iBhubesi Private Game Lodge

iBhubesi Game Lodge is set within Welgevonden Game Reserve overlooking the sweeping iBhubesi Plains. This exquisitely-appointed Lodge is hired out on an exclusive-use basis and can accommodate up to 10 guests at one time, making it ideal for an extended family or group getaway.

The Lodge has five separate thatched chalets, secluded beneath the surrounding trees, each with an en-suite bathroom, outside shower plus a private fireplace for those chilly winter nights. Each luxurious double chalet is spacious enough to accommodate additional beds should you need to share it with younger children.

The communal area comprises an elegant open plan lounge, dining room, and fully-equipped kitchen adjoining a swimming pool and exterior viewing deck, the perfect spot to laze away the afternoon watching the resident bird-and wildlife at play. There is also a Boma where you can tuck into a fireside dinner and spend time socialising with friends and family under a crisp star-filled sky.

Although the Lodge is self-catering, and guests are responsible for supplying all their food and beverages, use of the Lodge does include the services of a live-in chef who will take charge of preparing all your meals. 

While the unlimited daily game drives in your own private 4X4 vehicle under the guidance of a dedicated ranger ensure you enjoy exceptional and unhindered game viewing. A stay at iBhubesi Game Lodge offers a unique opportunity to enjoy up close and personal encounters with the impressive diversity of fauna and flora that call
Welgevonden home including the entire Big 5 contingent.

If you’re looking to enjoy an intimate African wilderness experience without forfeiting your creature comforts, iBhubesi Game Lodge will not disappoint.
