Djumas’ Vuyatela Lodge is a medium-sized eight roomed camp in the heart of the northern sector of the Sabi Sands. The lodge is unique in that the furnishings and artwork reflect modern Africa with lovely bright mosaic stone artwork and local contemporary pieces. The main lodge area is extremely spacious and guests have a typical safari experience watching wildlife in and around the dam in front of the lodge. In addition there is a lofty tower just off the main deck which provides stunning views and photographic opportunities. The rooms are again supremely spacious. There is a small separate living room with a couch, basic kitchenette and a desk. Each bedroom has its own small plunge pool on a large deck. The outdoor shower is fantastic and the bathrooms are well furnished. The furnishings are of a bright modern African theme. Food is served buffet style and is based on traditional South African style cooking. The staff are friendly and the service is commendable.
Djuma Game Reserve is an enviable safari operation. It has an extended traverse area of 7500 hectares (more than many other lodges in the area) over the Gowrie and private Buffelshoek sectors in the northern part of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. There are plenty of dams in this region which can attract large numbers of game during the winter months – notably large herds of buffalo. Predators are common and the big cat viewing is exceptional. Djuma Game Reserve and its respective lodges all have a strong commitment to the upliftment and empowerment of the local community. It is an active partner in the Buffelshoek Trust and is extensively involved in infrastructure, economic and social investment in the villages north of its borders. Wild Earth, an innovative live website which streams game drives and waterhole activity is based at Djuma.
Djuma Bush Lodge is perfect for couples and small groups who are looking for an excellent safari experience whilst staying in a lodge that is adequately comfortable and has a completely relaxed atmosphere. Although the lodge accepts children it isn’t really suitable for kids under the age of seven.
