Game Lodge Accommodation
We live in such an exquisite country that people really need to take more time off to explore all the beautiful off beaten places that our country and continent has to offer. Even though there are magnificent game lodges in Africa, like Jacana Camp and Jao Safari Camp in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, one does not have to cross borders, as South Africa abounds in game reserves where accommodation often plays a major role in choosing a trip. Many first time tourists from foreign countries are often surprised by the quality of the accommodation offered, as images of darkest Africa and primitive camps with no facilities conjour up bleak expectations. While there is a wonderful ambiance to rustic tented camps, visitors from overseas often want to indulge in a 5 star experience and game lodge accommodation does not disappoint as they offer every amenity from spa facilities where facials, hot stone treatments, pedicures and manicures are all laid on to ensure that you are pampered and treated like kings and queens.
From the humble tent and caravan site to exceptional an exclusive lodges, Africa has it all. Careful consideration is given to make sure the game lodges blend in with the natural surroundings. The comfort of the guest in these lodges is never compromised. Some of the luxury game lodge accommodation pride themselves on only the very best and offer fly-ins from Oliver Tambo Airport. Cardinal Leisure, who specialize in arranging fly-in charters with a wide choice of aircraft will be able to arrange flights to your destination to save you the hassle of transport. The bedrooms of some of these lodges with all their trimmings, are so super luxurious that it has been recorded that guests who come specially to view the game, are reluctant to leave such rooms. Of course there is other game lodge accommodation such as Pafuri Camp in the Kruger National Park where the accommodation consists of tented rooms, each with en-suite bathroom facilities, and because the tented rooms look over the river, the guests can sit on their decks and actually watch the animals come to th river to drink. Other self-catering game lodge accommodation can be luxurious, but worn-out, nerve frazzled people looking for quiet release from everyday pressures are not likely to want to be bothered with food preparation while on vacation. There is magnificent game lodge accommodation in the Waterberg where they make use of the natural wood and stone for their buildings and they boast lovely thatched outdoor entertainment areas, which is the ideal setting for the traditional African camp fire where exciting stories are traded while the sounds of the surrounding bush bring those stories to life. Beautiful pools surrounded by rocks make a perfect setting for a dip under the hot African sun. Game lodges also offer wilderness trails where you can literally immerse yourself in the wilderness and then return to your luxurious haven at night, and other sports such as walking, mountain biking, canoeing and fishing are also all available to make sure that one returns hot, dusty and exhausted to a hot spa bath on a wooden deck which will certainly help to soothe those aching muscles. The venue for meals changes at some of the game lodges as sometimes you will eat at separate tables in beautiful dining-rooms or on the viewing decks or you could be eating with all the other guests at long tables set out under huge shady trees, or on lovely evenings they might have you all eating around the fire. Whatever the style, the food served is world class.
Game lodge accommodation invites all who wish to experience the African bush in style to an unforgettable getaway of happy returns.
