Juan Alejandro Dec 6, 2025 10:17:57 PM
Summary: We enjoyed the mountain biking around the lodge and seeing the zebras at breakfast was lovely too. The lodge is nice and spacious
Joost Nov 23, 2025 11:24:03 PM
Summary: Everything perfect amazing views from the room and outstanding service
siobhan Feb 15, 2025 04:03:39 AM
Summary: On arrival we were amazed at the beautiful design and decor of the main building as well as the presence of the zebras grazing so close to us as we got out of our car. The hosts, Didier and Florbella, were lovely and made sure we were well looked after.The resident chefs made delicious breakfasts each morning and the food in the evening was so good we ate in for the three nights we stayed there. Our “tent”, which was really a hut with canvas walls and a thatched roof, was great - very clean and well appointed; glamping rather than camping! From our balcony we were able to see 2 giraffes on the other side of the valley too. We particularly enjoyed the free-roaming zebras, and how close they came to the building, while still being essentially wild animals. Altogether, a unique experience; one not to be missed!

Summary: An enchanting stay at Zebra Lodge!
Colin Feb 13, 2023 01:00:35 PM

Summary: Zebra-Lodge was the perfect get-away for us. Just perfect.
John Oct 26, 2019 12:32:02 PM
Summary: What a wonderful surprise Zebra Lodge was. It so exceeded my expectations. The Lodge is beautiful, and the large acreage on which it sits is stunning. Stunning! The food was delicious. Our time there was indeed special, and we hope to return.
Darla Oct 15, 2019 02:50:51 AM
Summary: We knew seeing zebras are not guaranteed, because they are wild animals. So we were so happy that we saw 7 of them grazing in the morning right by our breakfast table! The tent cabin we were in was very private. The dinner and breakfast we had there were delicious. The owners were so friendly. They even sold us the napkin holders from our dinner table when we said we liked them and we wouldn't be able to make it to buy them where she said she bought them. Loved everything about the stay!

Summary: In splendid isolation, all recently built in a contemporary style and to a high standard, the lodges are quite large with great views and very comfortable. Reception with lounge and restaurant serves excellent freshly prepared food.
Sara G. Oct 14, 2018 11:18:38 AM
Summary: Highly recommend this lodge for a wonderful SA experience, beautiful vistas and the food is 5 stars. Great location and the zebras are amazingly beautiful. The tents, cottages and main lodge are very high end and beautifully appointed. Hosts Florabella and Didier are delightful. Look forward to returning soon.
