Your Taj Bush Lodge Experience

The location and layout of Taj Bush Lodge is truly superb. Here in the Balule Game Reserve, you are completely surrounded by nature without a highway in sight.

Another stand-out feature of this loveable lodge is its warm and welcoming atmosphere where the team work together to make sure your stay is comfortable and relaxed. There is always someone nearby to help you or offer you a hot or cold drink, or a genuine smile.

The guides are true professionals and make sure game drives run like clockwork. They are master storytellers and can pinpoint the exact location of certain wildlife, from prides of lions, to towering giraffes and warthogs on patrol.

They will even sit with you for a while during dinner by the fire to share some of their favourite bush stories. If you’re looking for a safari with that sort of personal experience, then you really can’t go wrong with a few nights at Taj Bush Lodge. 

The suites are spacious and provide total privacy, and after a busy day out in the Balule bush, you’ll always feel like you’re coming home. The beds are big and comfy, and the air-conditioning is a huge plus when the temperature heats up, while the hot tubs keep you warm at night on your private deck.
