Vikela Safari Lodge

Hotel
TLE Icon TLE Recommends: Grab a coffee on your tent’s veranda before the sunrise game drive, and rinse off the day’s dust in the outdoor shower. Make sure your stay includes a boma night, with dinner by firelight and a performance by Zulu dancers under the stars.

Vikela Safari Lodge

Located within the bushveld of northern KwaZulu-Natal, around a four-and-a-half-hour drive from Durban and 280 miles from Johannesburg, lies Vikela Safari Lodge, Club Med’s first-ever safari lodge and wilder half of its triumphant new South African holiday experience, Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari. Surrounded by an 18,000-hectare private game reserve exclusively for Club Med guests, 75 safari tents in couple and family configurations look out across savannah landscapes. Two game drives a day head out in search of the big five, and best of all, it’s all-inclusive, meaning food, drink, experiences and transfers are all combined. Unique to safari lodges, it also welcomes families with its own kids’ club and adults-only spaces. Enjoyed as part of a stay at Club Med’s main hotel just outside Durban, it combines two South African luxury holiday experiences into one trip.
