Unique Zulu experience!
Clare Smit, United Kingdom

Our stay at Isibindi was brilliant with the only disappointment being that we did not book for longer! The trip to Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift was well worth it and the Zulu Boma dinner was fantastic! We will be back!

A very special place for stay. Nice view and friendly people who entertained us. Top Zulu Dancing of the Zulu school children from a nearby village. Good traditional food. We had a very nice game drive in the morning with Bruce.
Fantastic stay

The hospitality at Isibindi is superb. You are made to feel very welcome by all the staff and Darryn and Candy are very genuine. The food is excellent and plentiful and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Lovely secluded rooms make this feel like a place you can really 'escape' and unwind. We loved our stay
Highly recommended

Lodge is well run by Daryn and Candy. Rooms were comfortable with wonderful views. Food was very good, both the traditional Zulu food which was served under the stars after Zulu dancing, and the food cooked by Daryn. The Battlefields tour and the Zulu cultural experience, both run by Michael Nel, were exceptional. Both were unusual, very enjoyable and highly recommended..

Our stay was fantastic, Candy, Darren and their staff couldn't have been more helpful or attentive. The place was completely without fault, we would recommend it to anyone, and won't hesitate to return for a longer stay next time. Foy's Battlefield tour was extremely informative and entertaining, we found him the perfect host, and the Zulu evening was great in spite of a thunderstorm. All in all, possibly the best 'stay' we've had in 42 countries!!! A big Thank You to everyone.
