When i was there i think the the building the painting showing African art and learning about different leaders of different Nations ,the fire place just the traditional set thumps up

The location in the google map is bad takes you straoght to Bonamanzi gate and the visibility i think you still need 2 or 3 sign boards

We had a lovely stay at DumaZulu. It was great value for money, lovely concept, clean, comfy, the grounds were beautiful and loved the swimming pool. It is also the perfect location for a day trip to Hluhluwe as only a 20 min drive away. However, my heart breaks because you can definitely see the impact covid-19 has had on this establishment. I encourage as many as possible to please support DumaZulu so it can operate again at its full potential. Its a gem in this beautiful country of ours. We will definitely be back!
