In the 13 years since it opened, Falaza, the luxury tented game park located close to Hluhluwe in KwaZulu-Natal, has established itself as one of the country's premier safari lodges. The game park prides itself in offering both local and overseas guests the quintessential Out of Africa experience.

Now, Falaza has added to its facilities with the opening of a luxurious spa and a state-of-the-art conference centre. Both the thatched Spa at Falaza and the thatched Imbizo Conference Centre have been designed and decorated with the same African elegance, and in harmony with the surrounds, as the original Falaza facilities.

The other new addition at Falaza is the Imbizo Conference Centre (Imbizo means meeting place). Private and separate from the hub of Falaza's leisure and dining facilities, it is the perfect environment within which to brainstorm, strategise and motivate your staff.

The Imbizo Centre can accommodate up to 32 delegates and is equipped with a data projector and Internet access for all attending delegates, as well as standard conference equipment and stationery necessities. A motivational speaker can also be arranged on request.

Croc & Snake Experience Since a teen, Zululand-born Karl-Heinz Booysen has been fascinated with crocodiles, so much so that today his nickname is Crocodile Impiï. Known to have wrestled 4m-long crocs in transporting them to his domain, Karl-Heinz's crocodile nursery is located at Falaza Game Park - False Bay on the far-northern banks of Lake St. Lucia World Heritage Site and it is here that he introduces guests to the world of the Nile Crocodile which incidentally loves a stomach rub.
