Owner/family-run
Zulu Nyala's year-round property, 5 km from its seasonal Game Lodge near Hluhluwe, combining the Heritage Safari Lodge's rooms and suites with the Hemingway Tented Camp. According to zulunyala.co.za and the 2025 brochure it has two pools and a spa, and it sells half-day and full-day tours into Hluhluwe-iMfolozi as extras. Zulu Nyala calls itself privately owned. It publishes no rates and no room counts. The property is outside HiP, on Zulu Nyala's own land, so the park's conservation fee applies only on the days you go in. Choose it if you want a private reserve stay with someone else driving you into HiP.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryR320 per international adult per day at USD 1 = R16.35 (23 Sep 2026), 2025/26 tariff valid to 31 Oct 2026.
- $20per person, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults pay $120 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Ezemvelo's 2025/26 tariff lists no vehicle fee for Hluhluwe-iMfolozi.
Guests at Ezemvelo's own camps and at the private lodge inside the park pay the conservation fee for every day as well; it is not included in the accommodation rates.
