New Beginnings…

On the 1st of June 2016 it marked my 4th year at Vuyani Safari Lodge. I cannot even begin to describe how much has changed over the past years. All for the better of course!
We have come a long way since that first day I walked in to the lodge back in 2012. So I thought I would give you a bit of a glimpse of our latest accomplishment. IMG_3796

The Chefs (especially Kalmay) could not wait for the new kitchen! She was super excited and probably asked Craig about a thousand times “Is it ready yet?” For the rest of the staff here at the lodge, the construction felt like it was taking years….I think because we were all so impatient to see the finished product! And what a finish it was, absolutely stunning. I will never forget the look on the Chefs faces when the entered the new kitchen – priceless.
Our new main building consists of a HUGE dining room with not one, but TWO fireplaces! It has been keeping the guests very toasty during the cold winter times. Recks absolutely loves the fact that he can now build two fires instead of one.
We still have our open plan kitchen, but we also now have a “back” kitchen with an amazing amount of storage and two stove/ovens, a walk in fridge and walk in freezer! You can just imagine how ecstatic the Kitchen staff were.
We also have a new bar area in this main building for dinner – and we are still finishing up the outside fire pit area. It is going to be amazing. You can relax around the fire with a pre-dinner G&T before enjoying a lovely meal inside the warm and toasty dining room. IMG_3804

We also have a treatment room for massages and a full time massage therapist on site. Be sure to have a peek at the spa menu and book your treatment.
We have an area set aside for the new Gym and this is still in the works, but will hopefully be up and running soon.
The new building also boasts with so much more storage area and we have moved the entire Laundry operation to that side also!
Another magnificent project that can only improve our guest experience here at Vuyani Safari Lodge.

I snapped a few quick photos to post, the professional photos should be up on our website soon.
