Patriotism, every single person in the world has their own level of patriotism. What makes us proud to be a citizen of our country, and each country has its own story to tell.
South Africa has been my home for the past 28 years of my life. I was born here, raised here and will surely grow very old here. I love my country, it has so much to offer, it is so culturally diverse and it truly is the Rainbow Nation. 
Tourism is our biggest niche, we have everything to put forward and more. In South Africa alone we have the desert, the beach, the mountains, cities, vineyards and my personal preference: the bush. Safaris have long been extremely popular in South Africa – and if you have taken the time to join us at Vuyani Safari Lodge, you know exactly what I am talking about. If you haven’t visited us yet, I recommend you seriously consider this, at least once in your life (though it is likely to be more many more times once you have visited this country to fall in love with).
Vuyani Safari Lodge is based in what we call the rhombus of Safari destinations, we are centrally based and the landscape is exceptionally diverse and our wild and birdlife astonishing, not to mention the plants and geology.
Here is to name but a few of the aspects that make this country, this area and Vuyani Safari Lodge your next travel destination. We offer daytrips to the eminent Kruger National Park – one of the country’s greatest treasures! We get involved in conservation by supporting our local Animal Rehabilitation Centres. We offer a glimpse into the wonderful world of Geology and birding by doing a Boat Trip in the Blyde River Canyon, which I might add, is the third largest Canyon in the world and the only green canyon. We allow our guests to get up, close and personal with Africa’s giants by taking you to an Elephant Sanctuary where you will interact with these gentle creatures – which is an unforgettable experience. By doing a Panorama trip you experience the most beautiful of what the South African Landscape has to offer, you see the diversity of the cultures in the brightly coloured markets along the way. You can take a hot air balloon ride and have a bird’s eye view of the Lowveld. 
This is what makes our country so wonderfully diverse, and give guests at Vuyani Safari Lodge a memorable safari experience. All our day trips are led by our expert rangers, so you will have a very informative and proudly South African experience.
So if you have planned your holiday to spot the Big 5 or just take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding Landscape, even if your heart has been stolen by the conservation of South Africa’s wildlife – Vuyani Safari Lodge is the perfect destination.
