Imvubu lodge, meaning hippo in Zulu, was inspired by the famous "Huberta the Hippo" who undertook the historic journey from Zululand to East London. Tucked away in the lush greenbelt zone of Richards Bay, we are adjacent to the scenic Lake Menywa and the unspoilt beaches of the Indian Ocean. 

The lodge is conveniently located on a 20 hectare property with a wildlife sanctuary surrounding it, and is within close proximity to the Tuzi Gazi Waterfront, the International heritage site of Lake St Lucia and two world-class game reserves boasting the Big 5.

Currently under development is the "bird and small animal sanctuary", in conjunction with the local bird and wildlife associations, as well as experts in nature conservation.

The entire estate will be fenced off - game reserve style - enabling us to re-introduce small animals and re-habilitate the forest to its previous pristine state. By doing so, we hope to attract even more birds to compliment the already abundant bird life and may even be able to find a mate for our lonesome goliath heron.

The sanctuary will encompass 18 hectares with designated eco-trails, footpaths, hides and viewpoints.
