September 11, 2011: Elefun Center at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge
Families with children have always been welcomed at Sabi Sabi’s Bush Lodge. Now the family experience reaches a new level with the opening of the EleFun Centre, a fully fledged children’s facility within the lodge environs which fosters children’s awareness and appreciation of nature.
The recently completed centre was designed by childcare professionals who set about creating a space that is fun, safe and educational. The EleFun Centre will be offering hands-on, interactive activities designed for 2 distinctly different age groups. The Junior Tracker programme is for 4 to 8 year olds, and the Junior Ranger programme is for children between the ages of 9 and 12.
The Elefun Centre will be filled with learning opportunities which all of Sabi Sabi’s young visitors will have the chance to experience. Age-appropriate bushveld themed activities and ‘edutainment’ are designed and supervised by qualified staff, and will include interesting bushcraft subjects – animals, bugs and birds, tracking, map-reading – a long list of environmentally sensitive subjects that every child will find fascinating. There will be time for creative hobbies, arts and crafts, and the
afternoon sessions will be for fun-filled bushveld games. Selected rangers will lead bush walks and talks, as well as specially planned children’s game drives. The beautifully designed centre also includes a wonderful, secure, outdoor play area.
While set itineraries will take place every morning and afternoon, the children will also be welcome to enjoy the facility between formal sessions.
Mums and dads can relax and enjoy the incredible safaris, get pampered in the spa, or just kick back and enjoy some private time, knowing that their children are reveling in their own special bushveld experience.
