Our Team
Personal Service
Led by our very capable management team, Charita and Evert Hanekom, Idube Game Reserve aspires always to make our guests feel welcome. Our mission is to look after visitors in a friendly and relaxed way, and the number of repeat guests is testament to the comfort our staff members provide.
We have a dedicated team of chefs, FGASA*-trained rangers, trackers, maintenance and cleaning staff, who all make our guests their top priority. We provide on-the-job training for many of our team and recruit when we can from our local communities.
