Named for the elusive Mountain Reedbuck that roam the 1600 hectares of mountain and green grassland, Nxala Ranch is your ideal breakaway. The thatch-roofed lodge, situated at the foot of the Biggars Mountain, some 45 kilometers from Dundee ( in KwaZulu Natal ), nestles amongst willow and paper bark trees in the tranquility of a lush, park-like garden. Nxala Ranch is situated in a malaria free area.
It offers four stylish bedrooms, three en-suites and one with a private bathroom, a lounge equipped with satellite TV, a modern, fully equipped kitchen and a spacious veranda with braai facilities overlooking the dam which is well stocked with bass. The lodge provides guests with lovely views across the plain where game and bird life abound. Guests at Nxala Ranch have a choice of activities, from game viewing, fishing and hiking, to visiting ancient San rock art. It is also a working farm, and viewing of the Brahman, Simbra and Nguni cattle is also possible.
For those wishing to visit the historic Anglo South African War battlefields of Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift and Elandslaagte, Nxala Ranch is perfectly located. A visit to the Talana Museum and the Bloodriver battlefield is also recommended.
