Great place with amazing staff. The walk to the beach is very doable. It looks high but the pathway they created makes it very easy. Beach is simply amazing. The staff also needs mentioning. Amazing service all round.

after driving 5 min through dense forest we arrived at the reception, checked in and then went to the viewing deck which was overlooking a wide open field. The view was overwhelming.. deers, blue wildebeest, Zebras and three gIraffes were grazing in the wide expanse not more than 50m from us. The same 3 giraffes 'blocked' out path when driving the few meters to our bungalow. What an experience! The staff were super helpful. The AC wasn't properly cooking, a repair company was just on the premises and they gave them the order to right away also refill the gas on our AC unit.

It was a wonderful setting in the bush with a great restaurant serving tasty, hearty and well priced meals with friendly staff. We enjoyed the viewing deck and look forward to the completion of the revolving restaurant. The swimming pools and braai area were amazing and we loved seeing the buck on our walks around the lodge. Shannon and Enoch were very helpful and the boat cruise on the lakes was most memorable. The room was spacious and very comfortable.

This is a very well established lodge and everything worked well for us - is well maintained and owners are clearly committed to keeping it going at a high standard. Very friendly staff. It is quite 'down to earth' and does not try to impress with the more gimmicky approaches some places go for. We enjoyed watching the buck and the families of monkeys playing in the grass areas.

I have a lot of favorite places in St Lucia.

I have a lot of favorite places in St Lucia. We ate at Fisherman's, Wimpy and Baraccas. Very easy to get around St Lucia. We visited the iSimangaliso Wetlands, unfortunately a lot more can be done for conservation and to attract tourists. It is not maintained as it should be.

Town is small and only supplies the basics.

Town is small and only supplies the basics. Very little paving in town. We felt a little unsafe visiting the Spar. No restaurants or activities for kids. The park is well worth visiting but ideally with a game viewer and guide as it's very hilly and the roads are in a nad state of repair.

Sodwana is a special place - always has been. Beautiful reefs to scuba and the weather is good most of the time. It is a pity that ISimangaliso is managing this beautiful place into the ground. It is unfortunately not a new thing and has been going on for years.

Mkuze itself is a little dreary however there are game parks aplenty to choose from. We did a game drive in Manyoni which is a quick 30 mins from where we were staying. The Jozini dam is worth a visit, with its abundance of hippos, crocs and birdlife. There isn't anywhere really to eat other than at your accommodation - there is an engen and decent spa and a very good butchers in Mkhuze itself. A good stop off if driving through to Kosi Bay border to Mozam.

A day visit to Cape Vidal is definitely worth the drive. A longer stay would enable a visit to the Western shores of the St.Lucia Lake. The entire area is a natural paradise with the Hluhluwe/Umfolozi Game park nearby for day visits. The restaurants in St. Lucia are varied and mostly well priced.

Sodwana bay, that side of the beach is beautiful and safe. But for now don't book your stay at Zulu Eco lodge it's not safe. Poor lighting no security it's scary more especially at night it's horrific
