VUYATELA |
|
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, pool and detached
sitting room, reflect local architecture.
The cultural theme also runs through activities. After
the 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 the African bush. The bedrooms look out onto teak
decks, which end in private plunge pools.
The private lounge
is separated from the bedroom by a beautiful Teak deck,
which ends at the private plunge pool.
The view from the teak deck is into pristine African
Savanna with its bounty of animal life.
You will notice that each of the buildings that make-up
your chalet, or "Kaya" (Shangaan word for
house), is built in a different style and decorated
in its own unique way.
AMENITIES
8 luxury suites made up of bedroom, dressing-room
and bathroom with bath and outdoor shower, separate
lounge, private viewing deck and plunge pool. Each
of the luxury suites has air-conditioning, fans, mosquito
nets, telephone and bar fridge.
Each bathroom, complete with all indoor facilities,
has an outdoor shower as well.
Vuyatela main lodge has a large double deck, outdoor
dining, wine cellar, bar overlooking the watering hole,
aquarium with indigenous fish, suspended bird-watching
tower. There is also an Internet library with detailed
wildlife websites, a gym and a relaxation room.
CUISINE
Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and fresh bakes as
well as dinner daily.
The idea of our cuisine is to take guests back to
the basics of Southern African food with classic dishes
placing an emphasis on quality ingredients.
ACTIVITIES
2 game drives daily, as well as daily guided walk
in the bush.
We also offer daily tours to a nearby Shangaan village,
where you will learn about the customs and traditions
of the local people.
