Property Overview

Immerse yourself in authentic luxury and wilderness comfort

Immerse yourself deeply into a massive, successful conservation triumph at Mkulumadzi Lodge. Situated spectacularly at the confluence of the Mkulumadzi and Shire rivers deep within the Majete Wildlife Reserve, this extraordinary, luxury lodge represents the heart of an incredible ecosystem completely rejuvenated and restocked with the iconic Big Five.

Stay in immensely spacious, sublimely comfortable riverfront chalets that seamlessly integrate with the surrounding, dense riverine forest. The chalets feature distinctive vegetated ‘living roofs,’ vast open-plan layouts, grand sunken bathtubs, and expansive private viewing decks where you can comfortably watch herds of elephants coming down to the river to drink.

Experience thrilling, diverse safari activities led by world-class guides in a reserve famously untamed and devoid of heavy tourist traffic. Embark on classic, open-vehicle 4×4 game drives, venture out on highly educational walking safaris to track black rhino, or enjoy tranquil boat safaris along the mighty Shire River, navigating past huge pods of hippos.

Gather around the roaring campfire in the evenings to share incredible stories of the day’s sightings before enjoying phenomenal, three-course dinners in the beautiful open-sided restaurant. Mkulumadzi Lodge delivers an incredibly authentic, exclusive, and ecologically significant luxury wilderness experience.
