It's the bush tales that make lodge stays so memorable
Star - 17 May 2011
Good storytelling is the essence of a bush lodge experience, writes Helen Grange. The rangers at Idube and Lukimbi lodges are adept at this, and can choose a good wine to boot.
A Leopard named Makubela used to lounge around the swimming pool at Idube Lodge, but was killed last year by another leopard staking his claim on the territory just beyond the lodge perimeter. Makubela came home to die, of a punctured lung, and he's been so missed by the owners and staff that the new luxury suites have been named after the handsome, near-tame big cat.
It's stories like these - unmentioned in the marketing spiel - that create a sense and memory of a place, and they come as part of the deal at private lodges such as Idube, established 25 years ago in the Sabi Sand game reserve on the southwest border of the Kruger National Park. Like the tale of the mystery elephant who eluded staff for ages as they tried to figure out how one of the plunge pools was drained every morning....
Lukimbi: "I have been on safari before but I was hesitant on the quality of this lodge. It has far exceeded my expectations (which are pretty high). Both guide and
tracker were to put it simply "awesome". Food was excellent. I would and will recommend this lodge to others!!"
