Bayala Game Lodge | KwaZulu Natal Game Reserves
A leading private game reserve in Zululand Kwazula-Natal (KZN)
Bayala Private Safari Lodges are situated within Zuka Private Game Reserve, a big 5 reserve 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 insect.
Family-friendly and affordable, Bayala welcomes guests to Founders and Safari lodges, two lodges in close proximity. Each lodge has 24 rooms offering all the essential comforts. At Bayala life is lived with homespun finesse, and the lodges provide chic lounges and bars, dining areas both indoors and out under star-sprinkled skies, and a pool deck that keeps close company with the wilderness.
Join us at award-winning Bayala Private Safari Lodges for a meaningful, memory-making wildlife safari in South Africa.

Enjoy a 3 hour game drive in the Munyawana Conservancy. Big 5, little 5 and the awesome bird species can be seen as you take in the wonder of this beautiful reserve. Stop for a sundowner drinks stop on your way back and just breathe....

https://www.youtube.com › watch?v=tfAXzcDtCSw?origin=*
With a maximum number of 8 guests, our trained, armed rangers will take you on a 2 hour walk through the reserve.
Spotting and locating game in their natural environment without them knowing you are even there is the challenge. The rangers will show you the little things you don't normally see on a vehicle and it is very interesting to read the signs, once you begin to recognize them.
The stillness also allows you to hear the calls of the different bird species, which the rangers will point out.
The reserve is home to one of the largest privately owned rhino populations in the world.
The Mun-ya-wana conservation team has been at the forefront of rhino conservation ever since the crisis started, and a few years ago it was decided to initiate a dehorning program. The Cycle of Life has been able to contribute to this expensive program.
Please have a look at the Cycle of Life's video about our dehorning: https://thecycleoflife.co.za/charity/
