Accommodation:
| Djuma Game Reserve
offers guests the choice of three luxury lodges: from the magnificent Bush
Lodge to the private Galago, as well as the unique Vuyatela. At Djuma Game
Reserve we show you the softer, gentler side of Africa with luxury lodges,
sumptuous cuisine and all the creature comforts.
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. |

You will
notice that 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 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
suites, which are made up of bedroom, dressing room and bathroom,
lounge, private viewing deck and plunge pool, AC, fan, mosquito net,
bar fridge, IDD telephone. Each bathroom, although complete with all
indoor facilities, has an outdoor shower. The bedrooms look out onto
teak decks, which end in private plunge pools.
