Durban - At the foot of the legendary Ghost Mountain in Mkuze, northern KwaZulu-Natal, lies the privately owned 4-star Ghost Mountain Inn.
This intimate and beautiful hotel is the ideal base from which to explore the array of wildlife and coastal reserves in Maputaland and the Elephant Coast.
As the Zululand bush dries up for winter, you can enjoy clear sunny days and cool evenings around the crackling fire with an ocean of stars up above.
With the sparser vegetation, the game viewing is best in Mkuze and Hluhluwe game reserves. Alternatively, tiger fishing is arranged on Lake Jozini, while birders can enjoy one of southern Africa’s top birding destinations with more than 450 species.
The spa offers treatments using organic African skincare products by Terres d’Afrique. Those who prefer the sound of birdsong and the warmth of the African sun will find respite at the poolside within the indigenous gardens of Ghost Mountain Inn.
