Idube Private Game Reserve
| 
Overview
Idube is dedicated to giving guests a genuine and informative experience in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Rangers delight in showing guests zebra and much loved giraffe. Cheetahs and wild dogs are more difficult to see, but add to the thrill of the adventure.
At night, guests might see hippos feeding out of the water, while tailed mongooses, bushbabies, civets or fleet footed jackals, not to mention lions on the hunt. These are ust some of the fabulous wildlife Idube can offer. For the many birders, there are more than 300 species of birds, a wealth of bird spotting moments.
Accommodation

Idube has 8 en-suite chalets, each individually decorated, with attractively draped mosquito nets, giving a touch of safari romance.
