Experience the long eye lashes of giraffe, the elegance of the fawn eland and the unmistakable elegance of a sable bull. Pick wild fennel for your gin and tonics from the field, capture striking photographs of hornbills on trees and experience butterflies in an indigenous garden.
Welcome to Iganu, a malaria-free game lodge just four hours from Johannesburg. It is magically in the middle of the sticks, the perfect escape from city life. All you hear at night is bleating wildebeest, an owl if you are lucky, and silence pierced by dramatic summer storms.
Hire out the lodge out for ten people and enjoy complete privacy and personal service. Combine our rustic and hearty farm-style fare with afternoon dips in the pool, a restful nap followed by a sunset drink in the bush. Or take a walk and observe the markings of impala, zebra and kudu, learn about their “spoor” or the track and the scent of animals.
Designed by local craftsmen, the accommodation is set in an indigenous garden, dotted by camel thorn trees, adorned by colourful butterflies, and enclosed by an amphitheatre of hills bordering Botswana.
We sleep up to 14 guests in thatched accommodation and eight in a tented camp.
The public guest area comprises both indoor and outdoor living and dining areas, a bar to sip on a gin and tonic while playing chess, and a library to pick up knowledge about mammals in southern Africa. All of this opens out to a swimming pool and lazy lounges.
