Djuma Game Reserve – part of the Sabi Sand in South Africa – offers guests the choice of three luxury Safari Lodges: from the magnificent Bush Lodge to the private Galago, as well as the unique Vuyatela. We strive for our guests’ needs with a “can do” attitude. Vuyatela – meaning “Come and visit again” – is an exclusive lodge that has broken the mould of traditional game lodges and is the pride of Djuma Game Reserve. The chalets, with private deck and pool, built with mud to achieve an authentic effect without sacrificing luxury in anyway. The cultural theme also runs through activities. After morning game drive, guests may accompany their Shangaan guide to his nearby village, where they will have the opportunity of interacting with his family and friends in a very authentic and contemporary African environment. Vuyatela is an expression of modern South African culture. Each of the eight chalets or kayas is secluded in African Bush. The bedrooms look out onto teak decks, which end in private plunge pools. The main lodge includes a large double deck, outdoor dining, wine cellar, bar overlooking the watering hole, indigenous aquarium, suspended bird watching tower. We also offer daily tours to a nearby Shangaan village, where you will learn about customs and traditions of the local people.
