01 — Overview
The safari lodge
‘iBhubesi’ means lion so it’s fitting that the land surrounding this family-friendly lodge are known as the iBhubesi Plains, teeming as they are with lions and other members of the Big Five.
iBhubesi sleeps 10 on an exclusive-use basis and is semi self-catering: you simply bring your favourite food and drink along and the chefs take care of the rest. The lodge is fenced and the azure pool beckons on hot summer days.
