Welcome back to the channel.
We have arrived at Zimanga, a private game reserve in the northern part of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa.
Zimanga is in the heart of Zululand and offers luxury accommodation alongside spectacular wildlife viewing experiences.
At Zimanga there are multiple activities including two overnight underground hides for the ultimate photographic experience and a variety of other hides that will all suit your liking.
Zimanga is an ultimate wildlife photographer destination which offers an exclusive big 5 wildlife experience. This is a photographic paradise with abundant wild and birdlife.
There's a choice of accommodation options at Zimanga, the Homestead can be your private villa in the bush which can accommodate 7 guests and the Main Lodge with 8 separate luxury double suites to accommodate 16 guests.
The Main Lodge offers an exclusive lounge and dining area with delicious meals, well trained and friendly staff members.

Here are some of the photos taken during our visit to Zimanga.
The luxury suits have everything you need. It is spacious and comfortable. It has two desks, ideal for photographers editing their amazing wildlife shots. It is probably one of the best accommodation's that I have experienced, with a definite five-star rating. To combat the hot and humid climate, all rooms are airconditioned.
There is a large meeting room at the main lodge for bigger group to share camera tips and tricks or to share your experiences with family or friends. There is a large collection of all kinds of cameras from yesteryear. Quite an amazing sighting by itself.
When arriving at Zimanga, you get this awesome photographer destination feeling. A place where amazing things can happen in the wild. Looking at other photographers amazing photos which is showcased in the reception area.
The homestead can be your own villa in the bush, and it is ideal for groups up to seven people. It has amazing views with a rim flow pool to enjoy nature at its best.
The underground hides are fully equipped with all the basics you will need. We stayed in both the Umgodi and Tamboti hides, and both were equally comfortable. The sightings however were amazing during our stay and as you could see we got some amazing shots.
Both hides have WIFI capability which helped us to stay connected with the outside world.
Goodbye for now, stay tuned for the next video.

Hello Raymond,
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience and your awesome photos!
Could you let us know which season you were there, and which month you would recommend for visiting Zimanga to get the most out of the Umgodi and Tamboti Overnight Hide sessions and see the most wildlife at night? Thank you in advance!
Hallo Patricia, excuse the belated response and thank you for reaching out. We were there in November 2022. An amazing time of the year which I shall recommend. It was slightly hot during that time of year but the veld was green. Even going there in winter June/July I would think will be okay. Zimanga is an amazing place with friendly people and the hides are spectacular. You will not be disappointed. Please keep in touch and also kindly visit my website at www.raymondwright.co.za.
Absolutely stunning!

Raymond.. What about a Walk Around video of your Cruiser?? What Canopy is that? Riaan
Hi Riaan, Thanks for your comment. I have the BushTech canopy installed and I must say I’m really pleased with my choice. Regarding the Cruiser, there will be a full walk around video soon and two other videos on the Echo 5 Tec Trailer and Echo Kunene off-road caravan. Thanks for supporting my channel!
@Raymond Wright Overlanding & Photography Hi Raymond. That is good to know. I am an absolute Land Cruiser 79 Series fanatic, and mainly watch your videos to see your mint Cruiser... 😉 😜. What is your average consumption in town, fully loaded on the open road, and in low range?
Thanks, much appreciated 🙏, Open road Cruiser only just under 7km/l, with Caravan/Trailer about 5,5km/l and thick sand with Trailer about 3.5km/l🫣
