Zulu Waters Game Reserve | Game Lodges & Resorts Mooi River

Your own Private African Retreat in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands of South Africa, Dalton Private Reserve offers you the exclusive use of its 7000 acre estate, your time here tailored to create the experience you want from Africa

There are three accommodation experiences at Zulu Water Private Reserve, each of which has its own unique character.

Dalton House, sleeps three couples, while the Lake Cottage is a more intimate setting for two, and Zulu Waters lodge is perfect for groups of up to 12.

Visitors to lodge, cottage and house are provided with a private chef. Many of the ingredients used for the meals are drawn from the reserve itself, from Blesbuck venison to organic vegetables. Check the food page for more information.

Whichever of the three venues you stay in, a unique African experience awaits, in one of the most beautiful settings that the country has to offer.

Ultimately Dalton provides you with a luxury lodge experience whose primary attraction is a personalised and intimate experience of Africa. Those who have spent time at Dalton Private Reserve leave with a sense that something in them has changed, that they are perhaps a little more than when they arrived – a little more fulfilled, a little more inspired, a little more human
Whether your desire is to get adventurously close to some of our wild animals, go after wild brown trout in the Bushman’s river, or simply soak in the atmosphere of the dramatic landscape, it’s your choice and our pleasure, Dalton promises you a uniquely intimate experience of the African wilderness that will leave its grit under your fingernails and its wild, breezy spirit in your heart.
