Idube Private Game Reserve, an exclusive family owned lodge, is dedicated to giving guests a genuine bush experience. The intimate lodge is situated in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, in the heart of South Africa's premier wildlife conservation area adjacent to the famous Kruger National Park. Twice daily game viewing safaris are offered from open Land Rovers, with experienced rangers and trackers. The Big Five can be seen really close to the vehicles affording the visitor an amazing photographic opportunity.

Idube has just ten en-suite chalets, each individually decorated, with air conditioners, overhead fans and high ceilings. Each suite has been refurbished giving a very fresh and attractive look, with draped mosquito nets giving a touch of safari romance. There is also mosquito gauze on doors and windows. Brand new private wooden decks have been added to each suite and have quickly become the favorite place for guests to enjoy both the tranquility of the lodge and a place to view visiting animals. Enjoy a little romance and adventure of showering under the stars, while listening to the gentle hoot of an owl or the call of a far off jackal.

The best of South African wines are selected with care, and the lodge staff is sure that you will enjoy trying different wines with your meal. There is also no need to stop enjoying game viewing for meals, since the covered deck has no walls to block your enjoyment. This is where full breakfasts, delicious lunches and tempting teas are served.

For those guests wishing for an extra dose of exercise for the day, Idube has a gymnasium with modern equipment, which will allow you to do a full work out. Equipment includes amongst other items: a Roman chair, a selection of free weights, a treadmill and an exercise bike. The gymnasium is privately situated and cooled by overhead fans.

Step onto the gently swaying bridge and you cross over to the sunken hide. From inside its cool walls, you look directly onto the dam and the animals as they cross untroubled in front of you. The hide is designed especially for wildlife photography, so make sure you have plenty of film. After an exciting night drive, guests gather at the thatched bar to swap tales of all their great sightings. Then it's time to enjoy a feast in the boma under moonlit skies. 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.
