DJUMA GAME RESERVE
SABIE SANDS -
MPUMALANGA PROVINCE
Vuyatela - meaning, "come and visit
again" - is an exclusive lodge that has broken the mould of traditional
game lodges and is the pride of Djuma Game Reserve. The chalets, with
private deck, pool and detached sitting room, reflect local
architecture. Builders used corrugated iron and mud to achieve an  authentic
effect without sacrificing luxury in any way.
The cultural theme also runs through activities. After morning
game-drive guests may accompany their Shangaan guide to his nearby
village, where they will have the opportunity of interacting with his
family and friends in a very authentic and contemporary African
environment.
Vuyatela is an expression of modern South African culture. Each of the
eight chalets or kayas is secluded in African bush. Each of the chalets
at Vuyatela is a collection of buildings joined to each other.
The private lounge is separated from the bedroom by a beautiful Teak
deck, which ends at the private plunge pool. The view from the Teak
deck is into pristine African Savanna with its bounty of animal life.
Each of the buildings that make-up your chalet, or "Kaya" (Shangaan
word for house), is built in a different technique. Some of the
"Kaya’s" have abstract patterns painted on the walls and others have
even domestic scenes painted on them. The suites, which are made up of
bedroom, dressing room and bathroom, lounge, private viewing deck and
plunge pool, AC, fan, mosquito net, bar fridge, telephone.  Each
bathroom, although complete with all indoor facilities, has an outdoor
shower as well. The bedrooms look out onto teak decks, which end in
private plunge pools.
Amenities include:
- 8 luxury suites made up of bedroom, dressing-room and bathroom with
bath and outdoor shower, separate lounge, private deck and plunge pool.
Air-conditioning, fans, mosquito nets, a telephone and bar fridge.

- 2 safaris (game drives) daily. A daily guided walk in the bush.
We also offer daily tours to a nearby Shangaan village, where you will

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.
"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. "
