Deep in the bushveld overlooking a waterhole and an open plain, lies a lodge that pulses to the rhythm of Africa’s heartbeat. Bush Lodge has earned a reputation of a “luxury home in the bush”, service excellence, personalised attention and offers an unrivalled 5-Star family safari.
Each stunning air-conditioned suite features sumptuous linens and fabrics, beautiful leather and wood furnishings, and an en-suite glass fronted bathroom with indoor and al-fresco shower leading onto a private patio.
Families with children of all ages are welcome and well-catered for at Bush Lodge and at the EleFun Centre where fun and games with trained caregivers are aimed at nurturing a deeper understanding and love for the surrounding bush.
There is ample space to relax, unwind and savour the tranquility of the bush. The two swimming pools and enormous covered viewing decks overhanging the Msuthlu riverbed are an invitation to cool off in the filtered water or sit in comfort while spotting game at the nearby pan. An exquisitely furnished lounge, atrium and intimate bar area are perfect meeting places for friends old and new.
As an extra indulgence, the Amani Spa at Bush Lodge offers the ultimate African spa experience.

Magarugue Island is the smallest island and closest island to the mainland and the fishing town of Vilankulo. Travel with a traditional Dhow, enjoy cooked lunch prepared on the open fire on the boat itself and snorkel along with the stream of the ‘Magaruague Express’, enjoying ample marine life and coral worlds. Families with small children often opt for this specific trip as they can easily walk around the entire island in less than two hours and swim in the sheltered bay facing the mainland, protected from strong sea currents.

Since 2014, Bahia Mar has supported community preschools in Vilankulo to provide learn-through-play opportunities to local three to five year olds. Without this support, children would start school at six years old and miss out on critical development opportunities that bring life-long benefits.
The children love to receive visits from guests!
Bahia Mar partnered as exclusive sponsor, with ParCo and the local authorities, to combat large-scale seahorse poaching in the area through an intensive campaign at the end of 2018.
Through education, enforcement, research, and tourism, the community is finding alternative incomes linked with the protection of the seahorse species instead of poaching.
When you embark on an adventure to snorkel with the seahorses led by the local community, you contribute to protection too!
Expect flat, waist deep water and consistent winds making this spot a kitesurfers paradise.
