GOODERSON DUMAZULU LODGE

Dear Guest Please note the Bird Park, Restaurant and Traditional Village are Closed until further notice.

At Gooderson DumaZulu Lodge in Hluhluwe there are 31 rounded ethnic huts, housing twin rooms and double rooms, arranged in a circle around a central cattle kraal to resemble a traditional Zulu village.

Exteriors are designed to reflect the different tribes of Southern Africa – Zulu, Swazi, North Sotho, Xhosa, Venda, Tsonga and Ndebele. Comfortable interiors reflect the rustic, warm colours of Africa – burnt oranges, rich reds and deep browns. Each unit includes an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, telephone and tea/coffee making facilities.
