Profile:
NGUNI HISTORY
The name Nguni refers to a collective group of people who migrated from Central Africa south in search of grazing for their cattle and eventually settled along the eastern seaboard and adjacent hinterland of Southern Africa.

This group divided into three broad divisions based on linguistic and cultural differences and comprise of the Zulu, Swazi and Xhosa, which account for about 60 percent of the Bantu speaking people of South Africa. Today it is the ancestral cattle breed of these people that carry the Nguni name.

The Nguni cattle breed is endemic to Southern Africa and is known for their fertility and resistance to diseases and characterized by multicolored skins, which can present many different patterns. To this day cattle is the symbol of wealth, status and respect among the Nguni descendants and forms an integral part in “Lobola” (bride’s price) transactions during cultural matrimonial ceremonies.

Guests at Nguni River Lodge are welcomed by a spectacular view over a pristine floodplain with the majestic Zuurberg Mountains as backdrop. The eclectic combination of architectural shapes and textures combined with the elegant modern interior furnishings creates a true harmonious flow within this diverse environment. All guest suites are named after the colour pattern of that specific Nguni cow that inspired the individually styled interiors.
