Umfolozi River Lodge and Bird Park

 
 

Description

Situated in a tranquil, scenic environment with its spectacular variety of birds, Umfolozi River Lodge is situated on 25 hectares of land, which borders a private game reserve and is approximately 30 minutes from St Lucia world heritage site, Richards Bay international airport, Mapelane beach and the world-renowned Umfolozi / Hluhluwe Game Reserve. Umfolozi River Lodge and Bird Park is an ideal opportunity to escape from busy everyday life. Enjoy a variety of light meals and beverages at our restaurant. Allow us to plan your day with boat tours on Lake St. Lucia, Game drives, horse Trails, whale watching, kayaking safaris, cultural village, deep sea fishing and a choice of three golf courses nearby. Along the natural and unspoilt coastline, golden beaches stretch as far as the eye can see, lapped by warm blue waters from the Indian Ocean and bounded by the world's highest vegetated sand dunes. Whales and schools of dolphins frequent this spectacular coastline, also the natural breeding habitat for the leather back and loggerhead turtles. These waters are renowned for big game fishing and the much sought after marlin are landed here. The warm Mozambique current attracts a kaleidoscope of colourful tropical fish that feed off coral reefs.

We enjoy our stay very much and the host and hostess are very warm friendly persons. My young adult sons enjoy themselves very much, especially with all the golf courses surrounding. It is really a lovely place to find balance within you and to get all the batteries charge again. Very thanks to Florence and Ettienne and their staff.
Our stay was enjoyable.

The location of the lodge was of particular usefulness to us as we needed to travel north east to St Lucia and south to Richards Bay, so being kind of midway helped. The lodge grounds are lovely to walk around in & absorb the environment. Kids will paricularly enjoy the birds. Florence was always very helpful. Whenever we needed something she went out of her way to ensure she did what was within her means. I think she may have made all the difference to our stay.
