Book Your Stay
Jembisa was originally built as a family home and for many years the owners lived here. The same family still own and run the reserve and with their presence Jembisa has retained a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Staying here really does feel like a holiday to one’s home in the bush with personal collections available to all in the library and games room. The heritage of this safari lodge has given it a unique atmosphere of warmth, care, fun, peace plus an intangible 'special something' that is hard to define.
The Jembisa Bush Home will cater to your every desire. Fancy a refreshing swim in the heated pool, a game of tennis on the floodlit court or just sitting back with a good book; we've got you covered.
Jembisa Bush Home is beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable with spacious, light and airy rooms and 6 en-suite bedrooms and a children’s bunkroom. 5 of the en-suite bedrooms are situated within Jembisa Bush Home and the 6th bedroom, our Garden Room, is adjacent to the lodge and easily accessible for any guests that stay there and can accommodate two guests in a loft style suite.
The total capacity of Jembisa is 12 adults & 4 children. Camp cots are available for infants and can be placed in the parents’ bedroom. Wi-Fi is available in all the rooms.
Whether you wish to relax in style or be more active, there are a host of options available at Jembisa. An essential oils massage on the sundeck, a visit to the bushman rock art, bush walks on the trail of wild game or a traditional game drive, day or night, in open Land Rovers – all are possible. Game on the reserve includes giraffe, zebra, leopard, brown hyena, hippo and crocodile, with opportunities on night drives to see aardvark, civet cats and porcupines.
