It’s been a long and busy year, and most of us are ready for a well-deserved break. The best remedy for a year’s worth of stress is a little bit of Hluhluwe bush therapy. We’ve put together a few ideas of how to unwind this December so planning your festive season break will be a breeze.

Treat yourself to a full body massage

The Nibela Bush Spa is just the place to ease into that holiday feeling. With a wide range of rejuvenating treatments using top quality products, there is something for everyone at this secluded spa. Treat yourself to a full body massage, relax into a facial or rest your tired feet with a luxurious pedicure. You’ll be in the expert hands of the onsite beauty technician who will ensure all your worries float away.

Join Lucky on a birding tour

A twitcher’s delight, the reserve around Nibela is filled with an array of colourful bird species. Spend a morning strolling through the forest surrounding the lodge with our resident birding expert Lucky Ngubane. Learn all about the fascinating bird species that make the luscious vegetation their home, from their distinctive calls to their varied markings.

Put your feet up at the pool

Pick up a good read, have your sunscreen at the ready and make your way down to the pool at Nibela Lake Lodge. Situated on the edge of the expansive lake, this shady spot is perfect for whiling away the hours in the warm Hluhluwe sun. If you’re lucky, you’ll even spot some of the spectacular birdlife that make the forest their home.

Drinks on the sundowner deck

Situated on the opposite side of the peninsula, the sundowner deck is the ideal place to watch as the sun dips behind the horizon with your favourite drink in hand. A picture-perfect summary to a relaxing day in KZN!

There’s not much that beats waking up to the sound of birds singing in one of the secluded chalets nestled in the jungle overlooking the iSimagaliso park at Nibela Lake Lodge. Book your stay at our Hluhluwe accommodation by contacting our friendly reservations team today.
