The breakfast was so delicious, and I particularly appreciated the accommodation of our dietary requirements. Loved the fast and efficient service. Location of the place was perfect and easy to find. I was touched by our hosts Tessa and Gail who left their Christmas party early to welcome us.

We had a wonderful stay at Zulu Rock Lodge. It was such a beautiful and peaceful place; so good for the soul! We obviously loved seeing all of the animals, but our game drives were made all the more special by our ranger, Zondi. He was friendly, knowledgeable and sincere, and we were so sad to say goodbye to him at the end. As for the accommodation, it was utter luxury! The service was exceptional and the food was exquisite! We really hope to be able to go back again one day!

Game drives were superb and our guide, JP, was outstanding. The lodge was wonderful, with huge, very comfortable rooms and balconies, and with the wildlife passing through the grounds all the time. It was so peaceful. The staff were exceptional and could not do enough to make you comfortable. Food was excellent.

My stay at Farquhar Lodge was exceptional. The rooms were immaculate and well-maintained, with housekeeping ensuring they were cleaned while we were out. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bathroom facilities included both hot and cold water in the basin and shower. The lodge also provided fresh, clean towels daily. Additionally, the beautiful garden added to the overall serene atmosphere. I felt that my money was well spent and highly recommend this lodge to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

WE chose meals inclusive and it was exceptional. I hurt my ankle on a day walk and they arranged transport for me to the lodge. We preferred to drive ourselves to the hospitaland back. As my fall happened late afternoon we arrived just before 21h00 back. The made sure we had our outstanding supper delivered to the room
