Location
Zuka Private Game Reserve is located in the heart of Northern Zululand. 3 hours drive north of Durban and 5 hours drive from Johannesburg. Zuka is also accessible by air, 1.5 hours flying from Johannesburg. The Zuka reserve is 1,350 hectares in extent and is situated at the foothills of the Lebombo Mountain Range, a rift valley that stretches from central Africa southwards to the Greater St. Lucia World Heritage Site. Zuka also neighbours Umfolosi, Mkunzi and Phinda reserves, this area provides great opportunities to spot the Big 5.
The Camp overlooks a floodlit waterhole within the extinct Bumbeni Volcano crater, which attracts a wide spectrum of wildlife from the surrounding bush. The Bush Camp offers the African traveller the opportunity to experience the natural beauty and diversity of this area.
Zuka’s rich vegetation attracts over 350 different species of bird including the endemic and really seen Pink throated twinspot, African Broadbill, Neargards sun Bird and Rudd’s Appalis. The Bush camp offers a high standard of service and a wide range of personalised bush and beach adventures.
