“When you arrive here you don’t have to look
for the Kalahari. The red dunes are here, the Camelthorn trees are all
over and you see such a high density of game.”
Towering over the pans of the Auob wetlands is the Suricate Tented Lodge
which has been built on top of a majestic red dune.
The tents which combine the ultimate African safari experience with the
comforts and luxuries of modern day living leave a lasting impression on
all our guests.
There are 12 tents complete with mini bars, safes, mosquito nets and all
the amenities available at the other lodges with the added benefit of an
open-air en-suite bathroom and a deck. One of the tents is a honey-moon
suite, which is appropriately distanced from the other tents and has its
own plunge pool for the convenience of the romantic couple.
The main lodge area is also intriguing as it boasts a large deck that
overlooks the entire shimmering pan and the warbling waters of the
infinity pool release any tension. Guests can choose to have their meals
in the communal dining room which also has a built in fire place and
bean bags for guests to relax on or to enjoy their meal on the deck
surveying the pans.
At night guests enjoy the starry skies with drinks by the fire pit with
the friendly staff at your beck and call, ready and willing to assist
you with planning your day or with facilitating any activities guests
may want to enjoy.
This lodge is designed to induce pure respite from the tensions of
modern day life and many guests spend hours watching the variety of
animals make their way through the pan during the day.
The landscape is breath-taking and during the rainy season
(January-March), the most incredible sight to behold, is the various
animals making paths through the muddy pans which fill up.
Guests of the Intu Afrika Game Reserve are encouraged to spend more than
one night at the lodge because of the variety of activities with which
guests can occupy and enthral themselves with. Guests can explore the
neighbouring lodges and choose to have dinner at one of the other lodges
or to spoil themselves with the ever popular dune dinner.
All the activities on offer at the Game Reserve can be enjoyed at any of
the lodges and the friendly staff efficiently facilitate the client’s
desires. So whether it’s a game sunset game drive on an open-air 4×4
vehicle or on a quad bike, or a walk with the Bushman (San) or simply a
massage, simply ask, it shall be done.
