The hospitality of this establishment was absolutely incredible. The staff go out of their way to assist you and they are genuinely interested in ensuring that you have the best stay ever. The tented camp has all the luxuries one would need and the food is amazing. The rate is full board including game drives. Bheki and Sabelo really went out of their way to ensure that your safari is one to remember. Their knowledge of the bush is fantastic and they have a great rapport with each other... chatting about every animal and bird they come across as we move through the bush. Joe is a gem at the bar and dinner and makes sure that you are well taken care of. Wish I could stay a bit longer but I will definitely be back!

Gorgeous property and exceptional service at every level. Many little added touches to really enhance the experience. Great value for the money. Food is high quality and well-prepared with local choices available. The facilities are 5 star, the safari experiences personalized and excellent. You cannot go wrong choosing this safari! There is no wi-fi in the tents, only at the main lodge, that was my only negative feedback.

Super schöne Anlage mit top Zelten mit allem Komfort ausser Strom was nicht gestört hat. Tolle Game Drives mit schwerpunkt big 5. Wir hatten sehr viel Glück und haben bleibende Erinnerungen mit den Löwen, Gepard, Elefanten, Nashorn und Wasserbüffel welche wir aus kürzester Distanz von weniger als 5 Metern gesehen und erlebt haben. Und wir haben uns im offenen Land Rover jederzeit sicher gefühlt. 100% Wiederholungsfaktor!!

Great game drives with knowledgeable driver and tracker. The Food was excellent. The tents were adventurous and different in a good way. The bathroom was tired and need some upgrading. Very comfortable beds.

Un Lodge à l’ancienne où chacun est à sa place. La qualité de service est là mais il manque l’accueil chaleureux qu’on peut trouver dans certains Lodge.

we stayed there expecting a high standard (based on the cost) and a large room (75sm) with wifi (based on the hotels.com site description), and we were disappointed with both the size of the room as well as lack of wifi, and the poor state of the bathroom. All staff were very nice and the location and the game drives were amazing. Food; breakfast great dinner just ok.

Gute Safari-Erfahrung, aber Zeltcamp entspricht nicht einer 5-Sterne-Kategorie eines Leading Hotels of the World. Extrem harte Plastik-Liegen, Speiseraum recht einfach, Essen meist als Buffet zwar umfangreich und von guter Qualität, aber nicht auf hohem Niveau. An der Bar kein Kaffee/Tee möglich. Thanda selbst erweckt in seinen Beschreibungen die Erwartung, dass das Zeltcamp zwar rustikaler, kleiner und günstiger ist, aber dem Niveau der Lodge entspricht. Wir fanden es eher enttäuschend, haben die Lodge aber nicht kennengelernt.
