Relax around the boma with a cocktail and absorb the sights and sounds of the Eland River, dine sumptuously inside or outside overlooking the densely wooded valley.

Amazing
Annie Magano, South Africa
05 December 2011
Zenzele River Lodge was amazing, nice place to visit to ease your mind. Nice dinner, nice lunch, quiet place. Incredibly amazing place to visit. We had a warm welcome, slept like babies on the most comfortable bed. Thanks again to all the people who were involved in organizing the trip for us. We had a fabulous time. Thank you.
Stunning bushveld break away

22 November 2010
Our stay at Zenzele was absolutely fantastic. Petro and her team made every effort to make us feel at home and ensure that our needs were looked after, without being imposing. The accommodation was excellent, lodge was clean and very comfortable. I mostly enjoyed the outside shower - overall my stay at Zenzele was amazing. I will definitely visit again.
Absolutely GREAT weekend
Lebogang Letlojane, South Africa
07 December 2009
A true romantic getaway indeed. Very private. Beautiful, relaxing gardens with a fantastic view of the river (Elands). The Chalet was just fabulous. The staff was really friendly too. Attended to our every need. A real must for anyone looking to getaway from the everyday stresses of modern living.
