Every single part of our stay was 10/10 The game drives you are taken on are amazing - we saw the big 5 in the first 3 drives. Joshua, our ranger and Difference, our tracker were superb at their jobs; super relaxed and highly skilled at what they do. The food is out of this world! The staff are extremely nice and accommodating of any request but they are not too ‘in your face’ either - they allow you to make what ever you like of your stay. Elizabeth and Thambi and their team do such amazing work with fresh and local produce - every meal was an experience to remember! Jan is one of the waiters and bar men - he was so kind and friendly in his engagements with us, making us feel welcome and give us an insight into life in the area. He chatted freely about his life and asked about our lives. Getting to know him and the other staff was a real bonus of the trip. You come as a tourist and leave as a friend.

Featuring mountain views, Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp in Timbavati Game Reserve features accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar.

We had a wonderful vacation. The Thabamati team looked after all of our needs and we could not have asked for more. The location is beautiful and the nature fantastic!

We had a wonderful time at Geiger's camp. It is a very private location where one could completely relax. The food was very good, too. Always different and it never felt wastful. Overall nice view of the park and you could swim looking out in the distance. The staff very friendly and attentive, too. The highlight were the safari trips though. Our guide Landon and our tracker Jacky were both knowledgeable and fun. They went out of their way to ensure we saw all animals we could. We got lucky and got to see not only the big five but also wild dogs (twice!) and cheetah, as well as many more cool animals. Waking up early for the safaris is a bit tough but so worth it! We had a wonderful vacation and would love to come back.

We loved the location in the middle of the bush. The amenities and the comfort are outstanding while eco responsible. The staff is absolutely lovely and very careful while being very professional. The food is excellent and changes every day, the walk games are wonderful even if of course you don't see as many animals as in cars...but the contact with the nature and the intercation with animals is unique...and our guide was so nice and skilled. I defintely recommend to anyone who wants to live a true expreience in the bush

Simbavati is a magnificent place. So quiet, scenic and luxurious. Brett and the team are an amazing bunch and took care of us as guests so well. We received the same hospitality that was afforded to international tourists which is refreshing. The tents are clean, comfortable and the outside shower is wonderful. The deck with private daybed overlooking the dam is so peaceful and relaxing. The food is tasty and personal service is attentive. The game drives we had with Josia and Derreck were undoubtedly the best safari experience we've had. We saw the big 5, and much more. As an overall package, the experience was well worth it and exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic location, beautiful small scale lodge with ultra pleasant and friendly staff. The activities were fantastic, especially the morning game walks. Being escorted by two very knowledgeable Rangers, we felt safe in the bush and immensely enjoyed the walks and all that we saw and learned these days.

The hotel is beautifully decorated, the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful with everything. We travelled with young kids and the chef always had some special kid friendly food freshly made in case they didn’t like the menu. The rooms are spacious and the surrounding by nature is beautiful. The location is perfect, it’s directly next to the gate of the Manyeleti game reserve and to the Orpen gate. So no need to travel far for the safari. The safari organized by the hotel was amazing too. They are well prepared with blankets, coffee breaks or afternoon drinks. And once you come back you are always warm welcomed with a wet towel and a big smile by the staff! We were extremely happy with our choice and would recommend to everyone to visit the Orpen Kruger!
