ACCOMMODATION OVERVIEW

iBhubesi Private Game Lodge is an exclusive family friendly self-catering lodge that is booked in its entirety for up to 10 guests in the heart of the Malaria Free Big 5 Welgevonden Game Reserve. Welgevonden Game Reserve is a mere 2.5 hours’ drive from Johannesburg and offers excellent Big Five game viewing opportunities. The self-catering lodge is unique, in the sense that guests are required to bring all their own beverages and food, though the meals will be prepared by the resident chef. 

The accommodation is nestled within the trees surrounding the lodge and comprises 5 separate chalets each with a private outdoor shower and en-suite bathrooms. For those with younger children, extra beds can be placed in the rooms. Three of the chalets comprise queen size beds, the other 2 chalets have twin beds which can be pushed together on request. Each room is complete with a wood burning fireplace, quality linen, bath towels and a small wooden deck to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding rugged bush-veld.

The viewing deck at iBhubesi overlooks the iBhubesi Plains and is the ideal spot to take pleasure in the spectacular scenery. The deck is complete with a fenced swimming pool, open air boma and braai facilities. The lodge offers a number of added facilities including a comfortably furnished lounge with fireplace, library and a dining area. Guests have the option to decide where to eat, whether it be alfresco on the deck area, at the boma or for the cooler winter nights, inside the main lodge. 

Included in your stay, is the opulence of going on morning and evening game drives in a private 10 seater game vehicle with a dedicated and experienced game ranger. Tea, coffee, muffins and rusks are available in the morning, whilst evening game drives can be accompanied by snacks and sunset sundowners to watch the African sun bid farewell to yet another day. 

This is quite unlike anywhere else on earth… experience the spirit of true wilderness at Welgevonden Game Reserve in the Waterberg District of the Limpopo Province.
