New suites at Idube Safari Lodge

Two new luxury chalets, the Makubela Suites, have opened at the Idube Safari Lodge, in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga. The lodge has spectacular views of the riverbed and Shadulu Dam, a favourite watering hole for elephant and other game.

The suites are named after one of Idube's much-loved leopards, Makubela, who after being fatally injured by a rival male, returned to Idube's gardens to die.

Complementing the existing eight chalets, which were extensively refurbished in late2010, the two new secluded suites are perfect for honeymooners and those seeking a romantic getaway. Reached by meandering private walkways, each has its own private splash pool, an indoor and outdoor shower, as well as a game-viewing deck overlooking the bushveld. Room service and mini bars are available in each of the air-conditioned suites, which also boast rain water tanks as part of Idube's eco-friendly drive.
