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. |
