Zenzele River Lodge

Zenzele River Lodge offers diverse accommodation that caters for guests' needs, from rustic understated comfort to luxury of the finest order. 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.

Bask in front of a glowing fire in the lounge during winter, in summer cool down in the delightful plunge pool and at night, retire to one of the five ultra-luxury chalets or two luxury on-suite chalets. Zenzele River Lodge is pure unadulterated luxury, surrounded by the African wilderness. For those wanting to experience unparalleled luxury, privacy and exclusivity, surrender you to the opulence of an ultra-luxury chalet. All five chalets have been strategically positioned to ensure the best possible, unspoiled view of the Eland River and the African bush.

The chalets boast with their own private deck overlooking the Eland River, an open air bushveld shower, as well as a double shower and bath inside. All chalets have DStv, air-conditioning and mini-bars with a private lapa for real privacy. Breathtaking, exquisite beauty awaits you and that's inside your luxury room.

The lodge has eight luxury chalet, two family units and two economy rooms tastefully decorated in warm earthy tones and indigenous woods.
