Idube Game Reserve

Idube Game Lodge lies in the heart of the world-famous Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, adjoining the Kruger National Park. Home to the Big Five and surrounded by pristine wilderness, Idube offers an unforgettable safari escape.

In early 2025, Idube underwent a spectacular transformation, reimagining interiors and guest spaces while retaining the warm, authentic charm that has made the lodge so loved.

Guests can now choose from:
– 8 Safari Suites with private decks and plunge pools
– 4 Linked Suites, perfect for families and friends, with a shared pool and deck
– 2 Refreshed Makubela Suites, where elephants are frequent visitors at the pools

Each suite features spacious living, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches for comfort and style.

Beyond your suite, discover inviting new spaces: a café-style patio, bar, lounge, firepit, and extended pool deck, complemented by a wine cellar and exceptional dining experiences. From open-air boma dinners and weekly bush braais to private dining in magical locations, every meal is a highlight.

Unwind at the Baobab Spa, recharge in the fully equipped gym, or simply relax by the pool as wildlife wanders past. A charming swing bridge leads to the hide – a favourite spot for quiet game viewing.

Idube Game Lodge is where luxury meets wilderness – an elevated safari experience in one of Africa’s most iconic destinations.
