Our stay was absolutely incredible – hospitality on a whole different level (if we could give 11/10, we would!). The entire team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and every single person we met was exceptionally kind and genuine. The food was delicious, and every meal felt like a treat. A special shoutout to our amazing guide Andrew – your knowledge and energy made our experience truly unforgettable. And a huge thank you to our wonderful host Phindi – you were so helpful and kind. Thank you for everything – we’ll never forget this place!

Everything was perfect!! Probably the best hotel experience we ever had! Perfect welcoming, extremely friendly staff (without being too much), beautiful outside areas with amazing atmosphere created with oil lamps and candles, great experience on the fire pit over a drink and a great chat upon arrival from game drive, spotless pool area. Loved the “mi casa, tu casa” concept where we could help ourselves to the open bar. The sleeping room was beautiful and spotless clean. The food was amazing and the chefs really friendly, the high teas phenomenal…… we could go on and on and on about Tambuti. Go do yourselves a favour a book this lodge!

A special thank you to Caitlinn, who was incredibly kind and helpful, and to Carel, our guide, who made every safari unforgettable with his knowledge and enthusiasm. I felt genuinely cared for during my stay. It was an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to return one day!

The rooms were very clean and absolutely safe. The staff was absolutely amazing. Welcoming, friendly and helpful to assist with all our needs. The food was delicious and all home made, with a potato salad and a Melktert to die for. The accommodation is about a 10 minute drive to the entrance of the pilanesberg when entering at Manyane Gate or in the other direction at Kwa Maritane and about a 20 minute drive when entering at Baghubang gate. Highly recommended from us.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg. It is easily accessible however the roads to the Pilansberg are not in great shape. It would be best to take a shuttle than to drive yourself. The park is fantastic with all the animals. We saw many lion, a leopard, many elephants, many rhino and lots more. I highly recommend.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally. This will be our last trip and we have been going for 15+jears. The road to the reserve is horrific but worse is the roads in the reserve itself. The "tarred" sections or what's left of it is one pothole after another, not pleasant to drive at all, even at the 40km speed limit in the reserve. Hides are becoming dangerous, falling apart and the toilet facilities at these hides are TERRIBLE! It is sad to see the facilities in the reserve keep declining.

Pilanesberg has never let us down.

Pilanesberg has never let us down. Even in heavy rain there is always something if you look hard enough and seeing the park in all weathers and different seasons, with the mountains, green spaces, trees, and dams is such a treat. Love every visit! Fish Eagle lookout is spectacular and the salt lick by the visitor centre usually brings in some animals and/or birds toward the start and end of the day - plus the coffee is good.

The wildlife in the Pilanesberg is varied and every game drive we went on was well rewarded with good viewing on the plains. Black rhino reserve is quite different and probably better viewing in winter when less undergrowth.

I was here six years ago. There are much less animals. Looks like they removed hundreds animals to private game drives. It is not Pilinesberg that I saw six years ago. If you don’t want to be upset, choose Kruger.

like the meals they provided every day, and even the high tea before the afternoon safari full of joy the hotel had the best staff, who are full of energe. I would like to say thanks to Helen, she tried her best for us to find the wild animals during the trip. Although we have not collected the "big 5", it's due to the rainy day not her. the staff in the restaurant prepared the suprise for my partner's birthday which we really appreciated.

Do not book with this host! The host is dishonest as the Hotel Timeshare had no record of our reservation. They just ghosted us and did not respond to any contact, whether through booking.com or via their mobile number provided . If you want to stay here, book directly with Legacy Hotels- Kwa Maritane. Amazing service received from them to assist with our scammed booking.

I cannot say enough good things about Mbazo! The team are exceptional and they go above and beyond to ensure that every guest is taken care of. The rooms are out of this world and the food is first class. The safari guide was excellent and the highlight had to be the elephants coming to drink from the pool right outside the hotel.
