Inzalo Safari Lodge is a luxurious tented haven in the spectacular ‘Big Five’ Welgevonden Game Reserve, a 34,000 hectare malaria-free protected wilderness within the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere. Privately owned and managed, Inzalo offers the opportunity to escape, explore and immerse oneself in the heart of the African bush.
The surrounding area of Inzalo Safari Lodge is characterised by a diversity of mountainous cliffs, low valleys, open grasslands and ancient red beds that are cleaved and parted by crystal clear streams and rivers. The biodiversity provides an ideal refuge for remarkable wildlife, birds, and unique experiences.
Set off at dawn on a game drive, and perhaps spot lion settling down for the day after their night-time activities. In the afternoon, enjoy a spectacular African sunset with a sundowner in hand and some typical South African snacks to go with it. As the night draws in, you will head out on a peaceful night drive, under breath-taking starry skies in search for the more reclusive nocturnal wildlife.
Each of the lodge’s 5 tented safari suites have been positioned to provide maximum privacy, solitude and breath-taking views. Each suite features a private deck with a splash pool overlooking the Sterkstroom River and en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers.
The main lodge is an airy and welcoming retreat, with large open spaces extending onto an expansive deck and a bar area. The décor and design combine modern comforts with rustic charm to create warm and inviting spaces where guests can mingle, dine, enjoy a refreshing drink or simply soak in the spectacular views.
