Safari elegance<br />

Stepping down from the game vehicle and walking through the doors<br />

of mFulaWozi Wilderness’s five-star Mthembu Lodge is like being<br />

transported into a luxurious, circular-inspired bush sanctuary.<br />

Nestled on the banks of the White<br />

iMfolozi River, Mthembu Lodge is an<br />

architectural and design masterpiece.<br />

With its entire configuration based on a<br />

circular shape, it is safari elegance at its<br />

absolute best. Just a few hours’ north of<br />

Ballito, it really is the ultimate bush spoil.<br />

But there is more to this beautiful lodge<br />

than meets the eye and, even before<br />

arriving at the mFulaWozi Wilderness<br />

private game reserve, I somehow<br />

knew the experience, and our stay<br />

there, would be a special one. Not only<br />

because of its opulent and luxurious<br />

offering, but simply because of where it<br />

is situated.<br />

As the original hunting ground of the<br />

great King Shaka Zulu, there is a deeply<br />

rooted history and embodiment of the<br />

Zulu nation and spirit here. And when<br />

you arrive, it is almost tangible.<br />

Remarkably, this is also the place where<br />

iconic South African conservationist Dr<br />

Ian Player launched Operation Rhino –<br />

an initiative that ultimately saved the<br />

southern white rhino from extinction.<br />
