Chalets

It is an experience of a lifetime to stay in one of Zulu Camp’s traditional honeycomb-shaped chalets in the heart of the bushveld, with streams from the nearby river running through the camp. As the camp is not fenced off, the chalets look out over the wild, natural bushveld. From early morning until dusk the air is filled with echoing birdcalls, emphasizing the uniqueness of being part of the natural surroundings.

Each chalet is furnished and decorated in chic Afro-French Provincial style, with its own refreshing outdoor shower.

Luxury Chalet
