The nightly rate depends on the number of people. For groups of 8 or more people, the rate is R350/person/night aged 12 and over. For groups of 7 or fewer, the rate is R400/person/night. Kids aged 5-12 are R200/person/night, and kids 4 and under stay for no charge.

There is a minimum R100/day tip for each of the two domestic staff who work during your stay. This is payable in cash to the staff on your departure day.

Other info

Vodacom and Cell C signal is weak but available. However, there is very limited MTN coverage.

The internal dirt roads are better suited to high clearance vehicles but 4×4’s are not essential.

Don’t expect anything more than the basics with regards to the facilities and amenities – the charm of Zulu Falls lies in its rustic simplicity and stunning setting.
