Why Visit De Zalze Lodge in Stellenbosch?

Situated on the most southern tip of the African continent, lies South Africa.  Not only is South Africa a strong favourite for a Big Five safari, but visitors visit for nature, unique adventures and great food.

The Cape Town area is a great addition to an African tour and visiting the Cape Winelands a popular tourist attraction.

Although you can visit the area for a day while staying in the city centre, to get the most of your holiday it is recommended that you stay the night.

And why not consider De Zalze Lodge for your next holiday?
