We really enjoyed our stay at Safari Plains. The accommodation was very comfortable, staff very accommodating and friendly and the food was delicious. We saw lots of animals on our game drives and our game ranger, Ben, made the drives super informative.

It was a complete safari experience. The food was great and so were the staff. I highly recommend requesting for Peu to be your guide for the game drives

The staff is amazing…everyone is welcoming and helpful The game drive was one of the best we have been on; we got to experience the lions having breakfast after a successful kill of 2 blue wildebeeste the previous night…marvelous!

"Absolutely great!!"

9.0

Safari Plains is a relatively small scale operation that offers gamedrives, accommodation in luxury ‘tents’ (that more resemble upmarket hotelrooms with thatched and/or canvas roofs instead of concrete walls, floors and ceilings) breathtaking views, nice and varied food, excellent spa and, maybe most importantly; staff that will do everything in their power to make your stay as pleasant and unforgettable as humanly possible. Laidback luxury at its best. Daily early morning and late afternoon gamedrives will get you in very close contact with lions, rhinos, hippos, lots of antilope subspecies (from the smallest to the biggest), elephants, zebra, buffaloes, wildebeest, impala, the occasional crocodile, warthogs, hyenas etcetera, etcetera. In our case we spotted 24 different species of mammals…

There will always be something that appeals to some more than to others. I can easily live without the ‘bushbraai’ that seems to be a standard feature twice a week. But most people seemed to be happy banging the table in an unsuccessful attempt to imitate the sound of african drums…

Game drives included, lots of staff and all were very helpful. Room had aircon and a ceiling fan. There is also a mini fridge

Beverage policy is a bit confusing. Shower was not draining properly and they were not able to fix it even after reporting it. There is not much space to unpack clothes
