When staying at Vuyani Safari Lodge you do not only see animals on your morning and afternoon Safaris. we have a couple of animals that love to roam around the lodge.
The most common species that you will see is most probably the Nyala Antelope. Nyala are very docile creatures and if you approach them slowly you can get quite close for a photo. The male and Female Nyala look very different. The males are much more robust with an impressive set of horns, they are also much darker in colour and appear almost grey. They have a white strip of long hairs running down their back (resembles a Mohawk) These hairs will rise to make them appear bigger in size, this is to ward off any predators and to show rival males who is boss. The females are a brown “rusty” colour and have white spots and stripes. They are smaller in size and do not have horns. 
At the lodge we are also frequently visited by Warthogs. These little guys dig up all the delicious roots and bulbs and much to the dismay of our Gardeners, ever so often snag a flower or two 🙂
Then we have the ever present and very mischievous Vervet Monkeys. They sit on the roof or in trees near and around the lodge and scrutinize our every move. If you turn your back for one second they will swoop in and grab any unattended food. Normally when they have grabbed an item (usually a muffin from the Breakfast buffet) they will run to the highest point of the roof and enjoy their delicious snack (right where all the staff can see them but not reach them) Very smart little animals.
If you have visited or planning a visit I am positive that you will see one or all of the above mentioned animals. Having your very own safari right from the pool deck.
