DUNDI LODGE AUGRABIES FALLS
Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
in Augrabies, Kalahari & Diamond Fields,
Northern Cape, South Africa
Dundi Lodge is conveniently situated 3km from the world famous Augrabies
Falls (1 of the five biggest waterfalls in the world) in the Northern Cape
Province, South Africa and offers the discerning visitor Africa in all its
untamed magnificence, along with truly superb standards of hospitality.
Superbly situated close to Augrabies Falls and the best game viewing areas in
the region. Our privately owned Game Reserve is only 60km from us. Our Game
reserve hugs the banks of a scenic river, the Orange River, and has magnificent
views of the overhanging cliffs, where the antics of the resident baboon troop
entertain guests.
Guests are assured of exceptional game viewing. Large variety of different
antelope can be seen in our game reserve than in any other game reserve in the
region. Rare game species includes Aardvark and Aardwolf, Eland, Gemsbok and
Black Springbok to name a few. Night game drives give the visitor an insight
into South African nocturnal wildlife.
The name Dundi:
- Shibula, a black Rhino was brought back from Lisbon Zoo in 1991 to
Augrabies Falls National Park, and our love of black rhinos began. We have
followed her progress for the past 15 years - from a tame zoo animal to a
wild rhino.
- In September 1994 her first calf was born, a female named Dundagos,
which means "we have achieved" in Nama. She is known as DUNDI for short.
- DUNDI, the fist calf ever born in captivity was born in the Augrabies
Falls National Park.
- Shibula's return to the wild has truly been successful, and we look
forward to many more calves, as her story continues.
Our observations show that black rhino are social, caring and intelligent
creatures that do not fit the stereotyped solitary, aggressive animals they are
reputed to be. Much as with elephants, family and social relationships are
important in the life of black rhino.
