If you require a blend of child-friendly amenities with authentic African ambiance, iBhubesi is your go-to place. Located centrally in the reserve the lodge is a mere 2.5-hour drive from Johannesburg, one of the most accessible malaria free wilderness reserves in the country. iBhubesi’s main lodge boasts an open-plan lounge and dining area which connects to a viewing deck which offers spellbinding views of the iBhubesi Plains. On the deck you can indulge in a lazy lunch while watching wildlife roam freely in their natural habitat. The lodge also features a swimming pool fenced off from the deck, providing a relaxing escape from the heat, as well as an outdoor chill area with comfortable patio furniture. Gather around the firepit to enjoy sundowners and share stories of the day’s adventures while listening to the sounds of raw Africa at night. Guests staying at iBhubesi Game Lodge have a choice of five separate en-suite thatched chalets, each with an outside shower and a fireplace for those chilly winter nights. The chalets are nestled within the trees surrounding the lodge and each is spacious enough to include extra beds should you wish to share a chalet with your younger children. All chalets have king-size beds which can be separated into single beds, if required. At iBhubesi, you have the freedom to opt for fully catered meals or bring your own food while our resident chef handles all the cooking and preparation. Before your arrival, we'll plan and discuss the meal options for the duration of your stay, ensuring they're tailored to your specific preferences. Your stay includes both morning and evening safari game drives, accompanied by your personal professional game ranger. Before the morning game drives, enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee or tea with a rusk. Departure times are flexible, tailored to suit you and your group's convenience. Imagine having an entire safari lodge to yourself, surrounded by the untamed beauty of the African wilderness. No sharing with third parties – just you, your loved ones and the vast wonders of the wild surrounding you.
