Bayala Private Safari Lodges are situated within Zuka Private Game Reserve, a big 5 Game Reserve in South Africa just 3 hours north of Durban South Africa, in the ancient kingdom of Zululand. Zuka is the cornerstone property of a pioneering land assembly founded in 2001. Today, over 20 years later, this progressive rewilding project has thus far expanded to 10,300 hectares of environmentally restored and protected northern Zululand and stands as a beacon of light as to what is possible on our planet. The reserve supports stunning biodiversity across a variety of ecosystems with elephant, black rhino, white rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, zebra and myriad species of bird, mammal, reptile and insects. Rehabilitation of wilderness and restoration of wildlife are Bayala’s highest priorities. Guests have a privileged window into conservation-in-action and on request, subject to availability and at additional cost may participate in hands-on activities such as rhino dehorning. Green living and sustainability are also prized, and guests are invited into our earth-friendly way of life.
