The rooms were large and very comfortable. I loved how the mesh covering the windows let you leave the windows open to still enjoy the beautiful nature sounds. The facilities all around the lodge are incredible. The beautiful animals even came up to visit us some days. We feed Tuli the Tame Nyala and saw Pumbas wife with her little babies cruising around the lodge area. The staff go out of their way to make you feel like you are home and part of the family. Service and food is some of the best we have seen in the world and we are frequent travellers.

Nambiti is a fantastic Big 5 private game reserve between Johannesburg and Durban. It’s situated near the battlefields of the Anglo-Zulu wars. This was our second stay at Springbok Lodge in a year. From the start to finish, it was a lovely stay… the welcome, the stay and departure was personalised and hospitable. Mlu our ranger is really passionate about the wildlife. Staff are very helpful and friendly, take pride in their work and food was good. We were in luck with our sightings and experiences of the wildlife. Our stay was excellent and we will return!

Superb experience in the midst of abundant wildlife. The staff is phenomenally professional and friendly, the food divine and of high quality, and the activities, in our case the game drives, were an adventure we truly looked forward to. Great facilities as well: a gym, pool, lounges to relax in. A true gem! FYI: Valley Lodge is located at a different address as compared to Zulu Rock Lodge - we almost travelled to the wrong address, if it weren’t for Valley Lodge reaching out to us beforehand.

Game drives were superb and our guide, JP, was outstanding. The lodge was wonderful, with huge, very comfortable rooms and balconies, and with the wildlife passing through the grounds all the time. It was so peaceful. The staff were exceptional and could not do enough to make you comfortable. Food was excellent.

My stay at Farquhar Lodge was exceptional. The rooms were immaculate and well-maintained, with housekeeping ensuring they were cleaned while we were out. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bathroom facilities included both hot and cold water in the basin and shower. The lodge also provided fresh, clean towels daily. Additionally, the beautiful garden added to the overall serene atmosphere. I felt that my money was well spent and highly recommend this lodge to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

WE chose meals inclusive and it was exceptional. I hurt my ankle on a day walk and they arranged transport for me to the lodge. We preferred to drive ourselves to the hospitaland back. As my fall happened late afternoon we arrived just before 21h00 back. The made sure we had our outstanding supper delivered to the room
