Kruger National Park Idube Game Reserve South African Safari Lodge

Idube is a safari lodge situated in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, in the heart of South Africa’s premier wildlife conservation area of the Greater Kruger Park.
Game, including the Big 5, is viewed really close by from open Land rovers, or spotted on guided walks.
All our experienced rangers and trackers are trained to give guests the best possible wild life experience.
The lodge has 10 comfortable chalets, set amongst green lawns and shady trees.
In between drives, guests can enjoy the pool and bird watch, or relax on their private decks and watch the warthogs and the nyala families on the lawn.
Idube is dedicated to giving guests a genuine and informative experience in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

The lodge is set in an indigenous garden of tall trees and cool, green lawns.
Originally designed to blend into the bush with rough, natural colored bricks, plastered walls round the outside showers have been added creating a pleasing contrast.
Tiled roofs create a clean, cool interior.
The thatched bar and entertainment areas have an immediate appeal and are the focal areas for guests to gather.
The open lounge is a great place to relax, whilst waiting to see what animals will come wandering in front of the lodge.
The swimming pool is well situated for both bird watching and game viewing, whilst cooling off with a refreshing drink in hand.
Idube happily hosts families of nyala and warthogs, which are seen almost daily around the entire lodge area. Many guests prefer just to sit on their private deck enjoying the quiet and watching squirrels, monkeys or the many other creatures that have made Idube their home.

Activities & Facilities
Game Drives
There is an early morning game drive and a late afternoon/evening game drive over an area of approximately 24 700 acres (10 000 hectares).
Guests can expect to see some, if not all, the Big 5, as well as many other species of game and some of the over 300 species of birds.
Animals are usually seen from very close quarters, the sighting is professionally handled and controlled. Drives are normally 3 to 4 hours long, with a stop along the way for tea, coffee or sundowners. Idube is particularly well known for the frequent and excellent sightings of leopards - a photographer’s dream come true.
Bush Walks.
After breakfast, a morning guided walk is offered or guests can relax round the pool or on their decks.
There are also photographic shows and talks given by the Rangers on their particular topic, including the customs and history of the Shangaan people.
Wildlife Experience
Idube is chosen by visitors from all round the world who want to see not only lions, leopards, buffalo, rhinos and elephants, but the many other creatures that make taking an African safari so exciting.
Impala, kudu, waterbuck and nyala, some of our many antelope species, are seen frequently.
Rangers delight in showing guests zebra and the much loved giraffe. Cheetahs and wild dogs are more difficult to see, but add to the thrill of the adventure.
At night, guests might see hippos feeding out of the water, white tailed mongooses, bushbabies, civets or the fleet footed jackals, not to mention lions on the hunt. These are just some of the fabulous wildlife Idube can offer.
For the many birders, there are more than 300 species of birds, a wealth of bird spotting moments.
Bar
Idube has a well stocked bar open after breakfast, where we offer a large variety of South African wine or other drinks, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Guests gather there before dinner and it is a great place to swap game viewing stories, or to enjoy the games and solve the rangers' riddles.
