"This was my second time staying at Raptor Retreat and it was just as good as the first. Our lodging, the Hippo Cottage, was huge, very well equipped and had a wonderful view of the river and the animals. One morning, we saw a parade of elephants right by our window. I also loved the soaking bathtub that also had a great view. We did three amazing game drives with Keith, the owner of Raptor Retreat on which we saw an incredible variety of animals including a huge herd of elephants, hippos and...

"We had a great experience at Nyati Safari Lodge, from check-in to check-out. We stayed for six days and had a wonderful time. All the staff were friendly and polite, and the game drives were both knowledgeable and enjoyable. We did four game drives with Peter, which were exciting adventures as we searched for animals. Also, Lux and Henry were great and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, and everything was well-organized. There are a few areas that could use some attention and...

"I will write in my language because I can express myself better. Foi a melhor experiência que meu marido e eu tivemos. Desde a hora que chegamos até a hora de ir embora. TODOS colaboradores do hotel sem exceção foram fanáticos, nos sentimos como parte da família Naledi. Tivemos um momento incrível na noite do jantar que meu marido estava fazendo aniversário, eles preparam tudo com muito carinho. Os drivers foram fantásticos, super divertidos e atenciosos, a comida de todas as refeições super...

"Highly Recommended! We enjoyed our stay in Parsons Hilltop especially when all the staff are very attentive and helpful. The room is clean and bed is super comfortable (hotel standard). The food is good and chef will arrange special dietary needs if any. The game drives are fantastic with very informative guide."

"Karongwe River Lodge is simply PERFECT! We couldn’t recommend it more. The rooms are very spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had a incredible view of the river, where we often saw various types of animals (crocodiles, giraffes, impalas, inhalas, hipos, and more). The staff is very welcoming and thoughtful to our every need. Very kind people indeed. We incredibly well received and treated by every single person who assisted us in the lodge. Really remarkable!

"Chisomo was fantastic. The manager Steven (or Stephen?) was wonderful and ever present. Food was great and plentiful. Rooms were everything you’d want. The property - pool, walkways, dining area - were all very well maintained. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. All the activities were very well-executed and planned. Drivers/guides/trackers were wonderful (knowledgeable, friendly, professional, etc.). Highly recommended. "

"Incredibly romantic and well structure, the Lodge delivers an unique experience with wild Safaris and an amazing place to relax! Would definitely come back and do it again, highly recommended!"

"My first experience at Ekuthuleni,was excited because its private, clean as seen on the pictures and Rina is loving and made us feel special as if we were the only guests. the chalet is ever clean and well equipped with everything one may require in a day to day life."

"The place is good cause we needed privacy and away from town, but the place was not clean. In the bathroom the arr spider webs and ant hills under basin. We stayed for 2 days and the linen was not changed, the was dust on the study table and the pedestals. When you drain water from the tub or flash the is a awful smell dont know from where. But the receptionist Melody, she was the best 10/10."

"An amazing place for a safari! "

1/5 Terrible

"Not value for money. Dinner was tasteless. Disturbing was to catch a worker at 07:30 the next morning hiding under our tent while we were bathing. The wooden floor has clear gaps to look through. When confronted he said he was there to fix a problem. Complained to the manager and she only replied "Sorry for that". No investigation or request to identify the worker. Internet is non-existent and lights are inadequate in the tent. "
