Preparations for the re-opening of Vuyatela and a fresh new start to the new Galago Camp are well underway. We are so excited with the developments that we could not hold back and just had to show you some sneak preview pics. Now, you may have to use a little (actually, more like a lot of) imagination, but bear with us, the final reveal will be worth it.
The new pool at Vuyatela echoing the shape of the boma. Note the “gin seat” all the way round, so that our guests can sit and watch the animals passing by, in cool comfort.
The fish tank is no more! The fish have all moved to the outdoor pond at the reception building and the glass has been covered with mirror, reflecting the bush beyond the dining room.
Jurie and Jaco walking the new Galago entrance road. Some extensive bush clearing has been going on to open up the dense bush to the north of Vuyatela.
The front stoep of the new Galago – yes, still a way to go, but we can “see” the finished lodge emerging. Since our last visit a “Galago” sign appeared on the wall, a good sign indeed!

Looking good so far. Thank you for sharing
So glad things are moving along well. Looks great so far and looking forward to the final reveal.
I absolutely LOVE the term “gin seat”! It all looks quite good already.
O, how we going to miss Galago, its people, its privacy with good friends and family, hopefully you can pull it off. Good luck guys and girls, we have made our booking for this year and hopefully we will enjoy it as much.
Thank you for the update, Jurie and Pippa. It looks like a lot of things are getting done around there. I know you will be really happy to get guests back in the rooms again. I’m sure the animals can’t wait to check all the new stuff out too.
Wishing you all the best of luck!
Really miss the live safari. Will they ever resume?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPDATING US ON ALL YOU PROGRESS. EVERYTHING LOOKS BEATIFUL, ALL THE HARD WORK, WITH DAM WALL, THE LODGE AND EVERYTHING. GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN WHATEVER YOU DO.
