Idube Safari Lodge New Look - 2025

Plung Pools, New Family Suites & Much More

After a major renovation that started 11 January 2025, Idube Safari Lodge proudly opened its doors once again on 17 June 2025. The substantial renovation focused on upgrading rooms and facilities across the property, with all suites now featuring private plunge pools, improved eco-conscious amenities, and stylish interiors that reflect the surrounding wilderness. Communal areas such as the dining deck, bar, and pool were also enhanced to provide greater comfort and a stronger connection to the bush setting.

These upgrades reinforce Idube’s commitment to delivering an authentic safari experience while ensuring guests enjoy modern luxury in the heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Known for exceptional Big 5 sightings, the lodge now offers an even more immersive and relaxing stay. With thoughtful improvements and a refreshed atmosphere, Idube is ready to welcome both returning guests and first-time adventurers to experience the magic of the African wilderness in elevated style.

What a memorable stay.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Booking the experience through Andy set the tone for the stress-free bush experience.

From the vanilla scented towels, to the delicious food, exciting game drives and phenomenal staff, our stay at Shiduli was magical from the second we arrived and lives in our hearts long after we left.

Your helpful staff greeted us as we arrived and and were with us every step of the way... literally. We were escorted to our private villa by Gary, who my children absolutely adored. Richard, in the bar was on form and Gogo Dorris had faith that we would see lions... which we did.

Thandy and Karen were friendly, professional and made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back and will bring our friends and family so they can share in this beautiful gem.

We’ve have just come back from a 3 night stay at earth lodge. One word incredible. We got to see the big 5 and a lot more animals. The game drives were amazing. The Knowledge of the tracker (Donald) and our guide (Helen) was exceptional and they ensured we were able to see everything. We seen leopards, cheetahs and lions. You stop for a morning coffee out in the bush and sundowners in the evening, this was also excellently organised. The rooms are absolutely stunning with the biggest mini bar I’ve ever seen. The drink options are fantastic. Super comfortable rooms and luxurious. Food was superb. Each evening there was a different location for dinner excellently curated by the team at the hotel, with food prepared to a very high standard. We also used the gym facilities which were great. The service and operational standards at this hotel are exceptional. I would 100% stay at this lodge again it was such an incredible experience
