5 Refreshing Ways to Stay Cool in Summer

Summer can be sweltering in the bushveld, but don’t stress! We’ve covered five ways to stay cool in the summer while visiting Mbizi Lodge. These suggestions can help you avoid the heat and get the most out of your bushveld vacation, whether you’re a foreign traveller looking for an authentic African experience or a resident of Gauteng.

Chill Out in One of Our Bela Bela Swimming Pools

Our Bela Bela swimming pools are a haven of calm in the middle of the bushveld, offering more than just a place to cool off. Our dazzling pools gleam invitingly as the sun beats down, luring you in for a cool swim. Our pools provide the ideal break from the intense summer heat, whether you want to swim a few energising laps, soak in the relaxing waters, or relax poolside with a cold drink.

Our pools are unique in that they promote friendship. While enjoying the sun-drenched ambience of our pool areas, guests frequently strike up conversations, form new friendships, and exchange anecdotes about their travels. Making new friends and connecting with travellers from around the globe are the perfect ways to enhance your experience at Mbizi Lodge. Our Bela Bela swimming pools are ready to help you battle the summer heat, so when packing for your trip, be sure to put sunscreen and a swimsuit at the top of your list.

Stock up on Frozen Camping Treats

There’s no better way to relieve a summer day’s intense heat and sun than to indulge in a delicious frozen treat. We advise stocking up on your favourite camping snacks and freezing them before starting your trek to Mbizi Lodge. These cold treats, which range from fruit popsicles to traditional ice creams in many flavours, can bring rapid relief on a hot summer’s day.

Imagine enjoying the fruity sweetness of a popsicle or breaking open a delectable ice cream cone while relaxing beneath the tall bushveld trees’ shade. During your visit, it’s ideal to pamper yourself and stay cool. Make sure to include these frozen treats on your shopping list when you visit our resort. They’ll satisfy your sweet craving and add to your bushveld experience, keeping you energised and renewed for your summertime exploration.

Wear Loose Fitting Bush Clothing

Wearing the appropriate clothing can have a significant impact on remaining cool. Choose airy clothing for the bush, such as linen or cotton, that fits loosely. Even in the warmest weather, these clothes keep you cool and comfortable while allowing your skin to breathe. Remember to pack sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to complete your bushveld appearance.

Learn How to Install Shade Netting for a Cooler Holiday

Installing shade netting can significantly improve your comfort if you intend to camp or stay in a caravan. Shade netting lowers the warmth within your camping area while providing shade. It’s a valuable ability, particularly at the height of summer. If you need help installing shade netting, you can get help from our welcoming team at Mbizi Lodge, making your vacation more fun and cooler.

Invest in Cool Sleeping Bags for a Good Night’s Sleep

A satisfying night’s sleep is necessary for a fun trip. Purchase cool sleeping bags made for warm climates. Thanks to the fabrics that make these sleeping bags, you will stay comfortable even on hot summer evenings by wicking away sweat and improving ventilation. Getting a good night’s sleep will boost your energy levels for the day ahead.

Now that you know these five excellent summertime survival strategies, it’s time to organise your trip to Mbizi Lodge. We provide various lodging options to meet your needs, including camping, self-catering chalets, and mountain villas. Our on-site amenities and events will also guarantee a memorable time.
