Zulu Nyala Wins 2025 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award
Ranked Among the Top 10% of Safari Lodges Worldwide
There’s magic in the African bush—the kind that awakens your soul with the rustle of Nyala through the thickets, the golden glow of a Zululand sunset, and the echo of drums welcoming you home. And for the fourth year in a row, Zulu Nyala has been recognised by travellers from around the globe for capturing that very magic.
We’re thrilled to announce that Zulu Nyala has once again won the prestigious TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award in 2025, placing us proudly among the top 10% of hotels and lodges worldwide. This accolade is awarded based on consistently outstanding reviews from the world’s greatest critics—our guests.
To all our travellers – thank you. Whether you came for your once-in-a-lifetime photo safari, a romantic getaway, or a corporate escape in the bush, your stories, smiles, and shared sunsets have helped us reach this milestone.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team, whose passion and professionalism ensure every guest leaves with memories etched into their hearts. From the rangers guiding you through dawn-lit game drives to the housekeeping team, chefs, and spa therapists who infuse every stay with warmth and excellence — this honour belongs to each of you.
To our valued non-profit partners around the world, we extend our deepest gratitude. Through your collaboration in auctioning our Photo Safari packages, you’ve helped raise over $20 million for important causes. Your commitment not only changes lives through fundraising but also brings a diverse community of travellers to our lodges — many of whom may never have imagined themselves on an African safari.
Zulu Nyala’s commitment to exceptional guest experiences, environmental stewardship, and community impact remains at the heart of everything we do. As we look to the future, we’re excited to share that new experiences, upgraded offerings, and domestic travel packages are on the horizon — designed to welcome even more guests to experience the heart of Africa, from all corners of the globe.
This award is more than just a badge — it’s a reminder of why we do what we do. It’s a celebration of every story shared, every photo snapped, and every connection made under the African sky.
Come see for yourself why Zulu Nyala continues to rank among the best safari lodges in South Africa and the world.
