visit Bonamanzi en-route to Durban and the Cape. Bonamanzi is an hour and a half’s drive from the Golela Border Post with Swaziland.

Vicky Johnson, South Africa

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bonamanzi and the accommodation and facilities were great. We stayed in Lalapanzi, but next time would book one of the tree houses and self cater. The food was a bit disappointing - sometimes not properly cooked and often cold. The bird guide, Emmanuel, was excellent.

We spent two nights at Bonamanzi. The staff were helpful and efficient, especially the front desk ladies and restaurant staff. The food had good variety and was tasty. The spa services were poor and shorter than the allocated paid-for time. The rangers were informative and the game drives were great, despite hardly seeing any wildlife. The lodge rooms were clean and with beautiful views and buck walking around the gardens.
Highly Recommended

The Bonamanzi Game Park is a superb place to stay while visiting Hluhluwe. The park is very comfortable and is filled with animals. A night drive in the park was far more fruitful than many that we have taken in Hluhluwe. Our guide, Joy, was extremely knowledgeable and effective. The dining facilities are excellent and the staff extremely friendly. We will definitely return!

We spent three nights in self-cateringTree House. Located inside a private game park, so you have wildlife just at your door step (just antelopes, gnous and warthogs). Kitchen and bathroom-shower on ground floor, rooms and living on first floor. Great base to visit the area with Hluhluwe Game reserve, St-Lucia, Dumazulu all within less than an hour drive. They offer game drives and other activities but there was not enough people for some of them. Do not expect luxury accommodation wit ... more
