Nestled on the banks of the White iMfolozi River in KwaZulu-Natal’s Zululand, mFulaWozi Wilderness Reserve is a privately owned Big Five sanctuary bordering Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park. Spanning over 30,000 hectares of rolling savannah, riverine forest and ancient sand forest, our reserve protects iconic species such as black and southern white rhino, elephant, Cape buffalo, lion and leopard. You’ll also encounter rare African wild dog packs, night-prowling spotted hyena, curious honey badgers, elegant giraffe and Nile crocodiles basking on sunlit banks—a testament to mFulaWozi’s vital role in South Africa’s wildlife conservation.
Begin each day with an immersive walking safari or a 4×4 game drive led by our expert rangers and trackers. Witness predator–prey drama at dawn, track rhino footprints through fever tree groves, or glide silently past hippo pods on a guided river cruise. Return to the lodge for a gourmet lunch prepared with locally foraged ingredients, then unwind at the secluded Africology Spa with signature Zulu-inspired massages. As evening falls, sip sundowners beside the rim-flow pool or around the fire pit overlooking the floodlit waterhole, where visiting elephants and buffalo drift into view.
mFulaWozi’s nine luxury suites—including seven one-bedroom and two family-style accommodations—are artisan-crafted by the Mthembu clan using native stone and thatch. Each opens onto a private viewing deck with uninterrupted wilderness panoramas, indoor/outdoor showers and richly appointed lounges. Designed in a circular layout to symbolize unity with the land, the lodge’s communal spaces flow seamlessly from the elegant restaurant and multiple lounges to expansive balconies, creating an intimate “home away from home” for discerning travelers.

From the boma’s fire-lit gathering area to private viewing decks, every vantage point offers picture-perfect panoramas for those unforgettable golden-hour moments.
Your guides are local to the region and bring deep knowledge of Zulu traditions, historic battle sites and age-old medicinal plants. Don’t hesitate to ask about the area’s cultural landmarks for a richer understanding of the land.
Wildlife is most active at dawn and dusk. Plan your Big 5 game drives to coincide with these golden hours for the best chance to spot lions, rhinos and elephants in their prime.
Mornings along the river can be crisp, while mid-day bush temperatures soar. Pack lightweight layers, a warm fleece and a sun hat to stay comfortable throughout your safari.
The White iMfolozi River sustains an incredible diversity of life. Keep noise to a minimum on walking safaris to observe shy species like nyala and reedbuck at close range.
With virtually no light pollution, the riverbank boma is an ideal spot for astronomy. Ask your guide to point out Southern Hemisphere constellations and listen for the nocturnal calls of hippos and hyenas.
