Flying into Kruger National Park on a charter plane and landing on a short runway strip in the grasses with warthogs and zebras visible along the sides, was nothing short of magical. And then we were driven to Vuyatela Lodge and the real magic began. From the morning game drives to the evening sundowner drives to the 5 star dinners... More

I just returned from a three night stay at Djuma Galago and what a treat! It was my first trip to the Sabi Sands and I could not have been more impressed. Galago camp is quaint and lovely with a gorgeous main room and outdoor dining table and a great viewing deck (even had the elephants drinking during breakfast!). Our... More

On my very first Safari, with a small group (ImagesinAfrica.com) there was a sign on the entry way to my private, luxurious Quarters (Chalet) that said "I'm Dreaming of Africa." Well that is exactly what I am doing today, three months after my trip. We stayed at Galago and chose to bring our own food. This turned out to be... More

This has been my 5th or 6th visit to Djuma and it truly is one of my favorite places in the world. We have stayed at Galago many times, and this time at Vuyatela. The rooms are spectacular with outside showers and private decks overlooking the bush. What makes this place truly special is the staff! Wether you get Aubrey... More

It is a week since we returned from Vuyatela Lodge at Djuma, but I am still reading up and contextualising the experience. Nothing prepared me for how good it was going to be! The bushveld scenery is magnificent, with beautiful trees, the lodge is luxurious without being pretentious and the staff were friendly, helpful and very, very capable: special mention... More

I never thought I would be able to recharge my batteries by spending a weekend away in the bush. But that is exactly what happened at Vuyatela. The lodge itself is beautiful, decorated with local South Africa art. The staff friendly and attentive without being intrusive. It was wonderful to come back from a superb game drive, to a delicious... More

A group of friends joined me for a spectacular break away at Vuyatela Lodge in the Sabi Sands. We were thoroughly spoilt by Luzile who made magic with our supplies and produced mouth-watering meals. The lodge itself is luxurious but also quirky and fun with really funky artwork and details. Of course, Pippa's mosaics are stunning and make a really... More

I was honoured to take my whole family to Vuyatela Private game Lodge, - as a Self catering lodge, a person has a preconceived idea,but W O W!!!! you have no idea,...as you get there, you are greeted by friendly staff, who unpack your car, - drop off your groceries, in the kitchen, and "voila" - your private chef does...

Joined another family for a weekend in April 2012. Game viewing was unbelievable - saw no Zebra though - priceless sigtings of big 5 in first 24 hours. Facilities was top class. Even though it was selfcatering we were treated by an amazing chef Luzile and all meals were 5 star. Will go back anytime and can recommend to anybody... More
