Dube Private Game Reserve



We visited Dube about 3 years ago.
We always wanted to go back as we enjoyed our stay.
So we went back over the weekend of 6 – 8 March 2015.
Dube is about 45 minutes from Pretoria and 70 minutes from Johannesburg.
They offer 130 camp cites.
This malaria-free destination is home to a wide variety of animals, 12 different species of wildlife ranging from: Zebra, Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Warthog, Eland, Kudu, Red Hartebeest, Waterbuck, Blesbuck, Bushpig, Duiker, Jackal, Steen buck, Giraffe and more than 200 species of birdlife have been recorded.
We camped with our off road caravan.
We left early to arrive mid-afternoon. The roads was surprisingly busier than we expected but we still had a relaxing drive.
We found a lovely spot under trees close to Ablution block 5.

Helpers were available to help us setup camp. This help a lot as camp setup was done no-time. They also assisted to help us to rent one of the braai’s.
You can walk and cycle around the park. 



They feed the animals close to reception in the morning and late afternoon and you are welcome to watch.
You can also use your own vehicle to do game drives, but you need to keep to the roads.
The outdoor pools is available to cool down. An indoor heated pool and Jacuzzi’s are also available.
A shop can provide the basics, wood and ice.
They are busy to refurbish the ablution blocks any they really look good.
The only negative was that the showers did not have shelve or bench to put you cloths on. I hope that they will add this.
Overall we had a wonderful weekend and will go back.
