Sungulwane Hills Game Lodge is situated on Sungulwane Conservancy, in the foothills of the Ubombo mountain range, between the world renowned Hluhluwe-Umfolozi & Mkuze Reserves, on the western side of the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park (a UNESCO World Heritage site).
Sungulwane Hills offer guests exclusivity, peace & quiet. The Lodge currently has 7 chalets that are all en-suite, with air conditioning and tea & coffee facilities. The main building has a beautiful lounge, dining room & bar with a patio overlooking a waterhole. (Guests staying on half-catered packages are welcome to join us for other meals at a minimal extra charge.) Our big swimming pool is ideal to cool off in after the day's activities.
We offer several packages, ranging from Bed & Breakfast to Full Board including or excluding activities.
This 1000ha Conservancy is home to a variety of game, including white rhino, buffalo, leopard, red and grey duiker, impala, suni, nyala, kudu, waterbuck, reedbuck, zebra, giraffe, aardvark, warthog and an incredible variety of birds (over 250 species). A registered, qualified Field Guide leads all our activities. We take all possible care not to disturb the ecosystem in order to ensure sustainable use.
Please note that we do not allow guests to drive or walk around unguided, due to the presence of dangerous game.
