An
architectural celebration of the Zulu nation, the
lodge is a peaceful bushveld retreat which also
offers a host of activities for our guests wanting
to experience a combination of luxurious
accommodation, gameviewing, battlefields and Zulu
cultural experiences.
Isibindi
Game Reserve
iSibindi
Zulu Lodge is situated within the 4000 acre Isibindi
Eco-Reserve which offers diverse habitats ranging
from montane grassland and valley thornveld to
riverine forests. The reserve is home to abundant
indigenous game, morning and evening game drives are
offered and there is excellent bird watching. It is
also quite safe to walk or take a picnic along one
of the meandering river beds and view Giraffe,
Zebra,Wildebeest, etc.
Battlefield tours
iSibindi
Zulu Lodge offers guided tours of the Anglo-Zulu
battlefields. Tours must be pre-booked so that
arrangements can be made with our preferred guides
to take the tours. The chilling accounts of the
battles of Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana present a
deeper insight of the rich history in the area.
Presented alongside the military narrative, a
complete picture of the impact of the Anglo-Zulu
campaign on both the Zulu and British nations is
formed.
Zulu Culture and History
Isibindi
Zulu Lodge offers the rare opportunity of learning
about the Zulu culture and traditions as they remain
in Zululand today. A Zulu Cultural Evening begins
just as the sun starts setting, casting our hills in
soft golden light. Guests are led down a narrow path
to the beat of drums. As one emerges into a clearing
comming across a historical Zulu umuzi (homestead)
the dancing bodies of Zulu men and women make for a
profound experience. The traditional dances and
their role in Zulu history and culture is explained
amid the energetic displays. A Zulu Homestead Visit
gives guests a rare chance to experience the life of
a rural Zulu family which has remained largely
unchanged over the past hundred years since Shaka
Zulu forged this mighty nation.
