EXPERIENCE
NATURE
Being surrounded by nature awakens our senses, and reconnects us with others and ourselves. And Zimbali Estate offers an unsurpassed wildlife experience. You know it each time you stop to fill your lungs with brisk forest air, as you take a quiet solitary stroll through the ancient coastal sand forest on a winter’s morning. You see it as you watch a Goliath Heron break the sun-kissed surface of the lake. And you feel it in the warm sand under your feet as you gaze, awestruck, at a Southern Right whale and its calf breaching close to the shore. Zimbali Estate’s focus is on conserving and experiencing nature. It offers a front-row seat to a natural haven with over 200 species of birds, and is brimming with flora and fauna, offering a very special and unique nature experience to those who live here.
