Bonamanzi is a Natural Heritage Site bordered by the spectacular Lake St. Lucia - a World Heritage Site - and the magnificent Hluhluwe River.

This privately owned game reserve and safari lodge is widely recognised as one of the best birding destinations in Southern Africa. Lake St Lucia and the Hluhluwe River give Bonamanzi its Zulu name, meaning "Look, Water!". Its 4000ha teams with game, and one of Bonamanzi's special features is that it provides a safe and interactive bush experience in which you can walk or drive, with or without the company of a trained field guide. To see the Big Five animals, the famous Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve is a short 20 minute drive away.

A wonderful climate prevails all year long with splendid summers and warm winter days. Set your own pace as you absorb the peaceful sounds and spectacles of three adjoining eco-systems: coastal grassland, tropical forest, and woodland. Comfortable accommodation and every facility is available to ensure that your stay is a pleasant one, be it a peaceful getaway for couples or families, or conference or wedding parties. And there are plenty of activities from horse riding, boating trips, game drives to relaxing at the pool to ensure that your every whim is catered for.

Bonamanzi is easily accessible, being just a few hours drive from the Durban airports as well as the Golela border post with Swaziland, and perfectly situated to explore the splendour of this heavenly part of the world. Come, and experience Zululand's warm and friendly hospitality at its finest - we'd love to share it with you.
