Each lodge has a dedicated housekeeper to assist you wherever necessary, and all lodges are supplied with quality towels, crisp linen, with kitchens fully equipped. Please note that in some lodges where housekeepers do not live in, the housekeepers will be collected at about 2:30pm.
All game reserve bush homes are eco-friendly, and lodges have bomas and braai places and modern amenities. We are ECO friendly and totally OFF GRID, so guests should please be aware to conserve power – and to note that nappies, wipes and any other foreign object cannot be flushed due to the septic tanks.
As our accommodation is in private homes and we are not a hotel, WIFI is generally not provided, so please ensure that you have data roaming (not expensive through SADC countries). If you have a South African sim, driving close to the marina at the RSA border can enable you to pick up signal there.
All our lodges are SELF CATERING. But if you don’t want to cook, just book Kujabula Lodge, bring your food and drinks, and the head housekeeper at this lodge will prepare and cook your breakfast and dinner each day!
