We are excited to announce that Biyela Lodge was crowned the Best Luxury Safari Lodge in KwaZulu-Natal by Luxury Lifestyle Awards in 2025 — an accolade that reflects its commitment to world-class hospitality, immersive experiences, and authentic African storytelling.
Perched above the breathtaking floodplains of the White iMfolozi River, Biyela Lodge is a safari destination offering nature, culture, and indulgence. Hidden deep within the mFulaWozi Wilderness Private Game Reserve, this exclusive retreat redefines what it means to experience Africa, offering a rare combination of unspoiled wilderness and five-star sophistication.
Each of Biyela Lodge’s 12 standalone suites is a private haven, designed to immerse guests in the rhythm of the African bush. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows frame mesmerizing views, while spacious private decks and plunge pools invite moments of quiet contemplation as the river’s wildlife unfolds below. Inspired by a modern apothecary aesthetic, the interiors exude understated luxury, with natural textures and earthy tones harmonizing with the landscape beyond.
Step into the ancient heartbeat of Zululand, where the Big 5 roam freely across untouched wilderness. The reserve itself spans over 100, 000 hectares.
