ABOUT IZINTABA PRIVATE GAME RESERVE
Izintaba (which means "a place in the mountains")
Private Game Reserve is home to wonderful examples of
South Africa's magnificent bird life, mammals and innumerable
species of reptiles and insects.
The area is blessed with a temperate climate all year
round and is malaria free.
Ideal for game viewing and bird watching, walking and
mountain biking, Izintaba has six luxurious and fully
equipped self catering cottages and lodges, which are
perfect for family and friend get togethers and special
occasions or just a well deserved weekend break. Leave
your cell phone, TV and city stress behind you and come

ACCOMMODATION
At Izintaba we believe that a stay in the bush can
be enjoyed in style and comfort. The thatched lodges
are luxuriously furnished, very comfortable and overlook
typical Waterberg bushveld.
At the end of the day guests can relax on their patio
and anticipate the magnificent sunset; make a wood fire
in their private lapa, watch the incredible night sky
and savour the heady scents and wild night sounds of
the bushveld.
The kitchens in all the cottages are fully equipped
for self-catering and include all crockery, utensils,
a 4-plate electric or gas stove with oven, a 2-plate
gas cooker, microwave, kettle and fridge/ freezer. Dishwashing
liquid and dishcloths are provided.
All bed linen, bath towels and soaps are provided in
