Exclusive game lodge accommodation
(private game parks / concessions)
|
These private game lodges can
be secured in any combination of the recommended packages i.e. “Five
Day African Dream” or on a stand alone basis. It needs noting however
that they are exclusive and as such one can expect to pay more for their
facilities. |
(a) Mkuze Falls Luxury Lodge
|
|
|
View from the bedroom porch
of an en-suite unit. |
En-suite bedroom unit |
| Exclusive luxury private lodge in a
privately run “Big Five” game reserve. The lodge overlooks
the spectacular Mkuze Falls. Early morning and late afternoon and
evening game drives are featured in the package. Attention to detail
is paid at this lodge which surely must rank amongst the best in Kwa
Zulu / Natal. |
| (b)Mkuze Falls Tented Camp |
|
|
|
Exclusive facilities for the tented camp.
|
| For those that like their comforts thrown
in with a real taste of the wild this tented lodge is a winner. Located
on the banks of the Mkuze river with air-conditioned tents, sundeck and
private swimming pool this camp has to be seen to be believed. Bush walks
and game drives are conducted from this setting. |
| (c)Tembe Elephant Park |
|
|
One of the spacious Matriarch en-suite units
|
|
Tembe elephant Park is located
on the northern border of Kwa Zulu Natal. The exclusivity of this
lodge refers purely to the limited numbers of visitors that are
permitted into this 300 kilometre square reserve on a daily basis
so as to preserve the sanctity of this virgin wilderness area.
This Park is famous for the last original
Kwa zulu-Natal elephants which until very recently were free roaming.
They have now been enclosed in Tembe Elephant Park – for their
own self preservation as during their regular crossings into Mozambique
they were being poached by the locals with automatic weapons. If
you are an elephant lover then this is a reserve you will enjoy.
The Tembe elephants, argue-ably larger than those in Hluhluwe /Imfolozi
are huge tuskers.
Fairly
recently lion were introduced into the Park so the status of the Park
is such that it is now a “Big Five” reserve. The terrain at
Tembe is wild virgin bush and sand veld. |
| (d)White Elephant Lodge |
|
|
Colonial style luxury tent
|
|
| Located in the Pongola Game Reserve
this exclusive luxury lodge is typical of colonial style up-market
tented type lodges. The Pongola Game Reserve abutts Lake Josini –
home to many crocodiles and hippos and famous for it’s Tiger
fishing. Tiger fishing, game drives, bush walks and elephant tracking
are all available at White Elephant Lodge. Whilst there are no lion
in this reserve, elephant, rhino, giraffe etc. are all found here.
An added advantage is the opportunity to take a sunset cruise on the
water. |
