About Idube Game Reserve

Idube is situated in the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, adjoining the Kruger National Park in South Africa. This world renowned reserve is known for conservation efforts, particularly in protecting rhino and pangolin. The reserve also extends its efforts to the community on the borders of the Sabi Sands, Mpumalanga, in uplifting and improving their conditions, and in their understanding of the value of the reserve for the future. Idube Game Reserve traverses approximately 10 000 hectares of wildlife area and is home to the big 5 animals, as well as a large variety of other animals. A great draw card for guests is the leopards, which are seen frequently. The lodge was very recently majorly upgraded and opened again in June 2025. As well as 6 new Suites, the bar patio was added as another great area for enjoying the view. All suites have improved Wi-Fi, as do the entertainment areas.

All 14 suites at Idube are now luxury suites, and each with sumptuous African and wildlife-inspired decor and own private deck and pool. There are 8 Safari Suites, 4 Linked Suites, and 2 Makubela suites. Suites are now accessed by raised walkways that run between the beautiful trees.

Accommodation Options

Safari Suites

All suites at Idube Game Reserve are now luxury suites and included in these 14 beautiful suites are our Safari Suites. These 8 private suites all feature a screened entrance off our raised walkways, a private deck/patio with views of the bush, private plunge pool, modern bathroom with a granite indoor/outdoor shower (and glass roof), separate WC, mosquito nets over the bed, African-inspired decor, which bring in the suite’s theme, minibar, coffee station, fan, air-conditioning, mosquito nets on windows and doors, hair dryer and safe. Each suite is accessible from a raised walkway that passes through the trees and has no suite in front of it for unobstructed views of the South African bush.
Enjoy view of the bush and resident wildlife from your patio.
Like the Makubela Suites on the East, 2 of our Safari Suites are at the far end of the West walkway, allowing privacy and distance from the main area, but can also be screened off at the entrance if you’d like the suites to be inter-leading.

Makubela Suites

While all of our suites are luxury suites, the 2 Makubela suites still retain their name and original charm even after some upgrades. These suites are named for a leopard once prowling the area, have amazing views over the bush from their private decks. The location of the suites away from the more public areas of the lodge, makes them especially tranquil and perfect for romance or a special occasion.

Each suite has its own well-stocked mini bar, coffee and tea station, bath, inside and revitalising outside showers, hairdryer, safe, air conditioning and wi-fi. Don’t worry about mosquitoes as nets cover all windows and doors as well as the beds themselves. You can’t help but relax in these sumptuous settings at Idube Game Reserve. If inter-leading suites are required, the Makubelas could work for you.

Linked Suites

We have 4 Linked suites, which are very similar to our Safari Suites and have all the same features, but are configured with families and groups in mind. Two separate and private rooms are connected by a shared patio/deck and a slightly larger pool is shared between the 2 units. These suites are ideal if you’re looking to socialise with friends or make memories with family.

Each suite has its own well-stocked mini bar, coffee and tea station, bath, inside/outside showers with glass roof and granite tiles, hairdryer, safe, air conditioning and wi-fi. Mosquitoe nets cover all windows, doors as well as the bed(s).
