Night Life at Ubizane

Coming to the bush means different things to various people. There are some who simply wish to escape the hustle and bustle of city; others are in search of the Big 5 and some who are simply astonished by the wide open spaces, fresh air and breath-taking views. Here at Ubizane, we are fortunate enough to cater to all of the above. Situated within a 1200 hectare reserve, we are a mere 4 kilometers from Hluhluwe Town and a stone throw away from Hluhluwe Umfolozi National Park. 

As the sun sinks, your African experience doesn’t end, a whole different world awakens from its deep slumber.

The birds are the first to kick start the evening’s hustle n bustle with their loud ‘chitter chatter’ and frantic foraging for that last tasty snack, before the sun bids its final farewell.  

The vast African sky is probably the most noticeable feature at night, countless stars scattered across the sky sparkling with pride. At first glance the vast night sky appears to be just an accumulation of tiny lights all crowded together. Allowing your eyes time to adjust to the mysterious darkness that now cloaks the earth, you soon start to see numerous constellations.  

While you lose yourself in the sheer beauty of the night sky, the gentle tune of a cricket and the glisten of a Nyala’s reflection at a moonlit waterhole a few meters away, distract you momentarily from Orion's belt, the Southern Cross, The Three Sisters and Scorpio.
