DJUMA VUYATELA
Kruger Park, South Africa

Introduction

Djuma Vuyatela is located in the Djuma Game Reserve, part of the world-renowned Sabi Sand Reserve, which borders on the Kruger National Park.
Vuyatela means "come and visit again", a term that typifies African hospitality. The lodge has been described by many as extraordinary; by far the most unusual lodge seen by most, a mix of culture and modern expression.

Lodge Description

The lodge consists of 5 chalets joined to each other. The private lounge is separated from the bedroom by a beautiful Teak deck. Each of the chalets, or "Kaya" (Shangaan word for house), is built in a different technique. Amenities include, 8 luxury suites made up of bedroom, dressing-room and bathroom with bath and outdoor shower, separate lounge, private deck and plunge pool. Air-conditioning, fans, mosquito nets, a telephone and bar fridge are all included. The chalets reflect local architecture. Builders used corrugated iron and mud to achieve an authentic effect without sacrificing luxury in any way. The main lodge includes a large double deck, outdoor dining, wine cellar, bar overlooking the watering hole, indigenous aquarium, suspended bird-watching tower. Also available is an internet library with detailed wildlife websites, gym and relaxation room.

Game Viewing

Djuma Game Reserve is home to South Africa’s "Big 5", as well as cheetah, hyena, jackal, buck, giraffe, and zebra. Game drives begin early in the morning, when most of the animals are active and sightings are common. The lodge offers two safaris daily, as well as a daily guided bush walks. The safari experience at Djuma is unique in the sense that the lodge does not only concentrate on the Big Five. In addition to game viewing activities, Djuma offers guests the unique opportunity to learn about the history of the reserve and the local people. You can also sit back and relax under thatch on the upper deck or alongside the outdoor swimming pool which is positioned in a small grove of Tamboti trees.
