Cup of Cheer™ Offer
Experience the Magic of Africa
Offered this year at our Cup of Cheer™ is a trip for six days and six nights for two in a beautiful part of South Africa. Travelers have their choice of accommodations at any of the following Zulu Nyala Properties:
Zulu Nyala Game Lodge: Zulu Nyala Private Game Reserve provides a unique bush experience in the heart of one of South Africa’s most diverse conservation regions. Nestled between the wilderness reserves of Mkuze, Hluhluwe and St. Lucia, this lush stretch of paradise is home to a wide variety of game, from the majestic elephant to rhino, buffalo, hippos, giraffe, the shy and beautiful Nyala buck that is endemic to the region and the secretive leopard. While it’s always a thrill to get up close and personal with some of the bigger game, don’t underestimate the magic of some of the smaller bush creatures, such as warthogs, mongoose, genets, porcupines and the ever-mischievous monkeys. The 4500 acre reserve is home to over 40 differed species of animals and a munificence of birdlife.
Zulu Nvala Heritage Safari Lodge: The Heritage Safari Lodge was originally built in the 1940’s as a hotel, and was a landmark pit-stop for weary travelers between Lourenco Marques and Durban. Acquired in 1996, the gracious building was lovingly restored to its original colonial grandeur, enhanced with new accommodations, and tastefully themed to highlight Zululand’s unique cultural development. With buffet-style meals in our restaurants, the wide, welcoming verandah and our ‘human watering hole’, the pub; the warm and relaxing atmosphere is conducive to shared good times and conviviality. The sparkling pool is always inviting, and you’re sure to enjoy browsing our beautifully stocked curio shop for a few authentic African memoirs.
