The chalets lie scattered among Knobthorn and Jackalberry trees. All chalets are equipped with an air-conditioner, fan, tea and coffee facilities, mosquito nets and an outside shower. The bathrooms have recently had a complete makeover and all have double vanity basins, bath, toilet and shower and are finished in natural colours and textures. Each chalet has its own private deck furnished with large, comfortable chairs – just the place to enjoy the birds or watch Idube’s daily animal visitors feeding, as they make their relaxed way across the grass and between the chalets. The two Makubela Suites offer private plunge pools on large patios overlooking the bush. Take a walk down the wooden walkway from the lodge and you will be in your own private world, apart from any other buildings and completely surrounded by natural bush. Each spacious suite has an entrance hall, bedroom and lounge, large bathroom, including bath and shower, and a separate outside shower. The 2 suites can be made interleading. As part of the Makubela package, dinner can served at your suite. The lantern lit romantic dinner served on the private deck will add another unforgettable memory of your Idube holiday. Idube’s secret to success is that it offers some of the best animal sightings in the world at a reasonable price –this area enjoys one of the highest and most bio-diverse wildlife populations of any area in Africa. Idube offers twice-daily game drives and the area is particularly well known for the frequent and excellent sightings of leopard! You’ll also get to view loads of other animals such as elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, zebra and a vast variety of antelope and other species. Knowledgeable rangers and trackers who have been at Idube for many years go out of their way to make the drives and walks interesting and special. RATE INCLUDES: Accommodation All meals Teas and Coffees Afternoon tea Two game drives daily and a safari walk HIGHLIGHTS: Superb wildlife viewing is second to none in the Sabi Sands - you are pretty much guaranteed to see the Big Five – and if you haven’t yet seen the elusive leopard, this is definitely the place to come! We love the underground hide overlooking the Shadulu Dam in front of the lodge. OUR TIPS: Great value! Idube is surrounded by some of the top lodges in the Sabi Sands like Singita and Dulini, which carry far higher price tags For more luxury and privacy it’s worth spending the extra for a Makubela Suite – we admit we’re suckers for private plunge pools!

After years of coming to this bend in the Monwana River to celebrate special occasions we finally decided to build something as remarkable as the setting feels.

The main area has a large, tiered deck with a broad view of the riverbed and a cleverly designed roof that mimics the dappled light of a tree canopy. This is where we love to meet with our guests for a drink or a meal, share stories and listen to the afternoon breeze bringing the surrounding trees to life. Away from the soothing tones of the main area, guests stay in nine luxurious tented suites with stylish interiors, sweeping decks, private pools and uninterrupted views of the seasonal Monwana riverbed. The eight luxury tents with elevated views of the riverbed, are ultra-spacious and sit on permanent foundations. Glass doors open up onto your own extensive private deck and pool, complete with sun loungers and chairs. In a private corner, there’s also an outdoor shower with bush views.
