Accommodation Venue - Malala Lodge
( Game Lodges & Resorts Accommodation in Hluhluwe
/ Kwazulu-Natal / South Africa )
Whether you are looking to experience Zulu culture,
the Big 5 or the vast wetlands of St Lucia, we will provide you
with the perfect base from which to explore the majestic beauty
of South Africa's Zulu Kingdom. Our lodge is located in the Hluhluwe
area of the Elephant Coast, ideally positioned between the world
renowned Hluhluwe-Imfolosi Game Reserve, Mkhuze Game Reserve,
Sodwana Bay and the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. Malala is situated
on a 340 acre private nature reserve and, as we accommodate a
maximum of eighteen guests, you will be assured of a tranquil
African bush atmosphere and the personal attention you deserve.
When you go on a safari holiday you deserve the best experience
imaginable... we pride ourselves on making that happen. Malala
Lodge has a variety of vegetation types, including lowland forest,
woodland, grasslands and wetlands. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll
through these diverse habitats on well-maintained and marked walking
trails. The "Forest trail" begins behind each of the
chalets but you are welcome to explore anywhere on our property.
You may come across some of our game, which includes Zebra, Blue
Wildebeest, Impala, Nyala, Reedbuck and Red and Grey Duiker. Other
smaller wildlife that may cross your path are Large-spotted Genet,
various mongooses, Vervet Monkeys and large Monitor Lizards. You
may even spot the rare Suni Antelope or the unusual Four-toed
Elephant Shrew. In addition, Malala Lodge is at the centre of
the birding hotspot of KwaZulu-Natal with over 500 species of
bird having been recorded in the Elephant Coast area. The Malala
Lodge birdlist currently has 237 recorded species. A checklist
of the birds on the property is available on request.
