Southern Spoor is delighted to announce that Zazu Private Bush Lodge has joined its collection of extraordinary venues across Southern and East Africa.
Set within the Big Five Olifants West Nature Reserve in the Greater Kruger, Zazu Private Bush Lodge offers an intimate safari experience where guests are encouraged to slow down, immerse themselves in nature and become part of the rhythm of the African bush. With exceptional guiding, personalised service and warm hospitality, the lodge delivers an authentic safari experience that is both luxurious and refreshingly personal.
At the heart of Zazu are owners Stephanie Goodyer and Liam Gunning. Young, vibrant and incredibly passionate about the bush, they are hands-on owners whose knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment shine through in every guest experience. Whether guiding guests, sharing stories around the boma or ensuring every detail is just right, Stephanie and Liam are very much part of the daily rhythm of the lodge.
For Southern Spoor, Zazu represents the safari property the company has been waiting for.
“We have been searching for the right safari product for some time,” says Anita Foxcroft, Managing Director of Southern Spoor. “We weren’t looking for just another game lodge – we were looking for a property with heart, authenticity and owners who genuinely live their product every single day. We have found that in Zazu.”
“When I met Stephanie and Liam for the first time, I was completely blown away by their passion, knowledge and genuine love for what they do. They bring a fresh and exciting approach to the safari experience while remaining true to everything that makes an authentic African safari so special. Their energy is infectious, and I know our trade partners and their clients are going to love what they have created.”
Zazu Private Bush Lodge is a natural fit within the Southern Spoor portfolio. It reflects everything the company looks for in its partner properties – independently owned, passionately managed and committed to delivering exceptional hospitality and memorable experiences.
Guests can look forward to unforgettable Big Five encounters, expertly guided game drives and bush walks, relaxed afternoons overlooking the bushveld, evenings beneath spectacular African skies and the opportunity to reconnect with nature at its own unhurried pace.
Southern Spoor looks forward to introducing Zazu Private Bush Lodge to the travel trade and showcasing one of the Greater Kruger’s most exciting boutique safari experiences.
