One of the best parts of staying at Mazuri is how much there is to explore nearby — without ever feeling overwhelmed.

1. Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park

Just a short drive away, this iconic park is home to the Big Five and offers some of the best game viewing in South Africa.

  • Self-drive safaris
  • Guided game drives
  • Incredible landscapes and wildlife sightings

2. Birdwatching at Mazuri

You don’t need to go far — some of the best experiences happen right at your cottage.

  • Unique sand forest species
  • Early morning and late afternoon activity
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced birders

3. St Lucia & iSimangaliso Wetland Park

For a coastal contrast, head to St Lucia.

  • Estuary cruises with hippos and crocodiles
  • Beach outings
  • A mix of bush and ocean experiences

4. Sodwana Bay

If you’re up for a slightly longer trip, Sodwana offers:

  • Snorkelling and diving
  • Pristine beaches
  • A completely different side of KwaZulu-Natal

5. Simply Relax

Of course, one of the best things to do… is nothing at all.
Sit outside. Read a book. Watch the bush change as the light moves through the day.
That’s the Mazuri experience.
