 Ghost Mountain Inn 

In the heart of Zululand

Family-run hotel at the foot of Ghost Mountain

At the foot of the mysterious Ghost Mountain in Zululand, this family-run inn offers a homely environment. One of the many highlights is its proximity to Lake Jozini – one of the only lakes in South Africa where wild elephants swim – as well as Hluhluwe–iMfolozi and Mkuze game reserves for Big Five viewing and sightings of black and white rhino. Bird watchers have 420 species to try and check off their list.  If that all sounds too busy, you can unwind at the pool or take a treatment at the spa.

What's Included

Breakfast.

Using Terres d'Afrique and Dermalogica products, relax with a treatment at the Ghost Mountain Spa. Myrrh body polishes, black earth mud masks and African aromatherapy massages are just some of the items on the spa menu. There's also a steam room and plunge pool.

There's plenty of different activities here. You can join a game drive into nearby Mkhuze and Hluhluwe game reserves, embark on a boat cruise, enjoy a Zulu Cultural trip or head out to explore the beautiful surrounds on one of the many hiking trails.

Ghost Mountain Inn has always been committed to sustainability and is Fair Trade Certified. They grow and compost a vegetable garden which supplies the kitchen and have added indigenous plants which use minimal water to grow. They have a charitable foundation which supports local businesses and education programmes.

We love the activities for children here - especially the Grubby Nature Walk where they go on a guided walk in search of creepy crawlies. Other activities for 5 to 10 year olds include pizza making, treasure hunts and Zulu craft making. Older children can go on a nature walk or go kayaking on the dam.
