ABOUT DJUMA BUSH LODGE Bush Lodge is a luxurious family lodge within the Djuma Game Reserve, which in turn forms part of the Greater Sabi Sands Game Reserve and shares a border with the Kruger National Park. The lodge building of wood and thatch is unique in construction and is located to offer splendid views of the surrounding African bushveld. Catering for a maximum of 16 guests, Bush lodge is a home away from home, where children are always welcome. Djuma offers an unpretentious, relaxing atmosphere among all the home comforts you would want.

GUEST AREAS The main building has two decks with magnificent views, a dining room, lounge, library and a plunge pool. The magnificent swimming pool is within a small grove of Tamboti trees. The viewing decks overlook the water-hole. There is also an African Boma where dinners are often served under the starry sky. There are full bar facilities for the enjoyment of guests.

GUEST CHALETS Djuma Bush Lodge has 8 luxury thatched bedrooms, all individually situated in indigenous gardens. The rooms have full air-conditioning, ceiling fans and mosquito nets. The bathrooms have baths and showers.

FINE CUISINE Breakfast at Bush Lodge is a full English buffet with all the favourites and a few surprises. Lunches are quite simple with hot and cold dishes. There is an afternoon tea with freshly baked dishes, but the real pièce de résistance is the evening dinner which are served either in the gracious dining room or under the African sky in the Boma around a fire. Four exquisitely balanced courses are carefully combined with fine wines for an occasion to remember for the true gourmand.

WILDLIFE ACTIVITIES At Bush Lodge, they take a broader view of game viewing and offer a safari experience which emphasises the many aspects of the game reserve and do not single mindedly head hunt the traditional Big Five. Guests will also learn about the history of the reserve from experienced guides and trackers. Bush walks are offered after breakfast, whilst two game drives are conducted daily in the early morning and early evening. For a safari with a difference you must try Bush Lodge.
