Sungubala farm forms part of the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife Conservancy of the Northern Drakensberg.

Staying at Sungubala Drakensberg Mountain Bush Lodge allows you to enjoy the peace and serenity of eco friendly camping and the luxury of a hot shower at night, without any of the hassle of putting up your own tent and bringing a car-load of camping kit on holiday with you; without the 'hum drum' feel you get when staying in even the most friendly of hotels or resorts.

Although there are people who prefer the independence of camping, with all the camping gear and clutter that goes with it, there are also those who - after a hard days' hiking and trekking in the Drakensberg would enjoy the luxury and convenience of a hot shower, an ice cold drink and a comfortable bed in an eco friendly environment. At Sungubala Drakensberg Mountain Bush Lodge our guests have these conveniences, without ever losing the peace and quiet of the Drakensberg Mountain Wilderness around them.

Sungubala Drakensberg Mountain Bush Lodge is also an ideal choice for people who love their camping, but who are on an extended holiday and cannot bring all their camping gear with them - as they only have a few days to enjoy our Drakensberg Mountain Wilderness.

At Sungubala Drakensberg Mountain Bush Lodge you can experience the feeling of camping, without the discomfort and clutter that usually goes with setting up a campsite.

In short, Sungubala caters for the visitor who wants to be up in the mountains, not just looking at them!
