"Thundering Zulu", the direct translation of DumaZulu, is an appropriate label for a place rich in African culture. Situated in the heart of Zululand, near Hluhluwe, DumaZulu offers an authentic African cultural experience starting with the individual units. Each self-standing unit is designed to resemble different tribes of Africa, including Zulu, Swazi, North Sotho, Xhosa, Venda, Tsonga and Ndebele. Each unit has decor which adds rich colours of the earth to the interior, hues of burnt oranges, rich reds and browns now add to the tasteful ethnic feel. Each unit offers a comfortable, pleasant setting with en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, telephones and tea/coffee making facilities.Another addition is the conversion of 10 units into self-catering options, with a kitchenette neatly built within the unit allowing guests to choose between home cooking and dining at the lodge restaurant. A swimming pool is also available on the property. DumaZulu Lodge & Traditional Village holds a 3-star rating by the Tourism Grading Council and is part of Gooderson Leisure.
