HHead to Bushwa Private Game Lodge, – situated in a malaria-free area – and be ready for a warm reception from the general manager, Lisa McColl.
Within minutes, you will be seated in the bar area with drinks in hand before tucking into a homemade dinner. The dinner menu, conceived by junior chef Danelle Naude, is a winner in every way. Every dish served is imaginative, packed with flavour, and beautifully presented.
Stuffed from a truly remarkable dinner, which was an intimate affair shared with a handful of other guests, you can retire to the luxury safari-style chalet.
Did You Know?
TThe Kruger National Park straddles both Mpumalanga and Limpopo and is the obvious drawcard, making it one of the hottest destinations for wildlife lovers.
TThe canopy bed will steal your attention when you open the door. The en-suite bathroom leads to an outdoor stone shower, which is perfect during those balmy summer days and nights.
This nirvana of bushveld establishments is aggrandised by its safari-chic décor.
Opt to sleep in and enjoy a leisurely breakfast the following day. Lunch will follow and then a short siesta on the viewing deck and an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle. Zebras, elephants, wildebeests and kudus, 300 species of resident and migrant birds, elands, warthogs, waterbuck, bush pigs, leopards, jackals, brown hyenas, and baboons have all made this beautiful place their home.

TThe sun retreating behind the hills on the horizon and the air becoming colder, meant it was time for sundowners. Of course, you can’t visit a game lodge and not experience a boma dinner under the stars.
Kept warm by the huge bonfire at the centre, tuck into a delicious spread of braai meat, pap, salads, bread, rolls, and dessert, of course. The ever-attentive Lisa and her staff were on hand to top-up our glasses.
Talk about another beautiful, serene day, where the lack of a TV set encourages you to unwind and socialise with your fellow diners. New friends were made while the calories pile on.
There are several accommodation options including a luxury chalet/tent, the tree house overlooking the watering hole or the self-catering bush camp.
The personalised touch provided by the staff makes every guest feel valued. And the divine dishes and ambience is the perfect antidote to erase those everyday stresses of life.
You leave feeling thoroughly rejuvenated, especially after inhaling all that wonderful fresh air.
Food is an integral part of any travel experience. When you are constantly served meals that tickle your taste buds, you become interested to learn more about the person behind the menu.
That person was Danelle Naude, who served under executive chef Elizabeth Monyeki.
