Accommodation Description


Jembisa Bush Home is a beautifully private safari villa, perfectly positioned in the stunning mountainous region of The Waterberg in Limpopo, South Africa. Tucked away on Jembisa Private Game Reserve, the surrounds offer a peaceful escape from it all, with an extensive diversity of habitats and biomes as well as savannah plains, syringa forests, riverine forests, gullies, rock faces, cliffs, flood plains and the majestic Palala River flowing through the reserve.


Jembisa Bush Home can be booked out on an exclusive-use or per-room basis, and offers comfortable, wonderfully furnished lodgings with six en-suite bedrooms and a children's bunkroom. Five of these en-suite bedrooms are located within the Jembisa Bush Home itself, while the sixth loft-style suite, known as the Garden Room, is adjacent to the lodge and comfortably accommodates two guests. Jembisa Bush Home can host a total of 12 adults and 4 children and features spacious living and dining areas, a pool, tennis court, shaded patio and rolling lawns.


Setting Description


Jembisa Bush Home was initially constructed as a family residence, the very same family continues to operate the reserve, and their ongoing presence has preserved a delightfully laid-back ambience at Jembisa. A stay here is reminiscent of vacationing in a cosy bush home, complete with shared access to personal collections in the library and games room. The lodge's rich heritage has a distinctive atmosphere characterised by warmth, attentiveness, enjoyment, tranquility, and a true sense of being somewhere unique.


There are numerous activities to choose from while staying at Jembisa, suited to all ages and interests. These include day and night game drives, guided bush walks, wildlife camera trap setting, bird watching, campouts under the stars, mountain biking, teen tracker programmes, swimming, fishing, visits to Bushman painting and Iron Age sites on the reserve, and even at-home massage treatments for those looking for more rejuvenation.

Jembisa!

Had the most amazing time with the Jembisa team! The attention to detail of the staff was absolutely off the charts and it made our anniversary weekend away very special. Would recommend Jembisa to anyone looking to relax, eat amazing food and enjoy nature at its finest!

In Vaalwater turn right at the first stop street towards Melkriver. You will see the Jan Vleis sign on the right hand corner. At the next stop street continue straight and travel for ± 40km, where after you will see a dirt road marked Jembisa/Melkriver School/Lapalala. – turn left on to this road. After ± 5km turn right (on the corner there is an old Cape Dutch farm house on the right hand side). Continue on this road for about 5km. The road will bend to the right – the Jembisa gate is just after the turn on the right hand side. Go through the gate straight towards the old airstrip. Take the left road to the main lodge
