Vuyatela Vuyatela is an expression of modern South African culture. Each of the eight chalets or kayas is secluded in African bush. The bedrooms look out onto teak decks, which end in private plunge pools. Main lodge includes a large double deck, outdoor dining, wine cellar, bar overlooking the watering hole, indigenous aquarium, suspended bird-watching tower, Internet library with detailed wildlife websites, gym and relaxation room. "Vuyatela Lodge is both extraordinary and wonderful - by far the most unusual bush camp we have ever seen. It is the actualised dream of its idealistic visionary owners, who aimed to create a camp which perfectly combines the natural and contemporary cultural components of Africa. The attention to detail is exquisite, with hand made mosaics decorating the bathrooms, and the exteriors cleverly painted by local Shangaan villagers. "

Accommodations Each of the 8 luxury suites has a bedroom, dressing-room and bathroom with outdoor shower, separate lounge, private deck and plunge pool. All rooms have air-conditioning, fans, mosquito nets, IDD telephone and bar fridge. The view from the Teak deck is into pristine African Savanna with its bounty of animal life. We had water buck and nyala feeding so close to our room they were actually looking in through the window!

Activities Shortly before sunrise you are awakened with steaming coffee and biscuits. As the sun rises - a magical time of the day - we set off on our morning game drive. After the exciting morning drive we sit down for a hearty breakfast cooked on the open fire. The mid morning activities include a bush walk and / or a cultural drive to the local village. During the bush walk your guide will show some of the smaller things such as animal tracks, the diverse array of insects, or even a chameleon waiting in ambush of an insect meal.

Wildlife Vuyatela is in a prima game viewing area and the legendary animals -The 'Big Five' - Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Rhino and Elephant, so-called because of their ferocity when hunted, are all seen on a regular basis. A close encounter with one of these magnificent beasts is an experience of a lifetime.

Cuisine The idea of our cuisine is to take guests back to the basics of Southern African food with classic dishes but placing an emphasis on quality ingredients. Along with the simple, but impressive presentation, and the richness of African cuisine, we intend intriguing the palates of our guests, leaving enough mystery for a return visit.
