Safari elegance<br />
Stepping down from the game vehicle and walking through the doors<br />
of mFulaWozi Wilderness’s five-star Mthembu Lodge is like being<br />
transported into a luxurious, circular-inspired bush sanctuary.<br />
Nestled on the banks of the White<br />
iMfolozi River, Mthembu Lodge is an<br />

Ballito, it really is the ultimate bush spoil.<br />

private game reserve, I somehow<br />
knew the experience, and our stay<br />
there, would be a special one. Not only<br />
because of its opulent and luxurious<br />
offering, but simply because of where it<br />
is situated.<br />
As the original hunting ground of the<br />
great King Shaka Zulu, there is a deeply<br />
rooted history and embodiment of the<br />
Zulu nation and spirit here. And when<br />

southern white rhino from extinction.<br />
