IDUBE GAME RESERVE /
SABI SAND, KRUGER PARK |
|
|
|
|
The exclusive Idube Game Lodge is
situated in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, in the heart of South
Africa's premier wildlife conservation area, the Kruger National
Park. This game rich Reserve provides a haven where the best of
African animals and birds are free to live as nature intended.
Built under towering jackalberry trees, the Idube Game Lodge
offers guests a peaceful retreat away from the stress of city
life.
Extensive green lawns under the trees offer tempting tastes to
Nyala and Warthog and the water feature in the garden at the
Lodge attracts a variety of birds and small animals. Relax in
the sun or under a shady canopy of trees around the boulder
pool, cross the suspended walkway to the secluded sunken hide
next to the wall of Shadulu dam, or sit quietly and watch the
elephants bathing or the lions come down to quench their thirst.
Designed for indulgent comfort, the individually decorated
chalets at the Idube Game Lodge are equipped with air
conditioning, overhead fans and mosquito screens. Outside
showers offer the perfect solution to a hot day.
Leave the main door open at night, safe behind the screen door
and listen to Africa's unique night sounds, the distant roar of
a lion and the cackling of a hyena. Wake in the morning to the
dawn chorus of hundreds of different birds.
Daily game drives and bush walks, which are conducted at the
Idube Game Lodge, led by skilled rangers and Shangaan trackers
promise close encounters of the wild kind with an infinite array
of animals, including Africa’s Big 5, birds and reptiles.
Botanical walks unveil the rich textures of the African earth
and the fascinating uses of the lowveld's plant life.
Enjoy sumptuous bush breakfasts and midday feasts while staying
at the Idube Game Lodge and indulge in delicious South African
fare in the bush boma beneath the star lit African sky. The
specialties of the house include venison delights, complemented
by a fine selection of South African wines. Regular wine
tastings offered at the Idube Game Lodge complete a superb
gastronomic experience.
After an exciting night drive, guests gather at the thatched bar
to exchange tales of all the great sightings. Then it's into the
boma and under the moonlit skies, time to enjoy a feast. The
talented chefs combine the best of European and African cuisine,
and venison is featured regularly. Rangers sit with guests at
all meals, so you can continue hearing the best of bush tales.
The dinner experience in the bush is something no visitor will
forget. From the time you arrive to see the firefly light of
many lanterns, you know you are in for something special.
Mouth-watering smells drift into the air as you stand around the
fire. Glasses of red wine glow in the firelight, with darkness
and the bush beyond the magical circle of sand. As you sit
enjoying traditional South African cuisine, the quiet
conversations of the guests is broken by the occassional roar of
a nearby lion or the predatory hoot of a spotted eagle owl on
the hunt. |
