We spent 2 nights in Motswari Private Game Reserve and it was an unforgettable experience! Wonderful food, service, exclusivity and personal attention. Our ranger, Marius was exceptional and made every game drive and our walking safari unforgettable. His trackers, Elvis and Misha was just as amazing with their knowledge of the animals and the bush. We saw 3 of the 5 "big five" in just 1.5 days of being there, thanks to these guys. The food and service at the lodge was beyond our expectations in every way. I was a vegetarian and they catered for me with exceptional skill and charm. The food was really outstanding, thank you Glenda and team! Our other hosts, Desmond and MJ looked after every detail and made our stay wonderful. Our room was large, luxurious and comfortable. We each had a great massage too (thank you Lerato), in a space where you can watch giraffes walk by... The setting of this private lodge is amazing, you overlook a river with giraffes and elephants walking by. We even had a hyena come close to us while sitting around the camp fire - so special. This was a once in a life time experience and we hope to be back again soon!

Our stay at Langa Langa in Sabi Sand was absolutely unforgettable. The luxurious suites, breathtaking views, and pool made for the perfect retreat.

Umkumbe Bush Lodge - Luxury Tented Camp

Hotel in Sabi Sand Game Reserve

Umkumbe Bush Lodge - Luxury Tented Camp is a recently renovated luxury tent in Sabi Sand Game Reserve, where guests can makes the most of its pool with a view, garden and bar.

Although it's a tent, it has all the hotel facilities inside, and the service is also very high standard. The three meals are also very good. I even ran into an antelope on the less than 100 meter road to dinner one day. Of course, if it's just these hardware, this Lodge won't leave a very prominent impression. Safari's tour guide will do everything possible to help you find animals. They share information about animal presence and will not rush back due to a 3-hour time limit. Before coming to Kruger, we had seen some animals in Chobe and on our first day here, we collected big five, which we were quite satisfied with. But the next morning Safari collected big five at once, and the luckiest thing was to see a group of five lions, who were located on the border of their private territory. I sincerely recommend the highly cost-effective Umkumbe bush lodge, and I believe I will always remember the beautiful memories here.

My three-day stay at Buffelshoek Tented Camp was nothing short of magical. Waking up to the sounds of the bush and watching wildlife from the deck was unforgettable. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully integrated into nature, offering a truly immersive experience. The staff were incredibly kind, and made every game drive feel special. It’s a perfect spot for anyone looking to connect deeply with the wild in a peaceful setting. And we even saw the big-five and some more, thanks to their amazing guide!

Kapama River Lodge

Hotel in Kapama Private Game Reserve

Part of the Greater Kruger area, Kapama River Lodge is situated in the expansive 15,000-hectare Kapama Private Game Reserve.

Since arrival in Hoedspruit Airport and pick-up by Kapama staff we were blown away by the quality of service. The Kapama pivate game reserve itself is hard to describe, the nature, it's smells and sounds are another dimension. The co-existence of animals and people, the respect from rangers towards flora nad fauna within the reserve - it makes you rethink your way of living. Kapama River Lodge is one of the best resorts we've ever stayed. Number one is the people, who are working there, number two is the quality of food served in restaurant and the rooms are large, beautifully designed and spotlessly clean. Our tracker Fanie and driver-guide Happiness made the 4 ride's unforgettable. They were not only professional and friendly, but they shared their knowledge, interesting facts and stories about flora and fauna in Kruger. They were not only chasing the Big 5, but did so much more. We can't wait to return someday, thank You!

Lion Tree Top Lodge

Hotel in Guernsey Nature Reserve

Set in Guernsey Nature Reserve, Lion Tree Top Lodge offers accommodation with a year-round outdoor pool, free WiFi, a garden and a shared lounge. The accommodation has a hot tub.

From

The place is very clean and well-kept, beautiful, in the heart of a private and quiet nature reserve. The cabins: each cabin is isolated from the other cabins. Although there ia a shower and a hotub, there is (in addition) an outside (isolated) shower. The bed is insanely comfortable, the atmosphere is romantic and reminiscent of the movie "Memories of Africa". Each cabin has private access for the vehicle. The hosts: A warm local couple, Bryan and Lynn, loving and caring, even after we left the lodge. From the first moment we got the feeling of a "home away from home". Meals: we especially enjoyed breakfast and dinner thanks to the great cooker on site and we ate the dinners around the fire. One night we even spotted buffaloes while having dinner. In conclusion, staying at the place is highly recommended, even if it is necessary to get there specifically. Thank you so much, Bryan and Lynn.

We loved our stay at Africa on foot. It was a very unique and special stay that I feel very lucky to have experienced. The walking safaris were like any other and very special to see how the guides track animals. Their skill is incredible. All staff were lovely and knowledgeable - from the guides, through to the cooks and maintenance workers. The food was also amazing! I am vegetarian and was extremely happy with the quality of the food I was given. They feed you really well!

    Sabi game reserve is quite big with many private lodges...

    Sabi game reserve is quite big with many private lodges inside. It is open to Kruger park, so animals are free to roam anywhere. The difference is that the ranger and tracker can actually follow an animal wherever they go (without entering Kruger). It is expensive , but if you can afford it, the experience is quite different. The ranger and tracker that took us for a drive from Umkumbe were great. The ranger spotted a chameleon on the tree, in the dark, under the light beam from the trackers torch, at a distance of about 25m. We have no clue how! Great experience to be able to go offroad in the vehicle and get really close to the animals. A leopard had hidden their kill in the tree, which we went back to after dark, when the leopard had come back. Unfortunately that was the only cat we saw that night. Saw a hippo and a hyena too, but that's just luck when you are out in the bush. A family on the previous night had seen the leopard kill the buck as well. The private Sabi game drive is expensive, and depending on how lucky you get, you might think it is either worth it/or a waste of money.

    It was a brilliant experience, in particular the game drives and being out in the wild. The resort is excellent! Tips: No loo on a 3-hour game drive so don’t drink too much before heading out. For photographers - consider using two cameras - short lens and long lens ones. Saves having to switch lens if you have two cameras ready. Speed if reaction is required to capture some shots.

    I am South African and I was bringing my family to see where I came from and experience the bush. This place was perfect for a family . They rooms for families are excellent, giving everyone enough space and the beds where very comfy. There is no TV - but there is bush TV - each day elephants, warthogs, various species of buck, zebra etc came and spent time out the front of our deck. We sat 1m away reading a book. We go so close it was wonderful and the kids got to experience the beauty of watching an animal relaxed and happy in their own environment. Andre and Nicholas were amazing guides who were patient and funny and taught us a lot about the animals and the environment. The food was amazing and you never felt like you wanted or needed more. Pretty much everything was made onsite. The breakfast was beautiful and the Boma experience was lovely! Thank you to all the team at Simbevati River lodge for making my family’s introduction to Africa such a wonderful memorable experience! And the animals - well we saw the big 5 in less than 24 hours and because the guides know their stuff we had plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with many of Africas famous and less famous animals. The highlights were the Lion and Leopards and of course the dear family of elephants with tiny babies and also the baby hyenas! You will not be disappointed at all !

    A fantastic private lodge with a beautiful rooms and tastefully decorated. The host Ian is outstanding as a person. If you are there especially for the hide photography I would recommend 4 days. We were unlucky with the two days we stayed in terms of sightings but that all changed the day we left. Hence would recommend at least 3 if not 4-5 days to better your chances.

    We loved the wildness of Manyeleti, and felt much closer to nature here than at Kruger. I feel that people are unaware of the real impact on the nature of things like synthetic soaps and compost toilets should be mandatory. However Manyeleti is better than Kruger in this respect.

    I paid 5,700 Rand for 3 evening drives in the reserve each lasting around 3 hours. I've been on many a game drive in the area over the years and when game spotting I am optimistic and realistic at the same time. I saw a 3 lions and a leopard along with other animals. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate my overall experience as 6. If I were to travel to the area in the future I would book 1 drive and concentrate my game viewing in Kruger Park.
