Upon arrival, we were welcomed by one of the ladies which was nice. The place is beautiful and the environment is peaceful. There is no noise and distractions from other visitors which we really loved. The chalets are spacious and super clean. We loved the fact that the chalets have full cutlery including enough plates and pots, and we didn't have to buy anything except food during our stay. The children loved the animals and it was so cool seeing them up close. Will definitely visit again. Thank you for hosting us!!

Reviewed By W6087VOlindah

The manager and the staff were so friendly and helpful, they do their job with love and dedication and thad with a smile all day long. The service was great, the food was very tasty, the rooms were very clean. All our trips are wonderful memories, especially the trips with Goodman. His knowledge of nature, animals, culture, his helpfulness and jokes, what a great man with a big heart. We stayed in the logde for 12 nights and were never bored. Congratulations and thanks to all the staff. We had a fantastic time. We wish we could already book a new stay there.

Incredible views

Reviewed By lmalel945605

The views are amazing. Rooms are spacious and kept clean, the Staff goes out of their way to make your stay worthwhile, the drinks are reasonably priced and the food is okay. Note there is a gravel road (a few kilometers) to get to the lodge, it is manageable with a small car though. Better signage is needed as it is easy to get lost and there is poor cellphone coverage in the area. The only thing we didnt enjoy was the game drive (it was done on the farm/premises and not at Mabalingwe as advertised, so there was no big 5 and it was done at midday when its extremely hot and all of the animals are under shades). Overall the stay was very good.

Really good week (and a much improved venue)

Reviewed By lesjackos

We last stayed here 7 years ago and much has changed, mostly for the better. The point of coming here is of course the wildlife. This was just as good as ever and our drivers made a real effort to find the animals that we wanted to see and, apart from the elusive cheetahs & leopards, they succeeded. There is one point that may not be to every safari goers taste - a number of the key beasts had tags; presumably to aid discovery as well as herd management. This has pros and cons: - on the positive, it assists good viewings of the target animals thus less disappointment; - on the negative, it removes an element of the "in the wild" experience that other safaris might provide. My view was I enjoyed the sightings. Where the venue has really improved is the main communal facilities - ie the dining. Whilst some evenings were a set buffet style menu, the food was varied and good. Wine was decent and reasonably priced. The a la carte evenings had very good food considering where we are sitting. The lodges are well laid out with a fair degree of privacy. A great week.

The hospitality at its best

Reviewed By kia76

Lindiwe is a modern and stylish lodge located within a private wild estate adjacent to the Kruger National Park. The location is stunning: the lodge is in the bush and we were able to see plenty of animals when we walked around. Our room was so charming! A small cottage built with the traditional wood and straw roof and very nicely decorated with a romantic and typical canopy bed. But what makes this lodge so special is the hospitality: Patrick and Nathalie are wonderful hosts! We felt home since we stepped inside their lodge for the first time and we’ve spent an unforgettable vacation. They were helping us in organizing all the tours and activities and provided us many precious suggestions. The game drive they organized for us was one of the best of our entire vacation with the ranger (Keegan) that was very knowledgeable and friendly, providing us a lot of information about the local wildlife. We also enjoyed exploring the sorrounding area with the electrical scooters that are available at the lodge for the guests. We spotted zebras, impalas, giraffes, kudus and warthogs all within the wildlife estate area: it was exciting! The food - prepared by a local chef - was so delicious and fresh. We tried every day a different recipe and we were spoiled with tasty South African cuisine and wine. The staff was also very nice and always welcoming us with big smiles. I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Patrick, Nathalie and their staff for their incredible hospitality and for making our vacation unforgettable. We will be missing Lindiwe!

Nungubane Game Lodge

A unique experience

Reviewed By BangkokWill

I stayed at Nungubane for 4 days in May, What a wonderful place. Very intimate with only a few rooms, which allowed for great interactions with both the staff and other guests. Cosy little bar, great food and fantastic guides for the game drives. The rooms were beautiful, spotlessly clean and well appointed and the whole lodge was well managed and friendly. The game and birdlife in the reserve is of a high standard, I was lucky enough to see a great variety, including the elusive Aardwolf! A special thanks to Peter, Keegan and Bertud for making it such a memorable experience. I shall return!

Amazing set-up with communal kitchen

Reviewed By Bry K

We loved our stay at Bushriver lodge. We were on a 3-month Africa trip and this was the only place we stayed in that had a communal kitchen of such a good quality. We loved it! It was really well-equipped. We had our own fridge and shelf and it was surprisingly clean and tidy at all times. My partner was raving about the good quality of the kitchen equipment, particularly the knives This along with the bar and dining area was amazing. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely Melody. Having her around was so amazing. She was fun and solved all our problems for us. One of the nicest hotel managers we met. We liked the pool area. Although small, it was under a huge tree and dappled sunlight came through. We stayed in 2 rooms, both of which we loved. Nr 1 which had the hugest bathtub I have ever seen and which was lovely, and the honeymoon suite nr 5 which was stunning, had one of the nicest bathrooms I have ever seen in a hotel along with a huge deck. We absolutely loved this place. You have to be aware that there are a lot of baboons around. Their antics are very cute but they got into the kitchen once and stole food! The lodge are working on a solution to this. In any case, we will definitely be back!

I recently stayed at Nyati and had an exception solo experience. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I was in the Rhino tent and it was comfortable, clean and the river view was beautiful. The guides were knowledgable in all the wildlife / animals in the park. The food was delicious and entertainment was superb.
