Zandibela Private Game Lodge

Zandibela is a 1800 hectare private game lodge located close to the breathtakingly beautiful Baviaanskloof in the Eastern Cape. It is the perfect place to soak up the scenery, game viewing and exploring the breathtaking hills, waterfalls and landscapes of the area.

Accommodation is offered in 8 thatched, high-ceilinged and air-conditioned lodges built out of natural stone sourced from the area. All lodges have expansive views across to the horizon and comprise 2 en-suite bedrooms, a lounge, fireplace and a private deck overlooking the game dam.

All lodges have extra-length, queen-size beds or, if required, single beds that can be converted to king-sized beds. The romantic honeymoon suite is perfect for that very special occasion with that very special person and includes your own private jacuzzi.

The décor is understated luxury, with leather sofas, bamboo ceilings, plump goose down duvets, crisp white Egyptian cotton bed linen, bathrobes and fluffy white towels in the bathrooms.

Enjoy sumptuous meals or a traditional braai under a starlit sky at the boma, or just relax and stare into the fire in a meditative trance. Laze at the swimming pool on hot summer days whilst being served tall, cool drinks and enjoy good food and wine in the dining room which has a cosy fire for cold winter nights.

Relax at the bar and share conversation with other guests. There are modern conference facilities available for executive conferences, brainstorming and workshops. Zandibela is also available as a wedding venue.
